TI  - Dissipating environmental pollution in the BRICS economies: do urbanization, 
      globalization, energy innovation, and financial development matter?

AB  - The question of how Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS 
      countries) can substantially dissipate environmental pollution (EVP) remains 
      unsolved. In this regard, this research explores the dynamic association between 
      energy consumption (EGC), economic expansion (EXP), globalization (GLO), energy 
      innovation (ENI), urbanization (URB), financial development (FID), and 
      environmental pollution (EVP) using panel data from 1990 to 2020. This study 
      integrated the augmented mean group (AMG), common correlated effect means group 
      estimator (CC-MG), and fully modified ordinary least square (FMOLS) model 
      approach to estimate the long-run interaction among the series. The findings of 
      this study reveal a positive and significant association between economic 
      expansion, energy consumption, urbanization, financial development, and 
      environmental pollution. In contrast, globalization and energy innovation 
      extensively abate EVP in the BRICS economies. Moreover, the outcome of the 
      Granger causality test indicates that energy consumption and energy innovation 
      have a bidirectional association with EVP. The Granger causality test further 
      revealed a unidirectional causality between globalization, urbanization, 
      financial development, and environmental pollution. Finally, this research has 
      implications for policymakers in the BRICS countries.
