Economic Growth, Population, and Policy Strategies : Its Effects on CO2 Emissions

Abstract

This research work has been focused on China and India. Both Countries has a big number in population in the world and the rate of economic growth has been increasing every year. However, this is still accompanied by air pollution (CO2 emissions). Therefore, this study aims to analyze the relationship of population and GDP to CO2 emissions in China and India in the 1984-2014 timeframe and provide policy recommendations related to the problem being analyzed. Estimates use VECM to analyze the data collected. The results of the study show that in China and India, GDP and population in the short and long term have a positive effect on CO2 emissions and provide policy recommendations on willingness to pay for industry and willingness to accept for the community. The Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis was not confirmed in the case of China and India.

Financial Institutional and Market Deepening, and Environmental Quality Nexus: A Case Study in G-11 Economies Using CS-ARDL

“…Li et al [11] observed that financial market deepening and financial institutional deepening have an adverse effect on environmental quality by increasing the amount of CO 2 e in BRICS countries from 1990 to 2019. Aminata et al [51] found positive effects of GDP and population on CO 2 e by using the vector error correction model in China and India from 1984 to 2014 at shorter and longer scales, whereas [52] found the negative impacts of financial deepening on CO 2 e in GCC countries from 1993 to 2019. Mohsin et al [53] found significant positive and negative relations between GDP and CO 2 e for Europe and Central Asia by using the ARDL method for the duration from 1971 to 2016.…”
