dc.description.abstract | This study examines the interplay between financial access, innovation, entrepreneurship, and carbon emissions using a dataset of 149 countries over 24 years (2000–2023). Employing two stage least squares (2SLS) techniques to address endogeneity, the findings reveal that financial access significantly boosts innovation and entrepreneurship, which are key drivers of economic growth. However, financial access may also increase carbon emissions if not aligned with sus tainable practices. Innovation reduces emissions by fostering environmentally friendly technol ogies, while entrepreneurship initially contributes to emissions but can mitigate this effect when supported by sustainable financial practices. The study highlights the importance of financial policies that promote green innovation and sustainable entrepreneurship, offering actionable insights for policymakers to achieve economic growth while addressing global carbon emissions. | |
