Özet
Economists have long documented the significance of insurance markets in the development process. This study considers the nonlinear impact of insurance sector development on CO2 emissions for five high-polluting economies over data ranging from 1990 to 2019. The present study employs a panel and time series NARDL framework. We find that insurance sector development has asymmetric effects on CO2 emissions. It is inferred from the findings that a positive shock in insurance sector development increases CO2 and a negative shock in insurance sector development decreases CO2 in the long run in high-polluting economies. Regarding country-wise analysis, we also observe that a positive shock in insurance sector development increases CO2 in the USA, Russia and Japan, but a negative insurance sector development shock decreases CO2 in the USA and India in the long run The results recommend some important policy implications.
