The Impact of Technological Innovation and Institutional Quality on the Environment in Nigeria
Keywords:
technological innovation, institutional quality, environment, gross domestic product
Abstract
The study investigated the impact of technological innovation, institutional quality on the environment in Nigeria. The study spanned from 1990 to 2022. The key variables in the study were technological innovation as proxy by technological index, institutional quality as proxy by six governance indicators, and carbon emission as proxy for environment. While the control variables include energy consumption and Gross domestic product. The study first conducted a pre-estimation test using Descriptive statistics and Correlation matrix, and Augmented Dickey Fuller test for stationarity while Ordinary least was used as major estimation techniques since it does not violates classical linear regression assumption. The findings from the preliminary estimation shows that all data series are stationarity at levels. The result form the best linear unbiased estimates indicate that environmentally related technological innovation destructively affects C0 2 emissions while energy consumption and economic growth positively impact C0 2 emissions.
