“…However, the results of this study are not in line with the research of Gupito and Kodoatie (2013), Khadaroo and Sultan (2012), Linh and Lin (2014), that found no U-inverse of EKC. This means that based on these results indicates that increasing output will have implications for increased emissions as a result of economic activities that can be worsen environmental quality.…”

“…Meanwhile, studies conducted by Gupito and Kodoatie (2013), Khadaroo and Sultan (2012), Linh and Lin (2014), found no environmental curves inverted or unverified. In addition, other empirical studies conducted by Chebbi and Boujelbene (2008), Mercan and Karakaya (2014), found a correlation between economic growth and CO2 emissions, while Joo, Kim and Yoo (2015), found no causal relationship between economic growth and CO2 emissions.…”

Increased economic activity accompanied with environmental pollution. The objective of the study was to analyze the effect of per capita GDP on CO2 emissions and to prove the hypothesis of the Kuznets environment curve. Method for analyzing data by using multiple linear regression with quadratic equation. The results show that GDP per capita has a positive and significant influence on CO2 emissions, as well as the square GDP per capita has a negative and significant influence on CO2 emissions, so the Kuznets Environment Curve's hypothesis can be proven.

“…The research findings in line with previous studies that showed the impact of economic growth to CO2 emissions and proved the hypothesis of EKC [2,[8][9][10][11].and rejects the findings of previous studies that stated there is no inverted U phenomenon [1,4,[12][13][14].…”

“…Initial research on the subject of the relationship between economic growth and environmental Kuznets curve are numerous [2,[8][9][10][11], explained in their respective research that per capita Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has a positive relationship to CO2 emission and prove that there is an inverted U shape. While [1,4,[12][13][14], did not find the inverted Kuznets curve in their research. Other researcher, [7,[15][16][17][18] came to conclusion that there are correlation between economic growth and CO2 emission, but [19] did not find any correlation between economic growth and CO2 emission in their research.…”

The issue of environmental degradation has long been associated as a residue of the economic development process, especially in low income countries. Development activities have to continue nevertheless, because people's welfare is the goal. This study aims to find the impact of economic growth, population and energy consumption to environmental pollution. Another purpose is to prove the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis. The methods utilized is panel data regression with fixed effect model using Drisscol-Kraay estimator. The result of the study indicates that increased per capita GDP and population leads to environmental pollution in low income countries, while energy consumption has no significant effect. The result also confirmed the EKC hypothesis in low income countries.

“…The results found the existence of the EKC hypothesis in ASEAN-8. Khadaroo and Sultan (2013) investigated the EKC hypothesis for Mauritius. The conventional inverted-U EKC is not found; instead a long-run quadratic relation implying higher carbon emission as a result of economic growth is revealed.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the effects of population growth (PG), environmental quality and trade openness on economic growth of major developed and developing countries. Design/methodology/approach The authors have used the panel unit root and panel co-integration tests over the period 1960-2013. Granger causality test is used to find out the direction of causality between the variables. Findings There is a bi-directional relationship between economic growth and trade openness, and a unidirectional relation, running from trade openness to CO2 emissions in the three developed countries. PG has a positive effect on economic growth in three developing countries and there exists a bidirectional relationships between CO2 emissions and PG and a unidirectional relationship from PG to economic growth and from trade openness to economic growth. Furthermore, there is a unidirectional relationship from PG to economic growth and bidirectional relationships between trade openness and economic growth for the six selected countries. Originality/value This is the first comprehensive research that combined the selected three major developed and three major emerging countries of the world to explore the effects of three important variables on economic growth. The authors’ findings will help the policy makers as well as the people of these six countries. this study has shown the aggregate and disaggregate results, so a comparison between the groups of countries is possible. Therefore, this research has significant contributions.
