“…Its main point is that environmental quality will deteriorate in the early stages of economic development, but when the economic development reaches a certain level, it will improve after a while [4,12]. For example, some scholars use the EKC to study whether economic growth improves environmental quality [13]. Apergis and Ozturk [14] have examined the relationship between CO 2 emissions and economic development in 14 Asian countries.…”

Spatial Spillover Effects of Environmental Pollution in China’s Central Plains Urban Agglomeration

Promoting the rise of Central China is one of the most important national strategies regarding the promotion of China's economic development. However, the environmental issues in the central regions have become remarkably severe. It is therefore worthwhile exploring how economic development and environmental protection can be coordinated. Focusing on the 29 prefecture-level cities in the Central Plains Urban Agglomeration, the authors empirically analyze the relationship between the economy and the environment from 2004 to 2014. The combined methods of the spatial autocorrelation model, the environmental Kuznets curve, and the global spatial correlation test are systematically employed. The results show that: (1) a strong spatial correlation exists between industrial wastewater discharge, industrial sulfur dioxide, and dust emissions in the Central Plains Urban Agglomeration; (2) the relationship between the economy and the environment of this urban agglomeration reveals an inverted "U" curve, which confirms the classical environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis. Industrial dust emissions have surpassed the inflection point of the Kuznets curve, but its spatial spillover effect still remains strong. This is caused by an accumulation effect and a lag effect; (3) the proportion of the secondary industry and population has a strong positive effect on pollution discharge; investments in science and technology have a certain inhibitory effect on industrial sulfur dioxide emission. Moreover, an increase in the number of industrial enterprises has a negative effect on industrial wastewater emission. At the end, the authors put forward policy recommendations regarding the establishment of a joint supervisory department and unified environmental standards at the regional level to deal with the spillover effects of pollution.

CO2 emission and economic growth in Algeria

2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Algeria is one of the most important CO 2 emitters among developing countries and the third among African countries. It pledged to curb carbon emissions by at least 7% by 2030.However, complying with this target may be a difficult task without compromising economic growth. The aim of this paper is to analyze the relationship between CO 2 emissions and economic growth in Algeria, taking into account energy use, electricity consumption, exports and imports. The validity of the EKC hypothesis, throughout the period from 1970 to 2010, is tested by using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag model extended to introduce the break points. Results confirm the EKC for Algeria. Nevertheless, the turning point is reached for a very high GDP per capita value, indicating that economic growth in Algeria will continue to increase emissions. Results also indicate that an increase in energy use and electricity consumption increase CO 2 emissions, and that exports and imports affect them negatively and positively, respectively. Therefore, it is necessary to promote renewable energies and energy efficiency policies. Regulatory reforms are needed to facilitate foreign investments with which to carry out these policies. Likewise, it may be appropriate to decrease subsides in energy prices to encourage energy efficiency.

“…The estimated turning point of the panel EKC occurs for the FMOLS (DOLS) estimation at an income level of 10.37 (10.41) in logarithms. Farhani et al (2014) also find bidirectional causality between all variables in both the short-and long-runs. Kasman and Duman (2015) investigate the relationship between CO 2 emissions, energy consumption, income, and trade-openness in a panel data framework for new and can-didate European member states from 1992 to 2010.…”

“…As a result, only two studies are directly comparable in terms of the econometric and theoretical approaches while including the influence of trade in the analysis. Farhani et al (2014) investigate the causal relationship between CO 2 emissions, energy consumption, economic growth, and trade-openness for a selection of 10 Middle East and North African (MENA) countries. 1 Energy consumption, GDP, its square, trade-openness, manufacture value added, and modified HDI index (MHDI) explain CO 2 emissions.…”
