Does freight and passenger transportation industries are sustainable in BRICS countries? Evidence from advance panel estimations

Freight and passenger transportation profoundly impacts environmental degradation due to the higher fossil fuel consumption and respective emissions. Therefore, this study explores the impact of freight and passenger transportation on environmental pollution (particulate matter 2.5(PM 2.5)) in BRICS...
