Summary: The study found that increasing energy intensity, trade openness, and urbanization will increase CO2 emissions, while economic complexity has different effects on the environment. Economic complexity has altered the Environmental Kuznets Curve to some extent, and increasing economic complexity in countries enhances the effects of economic growth on increasing CO2 emissions.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between economic structure and economic complexity with environmental pollution in OECD countries, confirming the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis. It finds that most OECD countries have a positive connection between economic complexity and CO2 emissions, with the service sector being the most pollutant. Policymakers should prioritize environmental impacts in service sector planning and encourage knowledge-intensive restructuring.

Summary: This study investigates the dynamic association between economic complexity, foreign direct investment, renewable energy, urbanization process, and carbon emissions in PIIGS countries. The results show an inverted-U and further N-shaped relationship between economic complexity and CO2 emissions, confirming the presence of the environmental Kuznets curve hypotheses. The findings also support the pollution haven hypothesis and reveal the inhibiting effect of renewable energy on CO2 emissions. Urbanization process exerts significant pressure on environmental quality. Additionally, a bidirectional causal link is found between economic complexity and CO2 emissions.

Summary: This study examines the impact of globalization, economic complexity, and renewable and fossil fuel energy consumption on Japan's ecological footprint. The findings demonstrate that positive shocks in structural changes, globalization, and renewable energy contribute to the protection of environmental quality in Japan, while negative shocks in renewable energy and fossil fuels increase the ecological footprint. The short-term coefficients exhibit similar trends to the long-term coefficients but differ in significance and magnitude.

Summary: Upgrading economic structures and producing less pollution-intensive goods are essential for achieving Sustainable Development Goals in BRICS. Economic complexity has important environmental repercussions, with higher levels of complexity beneficial in mitigating CO2 emissions, while lower levels intensify CO2 emissions. Increasing technology levels can reduce CO2 emissions, while population density and economic growth contribute to CO2 emissions.

Summary: This study examines the validity of the Pollution Haven Hypothesis (PHH) and the relevance of globalization in Eastern European emerging countries, and aims to address the lack of consensus on the globalization-economic complexity-environment relation in European countries. It also explores the existence of an N-shaped Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) related to economic complexity, considering the impact of renewable energy on environmental degradation. The results show a non-linear relationship between economic complexity and carbon emissions, and confirm the presence of an N-shaped EKC. Globalization and renewable energy consumption have contrasting effects on emissions. Additionally, economic complexity moderates the carbon emissions-boosting effect of globalization. The findings provide insights for environmental development policies that promote economic complexity and renewable energy as key factors in mitigating carbon emissions.

Summary: The study finds that there are bi-directional causalities among economic growth, economic complexity, and CO2 emissions, with heterogeneous effects for different income groups. In low-income countries, economic complexity has a positive impact on CO2 emissions, while CO2 emissions have a negative impact on economic complexity. Middle-income countries show a positive interaction between economic complexity and CO2 emissions, while high-income countries demonstrate that increasing economic complexity could effectively reduce CO2 emissions, and CO2 emissions can significantly increase economic complexity.

Summary: This study examines the environmental cost of FDI inflows in the Sub-Saharan African region from 2006 to 2020. The findings support the pollution haven hypothesis, indicating that FDI is positively associated with CO2 emissions in the region. The study also reveals that CO2 emissions have spillover effects on neighboring nations. Furthermore, GDP, population, urbanization, and renewable energy resources were found to be important factors influencing CO2 emissions. The insights from this study highlight the importance of adopting renewable energy sources and implementing regulatory measures to mitigate the negative consequences of FDI-induced CO2 emissions in the host and neighboring nations.

Summary: This study analyzed the effects of economic complexity, biomass energy consumption, and information communication technology on energy consumption and CO2 emissions. It also predicted future changes. The results showed that biomass consumption, economic complexity, and ICT have a positive impact on reducing CO2 emissions, while per capita GDP contributes to higher CO2 emissions. Additionally, the study found evidence of the existence of environmental Kuznets curves in the lower quantiles of the conditional distribution.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of economic complexity on CO2 emissions, finding that economic growth and complexity increase CO2 emissions, while renewable energy consumption and globalization can mitigate CO2 emissions. Additionally, a feedback causal connection between economic growth and CO2 emissions was identified, as well as a unidirectional causality from economic complexity, globalization, and renewable energy consumption to CO2 emissions in the top 7 economically complex countries.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of disintegrated energy and economic complexity on CO2 emissions, finding that renewable energy improves environmental quality while nonrenewable energy and economic complexity intensify CO2 emissions. Technological innovation can enhance environmental quality in some scenarios but exacerbate CO2 emissions in others. The results offer valuable insights for policymakers aiming to prioritize greener production processes.

Summary: We used a data-driven agent-based model to study the core-periphery structure of two collaboration networks, and introduced a coreness value to characterize the network embeddedness of agents. The study found that the coreness values of collaboration partners were consistent with the empirical coreness differences, and explained the reason for the change in partner selection for agents with high network embeddedness.

Summary: The aim of this paper is to construct an index that captures the economic complexity of cities globally and to investigate its predictive power for city-level economic outcomes. The study finds that complex cities tend to be more prosperous, have larger populations, and are associated with greater employment, human capital, innovation, technology, and transportation infrastructure. Furthermore, a higher ECI at the city level enhances the resilience of cities to negative economic shocks.
