“…The second category comprises of research that has found no causality existing between the variables. Soytas et al (2009) found that income does not maintain a relation of Granger-causality with carbon emissions in the United States in the long run (although energy use does). Soytas and Sari (2003) did not locate a causal relationship between the variables-energy conservation can, in their analysis, help reduce CO 2 emissions without affecting a country's economic growth.…”

“…Their results show a significant relationship between electricity consumption, economic growth, and technological innovation, which is in line with the applicability of endogenous growth theory to the energy sector. Fei et al economic growth and energy pollution (Akbostanci et al, 2009;Jalil and Mahmud, 2009;Narayan and Narayan, 2010;Jaunky 2011), while others focus on the relationship between economic growth, energy use, and environmental degradation (Soytas et al, 2007;Ang 2007Ang , 2008; Apergis and Payne, 2009;Sadorsky, 2009;Apergis et al, 2010;Hatzigeorgiou et al, 2011;Hamit-Haggar, 2012;Ozcan, 2013). Numerous studies also indicate that energy use is the main contributor to carbon emissions (Shahbaz et al, 2013a, b, c, d;Al-Mulali et al, 2015;Dogan and Turkekul, 2016).…”

How economic growth, renewable electricity and natural resources contribute to CO2 emissions?

et al. 2018

This study explores the relationship between economic growth and CO2 emissions in the so-called European Union 5 (EU-5) countries (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom) for the 1985-2016 period. In doing so, we employ a carbon emission function to investigate the environmental Kuznets curve phenomenon, which describes a relationship between economic growth and environmental degradation. The empirical results confirm the existence of an N-shaped relationship between economic growth and CO2 emissions in the EU-5 countries. We incorporate additional variables such as renewable electricity consumption, trade openness, natural resource abundance, and energy innovation to augment the carbon emission function. Renewable electricity consumption, natural resources, and energy innovation improve environmental quality, while trade openness and the interaction between economic growth and renewable electricity consumption exert a positive impact on CO2 emissions. This study is novel in that it presents an interaction between economic growth and renewable electricity consumption. We also confirm the need for renewable energy regulations related to increasing renewable sources and promoting energy innovation to reduce the negative effects of energy and fossil energy resources on environmental degradation.

“…Finally, a combined approach of these two approaches has emerged in the recent literature which enables the researchers to conduct the validity of both nexuses in the same framework. Ang (2007) and Soytas et al (2007) initiated this combined line of research. A wide range of econometric techniques and procedures have been utilized to test the validity of nexus between output-energy and output-environmental pollutants.…”

“…A recent and emerging line of literature seems to incorporate both nexuses into multivariate framework. This approach facilitates the examination of the dynamic relationships between economic growth, energy consumption and environmental pollutants altogether, see for example, Ang (2007), Ang (2008), Soytas et al (2007), Soytas and Sari (in press). …”

An econometric study of CO2 emissions, energy consumption, income and foreign trade in Turkey

This study attempts to examine empirically dynamic causal relationships between carbon emissions, energy consumption, income, and foreign trade in the case of Turkey using the time series data for the period 1960-2005. This research tests the interrelationship between the variables using the bounds testing to cointegration procedure. The bounds test results indicate that there exist two forms of long-run relationships between the variables. In the case of first form of longrelationship, carbon emissions are determined by energy consumption, income and foreign trade. In the case of second long-run relationship, income is determined by carbon emissions, energy consumption and foreign trade. An augmented form of Granger causality analysis is conducted amongst the variables. The long-run relationship of CO 2 emissions, energy consumption, income and foreign trade equation is also checked for the parameter stability. The empirical results suggest that income is the most significant variable in explaining the carbon emissions in Turkey which is followed by energy consumption and foreign trade. Moreover, there exists a stable carbon emissions function. The results also provide important policy recommendations.
