“…This empirical evidence is consistent with Shahbaz and Lean (2012) for Pakistan and Onafowora and Owoye (2014) for South Korea but contradictory with Al-Mulali et al (2015) who unveiled that economic growth is positively accompanied by CO 2 emissions for Vietnam. It is argued by Sato et al (2007) that the classical Granger causality test may provide ambiguous empirical findings due to the acceptance of the assumption of a time constant causality test.…”

This paper detects the direction of causality among carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions, energy consumption, and economic growth in Next 11 countries for the period 1972-2013. Changes in economic, energy, and environmental policies as well as regulatory and technological advancement over time, cause changes in the relationship among the variables. We use a novel approach i.e. time-varying Granger causality and find that economic growth is the cause of CO 2 emissions in Bangladesh and Egypt. Economic growth causes energy consumption in the Philippines, Turkey, and Vietnam but the feedback effect exists between energy consumption and economic growth in South Korea. In the cases of Indonesia and Turkey, we find the unidirectional time-varying Granger causality running from economic growth to CO 2 emissions thus validates the existence of the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis, which indicates that economic growth is achievable at the minimal cost of environment. The paper gives new insights for policy makers to attain sustainable economic growth while maintaining long-run environmental quality.

Numerous studies regarding the economic growth-environmental pollution link have struggled to determine the effects of various forms of energy consumption on environmental degradation, particularly in the context of emerging economies. This study examines the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) for CO 2 emissions in N-11 countries during 1990-2014 by segregating three forms of energy consumption (renewable, biomass and non-renewable). Urbanization and trade openness are additional explanatory variables that are used in the empirical framework. Using the Generalized Moments Method (GMM), the empirical evidence confirms the presence of an N-shaped relationship between economic growth and environmental degradation for N-11 countries. This study analyzed the interaction effects among trade openness, biomass consumption and economic growth; these interactions had a negative impact on CO 2 emissions levels of N-11 countries. Suitable policy recommendations have been provided based on the detailed results.

“…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). The relationship between energy use and economic growth has been presented as four main hypotheses.…”

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

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.
