In the study, a panel dataset covering the period from 1994 to 2018 is used. According to the MMQR results, both financial inclusion and human capital have a stronger impact on environmental deficit at the higher quantiles (such as energy consumption, population, and per capita income square). In the face of a higher deficit, an increase in financial inclusion increases pollution more, while human capital decreases it.en10.1007/s10668-023-04181-1info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessFinancial inclusionHuman capitalEcological deficitMMQROECD CountriesArticleQ2WOS:0011208640000022-s2.0-85177686892Q1
