“…One of the most interpretations is given by Farhani et al [56], who mentioned that these results call for more attention in terms of environmental protection since environmental pollution may cause a negative externality to the economic energy through affecting human health and thereby reducing productivity. Our findings also indicate that the implementation of energy conservation policies has not inversely affected the long-term economic performance of MENA countries, but may positively affect the level of environmental pollution.…”

“…According to other works, we can also mention that pollution can be reduced if governments: i) take into account globalization (Leitão [57]), and ii) improve the industrial sector by importing cleaner technology to attain maximum gain from international trade (Farhani et al [56] [41] and IPS [42] examines non-stationary. * denotes statistical significance at the 1% level (Probabilities are presented in parentheses).…”

This study attempts to explore the causal relationship between renewable and nonrenewable electricity consumption, output and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions for 10 Middle emissions while output (real gross domestic product (GDP) per capita) exhibits an inverted Ushaped relationship with CO 2 emissions i.e. environment Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis is validated. The short-run dynamics indicate the unidirectional causality running from renewable and non-renewable electricity consumption and output to CO 2 emissions. In the long-run, there appears to be the bidirectional causality between electricity consumption (renewable and non-renewable) and CO 2 emissions. The findings suggest that future reductions in CO 2 emissions might be achieved at the cost of economic growth.

“…Among the studies referring to individual MENA countries, most refer to Tunisia (M'henni, 2005;Fodha and Zaghdoud, 2010;Shahbaz et al, 2014;Farhani et al, 2014b), and to Turkey (Akbostanci et al, 2009;Ozturk, and Acaravci, 2010;Tutulmaz, 2015). Among the studies referring to a panel of countries including some MENA countries, Narayan and Narayan (2010) tested the EKC hypothesis for 43 developing countries, including 12 Middle Eastern and 12 African countries, finding that the CO 2 emissions have fallen with a rise in income only for the Middle Eastern and South Asian panels.…”

CO2 emission and economic growth in Algeria

2016

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.

“…There are many studies that suggest a strong link between carbon emissions and economic development [20][21][22], and sustaining the decoupling state between carbon emissions and economic growth is an inevitable choice for the low-carbon economy [23], which shows economic development trends. The decoupling model is the best technique to characterize the real-time dynamic index of the relationship between carbon emissions and economic growth, which can identify the main part of circumstance contradiction in complex relations.…”
