Abstract

This study analyzes the impact of religion on environmental quality. Constructing a theoretical model built on the Schumpeterian production function, we reveal that religion can promote pollution emissions. Moreover, the mediating effects of labor force and product variety innovation between religion and pollution are positive. Furthermore, the mediating role of quality improving innovation varies across different stages of economic development. Our findings provide useful insights for policymakers seeking to enhance environmental quality.
