“…We can interpret this to mean that the relationship between the two will be eliminated in the two‐lagged period. This result is consistent with those of Hasanov, Liddle, and Mikayilov () and Wang and Ang (). Third, there is unidirectional causality in the economic factors, such as from FDI or GDP per capita to import volume as well as from export volume or GDP per capita to FDI for the region as a whole.…”

“…On the one hand, Wang and Ang () analyze the impact of international trade on changes in CO 2 emissions at the global level from 1995 to 2009 and suggest that although growth in trade volumes contributed to total emissions, changes in emission intensity and the composition of trade‐related goods reduced emissions to a certain degree, particularly after 2005. Hasanov, Liddle, and Mikayilov (), on the other hand, focus on oil‐exporting developing economies to investigate the role of trade in CO 2 emissions and show an impact of statistically significant but opposite signs for the impact of international trade on consumption‐based CO 2 emissions. In addition, their study indicates that changes in the relationship between trade and CO 2 emissions will be well absorbed in about 3 years; however, international trade has a statistically insignificant impact on territory‐based CO 2 emissions.…”

This study investigates the causal relationship between carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and economic factors in Chinese provinces. Then, this study undertakes a comparative analysis of the eastern, central, and western provinces using a vector autoregressive model and panel data for 1997–2015. The results show there is unidirectional causality from per capita gross domestic product (GDP) to CO2 emissions in eastern and central provinces. Meanwhile, there is unidirectional causality from CO2 emissions to GDP per capita in western provinces. There is unidirectional causality between CO2 emissions to foreign direct investment in central and western provinces but no impact in eastern provinces. However, there is unidirectional causality between CO2 emissions to export volume only in eastern provinces. Based on the results, this study concludes that to reduce CO2 emissions, China should not only implement strict laws and regulations but should also advocate green investment, technological innovation, development of a circular economy, and sustainable development.

Thus, according to [32][33][34] first generation test such as common root-Levin, Lin (LLC), Chu and Breitung, individual Im, Pesaran, shin (IPS), Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF), and individual root-Fisher-PP, and Hadri have been computed individually from all explanatory variables.…”

This study analyzes the core energy consumption among countries specific variables by Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis (EKC), for a panel data of 29 (14 developed and 15 developing) countries during the period of 1977-2014. By assessing Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) regressions with first generation test such as common root, individual Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF), and individual root-Fisher-PP have been computed individually, the results confirm the EKC hypothesis in the case of emissions of solid, liquid, gases, manufacturing industries and also construction. Hence, we computed the cointegration test by Pedroni Kao from Engle-Granger based and Fisher. Onward, since the variable are co-integrated, a panel vector error correction model is estimated in GDP per capita, emission from manufacturing industries, arms import, commercial service export and coal rent, order to perform Pairwise Granger Causality test and indicate Vector Error Correction (VEC), with co-integration restrictions. Moreover, the statistical finding from VEC short-run unidirectional causality from GDP per capita growth to manufacturing industries and coat rent, as well as the causal link with manufacturing industries and commercial service export. Additionally, since there occurred no causal link among economic growth, arm import and coal rent.

“…Second, although a large number of empirical studies have been undertaken on decoupling analysis, the findings have still shown no uniformity with respect to the possible channels, key drivers and extents (states) of decoupling between carbon emissions and economic growth. For instance, some recent studies (Mikayilov et al, 2018;Piłatowska and Włodarczyk, 2018;Schroder and Storm, 2018, among others) confirmed the existence of decoupling between carbon emissions and growth. While, some other studies like Hilmi et al (2018) and Jiborn et al (2018) found no evidence of decoupling.…”

Is Carbon Decoupling Likely to Happen in Africa: Evidence from Production and Consumption-Based Carbon Emissions

Abstract Background Decoupling is a green growth concept suggested as a means to achieve economic growth without or with less environmental risks. Despite extensive empirical studies made on decoupling between emissions and growth, the existing evidence is quite mixed and inconclusive. On top of that, the vast majority of studies considered emissions generated at the point of production alone which do not explicitly account for emissions associated with international trade. Accordingly, this study examines the issue of decoupling between carbon emissions and economic growth in 25 African countries over 1990-2017, considering both production and consumption-based CO2 emissions. Results The results from decoupling method and panel data estimation techniques invariably indicate some evidence of relative decoupling for production-based emissions, but no robust evidence of decoupling for consumption-related emissions. Primary energy intensity and population are found as the main drivers of carbon emissions in Africa. Further, exports and imports have insignificant effects on territorial emissions, but significant and offsetting effects on consumption-based emissions. Conclusion The main conclusion of the study is to incorporate emissions generated from consumption activities in emissions-growth linkage as production-related emissions alone would evidently be insufficient for decarbonizing economic growth. The study also suggests that climate policy measures in Africa are not fully-effective in mitigating carbon emissions and hence the need for enforcing active policy interventions and consumption-related emissions regulation in particular.
