Movement towards a low carbon emitted environment: A test of some factors in Malaysia by Danlami, Abubakar Hamid, Applanaidu, Shri Dewi, Islam, Rabiul

“…Similarly, there is a positive relationship between fossil fuel consumption and CO2 emissions over the same period.Population density was found to have positive impacts on CO2 emissions. …”

Environmental quality indicators and financial development in Malaysia: unity in diversity by Alam, Arif, Azam, Muhammad, Abdullah, Alias, Malik, Ihtisham Abdul, Khan, Anwar, Tengku Hamzah, Tengku Adeline Adura, Faridullah, Faridullah, Khan, Muhammad Mushtaq, Zahoor, Hina, Zaman, Khalid

“…The GMM results show that population density has a negative relationship with the all four financial indicators; however, in case of M2, this relationship is insignificant to explain their result. …”

Causal nexus between energy consumption and carbon dioxide emission for Malaysia using maximum entropy bootstrap approach by Gul, Sehrish, Zou, Xiang, Hassan, Che Hashim, Azam, Muhammad, Zaman, Khalid

“…The empirical results show that there is a unidirectional causality running from energy consumption to carbon emission both in the bivariate model and multivariate framework, while controlling for broad money supply and population density. The results indicate that Malaysia is an energy-dependent country and hence energy is stimulus to carbon emissions.…”

Gender-specific stochastic frontier health efficiency model in Malaysia by Baten, Md Azizul, Jamil, Jastini, Zainal Abidin, Norhaslinda, Mohd Shaharanee, Izwan Nizal

“…This study addresses an important issue of efficiency of national health care systems and develops an appropriate stochastic frontier gender-specific health efficiency model where the inefficiency term is modeled as a linear function of relevant explanatory variables.We used the latest data available on life expectancy as health outcomes and number of doctors, number of nurses, total health expenditure, GDP in prices as the inputs.Using the likelihood-ratio test, Translog stochastic frontier gender-specific health efficiency model is found an appropriate in Malaysia.From the result, total health expenditure is found significant and positively impact on life expectancy that indicates an increase in total health expenditures is expected to higher the overall health outcome measured by life expectancy while GDP in prices is observed unexpected to have a negative effect on life expectancy but significant. The population density in Malaysia is recorded to reduce the inefficiency on life expectancy and the total fertility rate is noticed unexpected to increase the inefficiency. …”
