“…The results also indicate that the macroeconomic segment and trade segments are directly and significantly related to each other. Another study that supports a similar idea in the context of Egypt was conducted by Alkhateeb and Mahmood (2019) who mentioned that while trade can lead to economic growth in a country, it does intensify the consumption level of energy, which in turn can increase the CO2 emissions that a country produces. An increase in the income or improvement in the economic growth levels of a country can increase energy consumption as well which can have an environmental degradation impact on the country in general.…”

Economic growth is very basic need of any economy but its environmental effects should not be ignored. We investigate the environmental effects of economic growth and energy consumption of Saudi Arabia. The study uses data of a period 1968-2014 and cointegration test and corroborates a long-and short-run relationships. The results indicate that economic growth and energy consumption contributes in CO2 emissions in both long-and short-run. It means that increasing economic growth of the Kingdom has social cost on the economy in terms of pollution emissions. Based on findings, we recommend to use the alternative renewable sources of energy consumption to avoid the pollution effects of growth in Saudi Arabia.

“…Other than an inverted U-shaped curve, both inverted N and M-shaped relationship can vary in different periods. Alkhateeb and Mahmood (2019) found the positive effect of trade openness on energy consumption. Moutinho et al (2017) tested the existence of EKC in Portuguese and Spanish economies and provided evidence of an inverted N-shaped EKC.…”

Education can play an effective role in building social responsibility in a community which can help to reduce pollution emissions. This present research investigates the effects of education, energy consumption and economic growth on CO2 emissions in Saudi Arabia using data of a period 1971-2014. We find that primary education could not affect CO2 emissions, but, secondary education has a negative effect while energy consumption has a positive effect on CO2 emissions. In the long run, an inverted U-shaped relationship is found between CO2 emissions and economic growth and Kingdom is found at first stage. Hence, economic growth is responsible for environmental degradation. We recommend to enhance the secondary education to improve the environment of the Kingdom and to use cleaner source of energy to avoid negative environmental consequences of economic growth.

“…Siddiqui et al [34] found the asymmetrical effects of oil price on the stock markets in some Asian countries. Alkhateeb and Mahmood [35] found the asymmetrical effects of trade openness on energy consumption in Egypt. Hence, the asymmetrical effects of trade openness can also be expected on CO 2 emissions.…”

Trade Openness and CO2 Emissions: Evidence from Tunisia

We investigated the asymmetrical effects of trade openness on CO2 emissions and the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis in Tunisia during the period 1971–2014. The integration analysis suggests a mixed order of integration and the cointegration analysis corroborates the long- and short-run relationships. The EKC was proved true with a turning point gross domestic product (GDP) of approximately 292.335 billion constant US dollars, and Tunisia was found at the first phase of EKC. Moreover, we corroborate the asymmetrical effects of trade openness on CO2 emissions. The effects of increasing and decreasing trade openness are found to be positive and insignificant on CO2 emissions, respectively. The pollution haven hypothesis is found to be true in Tunisia, along with negative environmental effects associated with increasing foreign trade.
