CO2 emissions, energy consumption, economic and population growth in Malaysia

The relationship between economic growth, energy consumption, and CO2 emissions: Empirical evidence from China

“…Surprisingly, no such causal relation was found to exist between economic growth and CO 2 emissions. These results were supported by studies undertaken in relation to Malaysia by Begum et al (2015), in Indonesia by Hwang and Yoo (2014), in India by Alam et al (2011) and in Turkey by Ozturk and Acaravci (2010). According to the existing literature, the direction of the causality between economic growth, energy consumption and CO 2 emissions is both methods and periods dependent.…”

“…CO 2 emissions increased with GDP growth in the first stage (per capita income below 4686 USD) while the direction was reversed in the second stage (per capita income above 4686 USD). The study on Malaysia taken by Begum et al (2015) showed that over the period of 1970-1980, CO 2 emissions decreased with economic growth; however from 1980 to 2009, CO 2 emissions increased sharply with a further increase of GDP. Similar results were also found by Cleveland et al (2000).…”

Environmental degradation, ICT and inclusive development in Sub-Saharan Africa

“…The existing literature has been dominated by a discussion of the relationship between environmental pollution and economic growth, with a fundamental emphasis on the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis (see Akbostanci et al, 2009;Diao et al, 2009;He & Richard, 2010) 1 . Existing literature also considers the nexus between economic growth, environmental pollution and energy consumption (Jumbe, 2004;Ang, 2007;Odhiambo, 2009aOdhiambo, , 2009bApergis & Payne, 2009;Menyah & Wolde-Rufael, 2010;Ozturk & Acaravci, 2010;Bölük & Mehmet, 2015;Begum et al, 2015) and connections between energy consumption and economic growth (Mehrara, 2007;Esso, 2010).…”

Testing the relationships between energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and economic growth in 24 African countries: a panel ARDL approach

“…Whereas the former stream is well documented in the literature (Mehrara, 2007;Esso, 2010) 1 , the latter stream within a multivariate setting is a relatively new research area. The studies within multivariate frameworks have produced very conflicting results in both developed and developing countries (Jumbe, 2004;Ang, 2007;Apergis and Payne, 2009;Menyah and Wolde-Rufael, 2010;Ozturk and Acaravci, 2010;Bölük and Mehmet, 2015;Begum et al, 2015).…”
