Globalization and environmental quality : insights from 128 countries by Le, Ha Chi

“…Fixed Effects (FE) is employed as the main estimation technique while panel Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS) and Driscoll-Kraay (D-K) standard errors estimations are employed as robustness check. The results indicate that while international integration has a detrimental impact on most components of the ecosystem, effect varies across income groups. …”
