“…The same result was arrived at by Jalil and Mahmud (2009) in their study of China. Results of the study taken by Pao and Tsai (2010) indicated bidirectional strong causality between energy consumption-emissions, and bidirectional long-run causality between energy consumption-output, along with unidirectional causalities between emissions-output and energy consumptionoutput (both strong and short-run, respectively.). Further, Sari and Soytas (2009) found a long-run relationship between income, energy consumption, and CO 2 emissions in Saudi Arabia, but not in Indonesia, Algeria, Nigeria, and Venezuela.…”

“…In this process, environmental quality has a "secondary importance" (Onafowora and Owoye, 2014). In addition, achieving a certain (high income) level does not necessarily mean that CO2 emissions in a country will decrease (Pao and Tsai, 2010). In other words, policy makers should take the necessary implications into account in reducing environmental degradation.…”

Countries try to stabilize the demand for energy on one hand and sustain economic growth on other, but the worsening global warming and climate change problems have put pressure on them. This paper estimates the environmental Kuznets curve over the period 1971-2010 in Turkey both in the short and the long run. For this purpose, the unit root test with one structural break and the cointegration analysis with multiple endogenous structural breaks are used. The effects of energy consumption and export product diversification on CO2 emissions are also controlled in the dynamic empirical models. It is observed that the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis is valid in Turkey in both the short run and the long run. The positive effect of energy consumption on CO2 emissions is also obtained in the long run. In addition, it is found that a greater product diversification of exports yields higher CO2 emissions in the long run.Inferences and policy implications are also discussed.

Policymakers around the world are confronted with the challenge of balancing between economic development and environmental friendliness, which entails a robust set of measures in energy efficiency and environmental protection. The increasing complexity of these issues has imposed pressure on the Asian countries that have been acting as global factories. This paper proposes a meta-frontier slacks-based measure (SBM) data envelopment analysis (DEA) model, with the hope that policymakers clarify the relationship between labor force, energy consumption, government expenditures, GDP, and CO 2 emissions. Clarification of the causal relationship can serve as a template for policy decisions and ease concerns regarding the potential adverse effects of carbon reduction and energy efficiency on the economy. The results show: (1) Developing countries should establish their own climate change governance and policy frameworks; (2) Developed economies should seek to lower carbon emissions; (3) Energy policies play a pivotal role in energy efficiency improvement; (4) Top-down efforts are critical for the success of carbon reduction policies; (5) Learning from the success of developed countries helps to improve the effectiveness of energy policies; (6) Environmental policies should be formulated, and new production technologies, pollution prevention measures, and treatment methods should be introduced; (7) Governments are suggested to build long-term independent management institutions to promote energy cooperation and exchange.
