Abstract

Green growth is deliberated as an effective way for attaining environmental sustainability, but the nexus between fiscal spending and green growth is ignored in highly polluted Asian economies. To fill this gap, this study attempts to investigate the impact of public sector education and research and development expenditures on green economic growth for selected Asian economies for the period 1991–2019. The study employed FMOLS and DOLS methods to assess the association between public expenditures on education and research and development sectors and green economic growth. The study found that education and research and development expenditures both contribute significantly to enhancing green economic growth in most of the selected Asian economies. The study proposed some important policy implications for fostering green economic growth and environmental sustainability by mitigation of pollution emissions.
