Publications Database

Welcome to the new Schulich Peer-Reviewed Publication Database!

The database is currently in beta-testing and will be updated with more features as time goes on. In the meantime, stakeholders are free to explore our faculty’s numerous works. The left-hand panel affords the ability to search by the following:

  • Faculty Member’s Name;
  • Area of Expertise;
  • Whether the Publication is Open-Access (free for public download);
  • Journal Name; and
  • Date Range.

At present, the database covers publications from 2012 to 2020, but will extend further back in the future. In addition to listing publications, the database includes two types of impact metrics: Altmetrics and Plum. The database will be updated annually with most recent publications from our faculty.

If you have any questions or input, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Abstract This paper examines the influence of population density, economic growth, and regulatory quality on the environmental performance of five SAARC countries from 2000 to 2020. To this end, fixed and random effects models are used. Quantitative data on socio-economic and environmental characteristics reveals notable differences across countries. The results show a significant positive and negative impact of the covariates economic growth and population density, respectively, on environmental performance. While the estimated coefficient of the regulatory quality variable was positive, it was statistically insignificant. The results also suggest a significant inter-country dependency and a significant change in environmental performance across countries over time. Based on the results, several strategic approaches are proposed at both individual and multi-country settings. Furthermore, we emphasize the roles of the government, international and regional agencies, private sector, and civil society organizations. Finally, possible extensions of the present paper are discussed.
