 Towards green development: Role of researchersMuhammad Mushafiq Innovation and Green Development, 2023, vol. 2, issue 4 Abstract: This research investigates the connection between the number of researchers and greenhouse gas emissions. Using a panel linear and nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) analysis of EU-27 data from 2009 to 2020. The study discovered that the connection between the number of researchers and greenhouse gas emissions is complicated and multidimensional. A rise in the number of researchers can result in a long-term increase in greenhouse gas emissions, but it can also result in a short-term decrease in emissions. In addition, the study could not find any conclusive evidence of an asymmetric link between the number of researchers and greenhouse gas emissions. The significance of examining the short-term and long-term effects of research and development efforts in solving the issues posed by climate change is highlighted by these findings. The report continues with a discussion of potential policy implications and a demand for more research into the processes behind the association between research activity and greenhouse gas emissions.
