Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Migration is an issue facing most global economies. Countries may act as migration sources, as destinations for migrants, or even as mediating ground. The recent Global Financial Crisis, the Arab Spring, and the internal and external conflicts facing several countries today, along with the continuous difficulties facing populations in various parts of the world, have transformed migration into a multidimensional issue with numerous consequences. The increasing interest of researchers in the field of migration in several disciplines has served to verify the existing trends and indicates the need to perform further work to address the issues and suggest informed policies.

In order to develop a better insight into these trends, disciplines such as economics have begun to use microeconomic and macroeconomic theory to analyze the roots and effects of such multifaceted phenomena. In this Special Issue, Economies is inviting researchers and academicians to submit their work related to “Economics of Migration”. Both empirical and theoretical work fit the scope of the Special Issue, with interdisciplinary work highly encouraged.

Remittances are a crucial part of economic expansion, especially in Central Asia. Nevertheless, it is not possible to ignore its environmental damage. This paper is a pioneer in investigating the association among CO2 emissions, remittances, energy consumption and economic development in Central Asian countries (Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan) spanning the period of 1995–2022. As a methodology, the FMOLS estimator is applied to check linear impact and long-run association as well. Panel threshold regression model and 2SLS method are applied to examine potential non-linear relations among the studied variables. Hausman–Taylor and Amacurdy estimators are employed to control the endogeneity issue among the variables of interest. The results suggest the existence of a long-run relationship among the studied variables. Precisely, applying the FMOLS method, remittances negatively impact CO2 emissions in the long run. The relationship between CO2 emissions and remittances is distorted when the endogeneity issue is considered with the Panel threshold regression model, 2SLS method, and Hausman–Taylor and Amacurdy estimators. This distortion validates the linear impact of remittances on CO2 emissions in CA. The Dumitrescu–Hurlin causality test shows that all independent variables have a causal effect on the dependent variable, validating the effect of the studied variables. Consequently, decision-makers should facilitate remittances towards more environmentally friendly and sustainable solutions to prevent the detrimental effects of remittance inflows on carbon emissions in Central Asia.
