Sažetak
The increased concern for green economic growth made many
countries shift from simply pursuing economic growth to a green
economic growth mode to protect resources and the environment.
Against this background, we calculated China’s green GDP and
studied the impact of economic growth on environmental quality.
For green economic growth, we employed income per capita, its
square, information and communication technology, sports industry
ecosystem efficiency, and human capital. We applied innovative
econometric techniques such as cross-sectional dimensions (CSDs)
tests, cross-sectional augmented Dickey-Fuller (CADF), cross-sectional
augmented Pesaran and Shin (CIPS) tests, Westerlund co-integration
test, generalised method of moments (GMM), and fully
modified least squares (FMOLS) estimators. The obtained outcomes
showed the inverted U-shaped EKC hypothesis, which validates the
green economic growth theme. However, ICT was negatively associated
with carbon emissions. Similarly, sports industry eco-system efficiency
(SIE) showed an insignificant negative impact on the
explained variable. Human capital was inversely associated with carbon
emissions. In addition, the moderate role of the SIE significantly
reduces carbon emissions. In addition, the D-H panel causality test
results showed a significant causal association among the selected
variables. Owing to the outcomes, we proposed imperative policy
implications for the desired level of green economic growth.
