Summary: The study confirms that Information and Communication Technology (ICT), especially internet-use and technological innovation, have brought significant structural changes that drive economic growth. ICT not only increases economic growth monotonically, but also enhances the effectiveness of financial development. However, it also accentuates the negative effects of trade on economic growth. Thus, emerging economies should increase internet-connectivity to induce network-effect and improve their capital markets, while also augmenting renewable electricity generation for environmentally-sustainable economic growth.

Summary: This study examines the impact of income inequality, poverty, and energy consumption on carbon dioxide emission in the Belt and Road Initiative countries. The findings reveal that income inequality, poverty, and energy consumption significantly increase carbon dioxide emission, leading to environmental degradation, while access to electricity significantly improves environmental quality. Economic growth has a positive effect on carbon dioxide emission, but follows the environmental Kuznets curve pattern. Income inequality moderates carbon dioxide emission through per capita economic growth, reducing environmental degradation in the Belt and Road Initiative countries.

Summary: This paper uses the difference in difference (DID) model to explore the impact and mechanism of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) on the level of corporate debt. The results show that the excessive debt level of enterprises has a hump trend after the implementation of the BRI. The mechanism analysis reveals that the government and financial institutions have increased tax support, expanded corporate financing sources, reduced corporate financing costs, and increased companies' demand for funds during the implementation of the BRI, leading to an increase in corporate debt levels.
