Figure 1
A diagram of the research framework. The diagram includes several labeled boxes and arrows indicating relationships between them. The key components are Financial technology (Fintech), Environment, Natural resources rents, and Environmental degradation. Environmental quality is also mentioned but not directly connected. Financial technology (Fintech) is connected to the Environment through arrows labeled H1a and H1b. It is also connected to Natural resources rents through an arrow labeled H3. Natural resources rents are connected to the Environment through an arrow labeled H2. There is a box labeled EKC connected to the Environment through arrows labeled H4a and H4b. Environmental degradation and Environmental quality are shown as outcomes related to the Environment.Research framework
