Abstract

This study analyzes the effect of natural resource efficiency, renewable energy, ICT, and economic growth on carbon dioxide (CO?) emissions in ASEAN-6 countries, namely Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Singapore. This study uses panel data for the period 1990-2023 and is analyzed using the panel Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL method to estimate the short-term and long-term relationships between variables. The results show that in the long term, natural resource efficiency and renewable energy tend to play a role in reducing CO? emissions, while ICT and economic growth show varying relationships depending on the economic structure and level of development of each country. In the short term, carbon emission dynamics are influenced by changes in economic activity, energy utilization, and the intensity of digital technology use. These findings provide an understanding that efforts to reduce carbon emissions in ASEAN-6 cannot rely on a single factor, but require synergy between increasing resource efficiency, accelerating the renewable energy transition, utilizing environmentally friendly ICT, and managing sustainable economic growth. Therefore, this study recommends strengthening integrated low-carbon development policies to support climate change mitigation commitments without hampering regional economic growth.

Abstract

This study analyzes the influence of energy, unemployment, infrastructure, government expenditure, and investment on economic growth in the Northern Sumatra region (SUMBAGUT), which includes Aceh, North Sumatra, West Sumatra, Riau, and the Riau Islands. The study employs panel data from 2005 to 2024 and applies the Panel ARDL model to capture both short- and long-term relationships among variables. The estimation results indicate that, in the long run, energy, infrastructure, and government expenditure exert a suppressing effect on economic growth in the SUMBAGUT region. In the short term, energy, unemployment, infrastructure, government expenditure, and investment do not show statistically significant effects on economic growth. These findings suggest that economic growth in SUMBAGUT is strongly influenced by the quality of energy utilization, the effectiveness of infrastructure development, and the efficiency of government expenditure. The long-term suppressing effects of these variables reflect potential inefficiencies and resource misallocation. Moreover, the absence of significant short-term effects indicates that development policies require time to generate measurable impacts on economic activity. Therefore, more effective and efficient development policies are necessary to promote sustainable economic growth in the SUMBAGUT region.
