Financial development and green innovation, the ultimate solutions to an environmentally sustainable society: Evidence from leading economies
No full textThe surge of economic activities in the world's top economies has resulted in a cumulative 57% of the world's pollution, leaving an innate impact on global environmental sustainability goals. This study investigates if financial development and green innovation play some role in de-escalating the pressing environmental challenges worldwide. By developing a comprehensive index for financial development, green innovation, and environmental sustainability from 2000 to 2019, this study aims to assess the impact of financial development and green innovation on environmental sustainability in the presence of renewable energy, non-renewable energy, industrial value-added, urbanization, gross domestic product, research and development and foreign direct investment as additional control variables. The Cross-section dependence and second-generation unit root tests have been deployed to rectify the data properties. Serving as the primary study model, the results of the panel threshold model shows that green innovation has a substantial impact on environmental sustainability and proves to be an effective tool for reducing the environmental pollution. Financial development also has a significant relationship with environmental sustainability, highlighting the significance of financial development in addressing environmental challenges. The robustness GMM test assured the validity of the study results, and granger causality reveals the substantial long-run impact of financial development and green innovation on environmental sustainability in leading economies. The present study helps policymakers and stakeholders identify the importance of green innovation and financial development to lessen environmental impacts while highlighting the role of energy choices in pursuit of long-run environmental interests. © 2022 Elsevier Lt

Trends in Inequality and Welfare in Consumption Expenditure: The Case of Pakistan
Get PDFEconomic growth is important, but at the same time it loses its importance if nothing trickles down to the poor. One of the frequent heard arguments against growth strategies is that it benefits only the comparatively well off segment of the society. This means that the concomitant of economic growth is more skewed income distribution. Growth and equity should be solved subsequently or in some cases simultaneously, otherwise these countries are exposed to disaster [Hirschman (1973)]. The surge for income distribution studies both in developed and developing countries has, however, been caused by different reasons. In a developed nation, a high economic growth, in terms of GNP per capita and the introduction of the concept of a welfare state necessitated a widespread debate on income inequality and relative poverty issues. In the developing countries, failure to achieve sustainable high growth rates and disappointment from the pursuit of growth-led macro-economic policies in the past decade has surfaced a need to conduct income distribution studies and policies. Much of the recent literature on inequality and economic well-being in Pakistan has focused on the apparent increased inequality that occurred during the last two decades.
Microfacies and foraminiferal assemblages from the Early Tertiary rocks of the Kala Chitta Range (northern Pakistan)
No full textMicrofacies analysis and foraminiferal biostratigraphy of the Upper Paleocene (Thanetian) Lockhart Limestone, Patala Formation and the Lower Eocene (Ypresian) Margala Hill Limestone from the Kala Chitta Range, northern Pakistan has been done by studying a large number of thin sections.
Most common microfacies of the shelf environment are the bioclas-tic wack.es tone, packstone and grainstone. The biociasts are bentho-nic larger foraminifera including the genera Lockhartia, Ranikothalia, Nummulites, Assilina, Operculina, Alveolina and Discocyclina . The foraminiferal assemblage is age-diagnostic and as well as indicative of shallow shelf (inner shelf or inner neritic) marine environment.Microfaciès et associations de foraminifères du Tertiaire inférieur du "Kala Chitta Range" (Nord Pakistan).
L'étude d'un grand nombre de lames minces apporte (tes précisions sur les microfaciès et la biostratigraphie basée sur les foraminifères dans le Paléocène supérieur (Thanétien : Lockhart Limestone, Patala Formation ) et l'Eocène inférieur (Yprésien : Margala Hill Limestone) du "Kala Chitta Range" -Nord Pakistan.
Les microfaciès les plus fréquents sont des calcaires bioclastiques de type wackestone, packstone et grainstone dans lesquels les bio-clastes sont représentés par de grands foraminifères benthiques : Lockhartia, Ranikothalia, Nummulites, Assilina, Operculina, Alveolina, Discocyclina.
Les associations de forminifères permettent de préciser les âges et indiquent des environnements marins de plate-forme peu profonde (plate-forme intone ou néritique proximale).Akhtar M., Butt Aftab Ahmad.

The Upper Cretaceous biostratigraphy of Pakistan : A synthesis
No full textThe Upper Cretaceous succession of Pakistan covers a time interval from Cenomanian to Turanian but largely, Coniadan to Campanian and Maastrichtian interval.
Sediments of Coniacian to Campanian age are known as the Kawagarh Formation in Northern Pakistan and correspondingly the Parh Limestone in Southern Pakistan. The regional distribution of these sediments having lithologic and palaeontologic similarity (micritic sediments and globotmncanid fauna) envisages a major transgression along the northwestern margin of the Indian Plate, whereas the Maastrichtian interval records a major period of regression along the northwestern margin of the Indian Plate marked either by a complete absence of Maastrichtian deposits in Northern Pakistan or by the development of a regional blanket of regressive facies of the shallow-water Pab Sandstone in Southern Pakistan.
Uninterrupted succession of argillaceous deposits (Korara Shale), across the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary in the Kirthar Range (Gaj River section), or the Pab Range containing Maastrichtian and Danian planctonik foraminifera in continued sedimentary environments, is among the very few worldwide examples of a continuous section across the boundary.Synthise biostratigraphique du Crétacé supérieur du Pakistan. La succession stratigraphique du Crétacé supérieur pakistanais concerne les intervalles Cénomanien-Turonien, Coniacien-Campanien et Maastrichtien. Les sédiments coniaciens à campaniens sont connus dans le Nord (Kawagarh Formation) et dans le Sud (Parh Limestone). La distribution régionale et les similitudes de faciès (micrites à globotruncanidés) supposent des phénomènes de transgression sur la marge nord-ouest de la plaque indienne. Au Maastrichtien par contre, des phénomènes de régression sont marqués par l'absence de dépôt au Nord et le développement de faciès peu profonds au Sud (Pab Sandstone). Au passage Crétacé-Tertiaire, on observe une continuité de dépôts argileux (Korara Shale) livrant des foraminifères planctoniques du Maastrichtien et du Danien, dans le Kirthar Range (coupe de la rivière Gaj) ou dans le Pab Range.Butt Aftab Ahmad.

Financial Development, Economic Growth, and Poverty Reduction
Get PDFThe frequent failure of financial liberalisation efforts in developing countries, and the serious damage which recent financial crises have imposed on these economies, have led to renewed attempts to understand the relationships between financial sector development, economic growth and poverty reduction, and to provide a more robust intellectual foundation on which to design efficient and pro-poor financial sector policies for developing countries. The paper examines the contribution that financial sector development can make to poverty reduction in developing countries. The linkages between financial and economic growth, and between economic growth and poverty reduction, are considered, and some preliminary empirical evidence is presented on these linkages. The paper goes on to argue that financial market imperfections are a key constraint on pro-poor growth, and that public policy directed at the correction of these financial market failures is needed to ensure that financial development contributes effectively to growth and poverty reduction. The final part of the paper examines in some detail the role of financial regulation and supervision policy as a key area for public intervention directed at enhancing the financial sector’s contribution to poverty reduction.
