Assessing the roles of green innovations and renewables in environmental sustainability of resource‐rich Sub‐Saharan African states: A financial development perspective

Assessing the roles of green innovations and renewables in environmental sustainability of resource‐rich Sub‐Saharan African states: A financial development perspective

Mohammed Musah, Bright Akwasi Gyamfi, Stephen Taiwo Onifade, Frank Gyimah Sackey

Environmental literature keeps expanding on the natural resources‐environmental sustainability conundrum. However, most studies examine this conundrum in different geographical locations other than resource‐rich Sub‐Saharan African (SSA) countries while also neglecting the criticality of issues like green innovations, financial development, and renewable energy. Besides, the likelihood of a nonlinear relationship has often been jettisoned in the framework. Thus, the resources‐sustainability nexus was examined in the SSA using robust econometric techniques, while underscoring the roles of green innovations, renewable energy, and financial development. Using the cross‐sectional augmented auto‐regressive distributed lag (CS‐ARDL), cross‐sectional augmented distributed lag (CS‐DL), and the common correlated effect mean group (CCEMG) approaches that conciliate with residual cross‐sectional …
