University of Bucharest | Romania

Dr. Kashif Abbasi research portfolio advances knowledge at the intersection of environmental economics, energy transition, and sustainable development by delivering rigorous empirical evidence on how policy stringency, innovation, finance, and structural change shape decarbonization outcomes across diverse economies. Using advanced time-series and panel econometric frameworks—such as ARDL and its dynamic, Fourier, bootstrap, and cross-sectionally augmented variants; FMOLS/DOLS; MMQR; and wavelet-based methods—the studies quantify short- and long-run effects of renewable and non-renewable energy use, green innovation, agricultural land dynamics, and financial development on emissions intensity, energy productivity, and progress toward SDGs 7 and 13. Cross-country and country-specific analyses (e.g., China, the United States, the UK, Iceland, and G7 economies) provide policy-relevant insights on energy efficiency, R&D, industrialization, and governance mechanisms that accelerate low-carbon transitions without compromising growth. The work also integrates environmental technologies, ESG considerations, and digitalization to explain heterogeneous impacts across quantiles and regimes, offering robust guidance for targeted climate policy design.
