This study investigates the impact of linear economy, circular economy, green energy and green patents on environmental sustainability in selected OECD countries during 2000–2018. To demonstrate the nexus between above said constructs, Cross-Sectionally Augmented Autoregressive Distributed Lag (CS-ARDL) model is adopted. Empirical findings suggest that green energy and green patents positively impact the environmental sustainability across all the quantiles. However, impact of linear economy, circular economy is negative in the short run and getting positive towards the long run. Overall, there is significant association between all the examined variables and they all are equally important to facilitates the environmental sustainability in the OECD countries. Empirical outcomes of present study help the policymakers to establish the ecological sustainability and guide them towards the attainment of sustainable development goals.

揭示线性经济、循环经济、绿色能源和绿色专利对环境可持续性的影响：来自经合组织国家的经验证据


本研究调查了 2000 年至 2018 年选定的经合组织国家中线性经济、循环经济、绿色能源和绿色专利对环境可持续性的影响。为了证明上述结构之间的联系，采用了横截面增强自回归分布式滞后（CS-ARDL）模型。实证研究结果表明，绿色能源和绿色专利对所有分位数的环境可持续性产生积极影响。但线性经济、循环经济的影响短期是负面的，长期是正面的。总体而言，所有检查的变量之间都存在显着关联，并且它们对于促进经合组织国家的环境可持续性都同样重要。本研究的实证结果有助于政策制定者建立生态可持续性并指导他们实现可持续发展目标。
