“…This shift in consumer behavior and needs not only influence the consumption of energy, but also affect the appeal for other energy consuming goods and services, that ultimately escalate the level of emissions in nations. Therefore, in line with the works of Mahmood et al. (2020), Antonakakis et al.…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the nexus amid economic growth, energy consumption and carbon emissions in G20 countries for the period 1992 to 2014. In order to obtain valid and reliable outcomes, more robust econometric techniques were employed. From the results, the studied panel was heterogeneous and cross-sectionally dependent. Also, the series of observed variables were first-differenced stationary and co-integrated. The key findings from the CCEMG and the AMG regression estimators adopted showed that economic growth and energy consumption promoted the emission of carbon in the countries. In addition, urbanization and foreign direct investments as control variables escalated the rate of the countries’ CO2 emissions. From the discoveries of the Dumitrescu and Hurlin panel causality test, a feedback causality between economic growth and CO2 emissions; energy consumption and CO2 emissions; and between urbanization and CO2 emissions were correspondingly unveiled. Howerver, a one-way caual link was evidenced from foreign direct investments to CO2 emissions. This exploration is vital because it will propel the countries to formulate policies that could help them to minimize their dependence on environmentally unfriendly energy sources, while promoting the usage of clean energies like solar, wind, biogas, biomass and hydropower among others. The study is also pertinent because it will aid the countries to plan, organize and implement environmental policies in compliance to their macroeconomic objectives. When this is accomplished, energy conservation policies implemented to minimize the emanation of CO2 will improve the countries’ economic growth.

“…And this is inconformity with the idea that increasing economic growth is connected with the growing sectoral energy consumption in the country. The results support the findings of researchers such as Onafowora and Owoye 2014for Egypt, Ibrahiem (2015) for Egypt, Sulaiman and Abdul-Rahim (2017) for Malaysia, Manu and Sulaiman (2017) for Malaysia, Mahmooda et al (2019) for Saudi Arabia, but contradict the findings of Mohammad Salahuddin and Gow (2014) for no relationship between economic growth and pollution.…”

The objective of this paper is to investigate the influence of economic growth and energy consumption on environmental pollution in Nigeria for over 1981-2014 periods and utilized Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) and Philip Perron (PP) unit root tests together with Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) Model in the process of achieving the desire objective. The outcome revealed that all the variables were stationary at first difference and cointegrated whereas the long-run outcome revealed that economic growth and energy consumption have significant positive effects on environmental pollution and this implies that increasing economic growth and energy consumption are responsible for the increasing level of environmental pollution while crude oil price has negative and significant influence on environmental pollution which implies that crude oil price reduces environmental pollution in the long-run. All the short-run outcomes corroborate their long-run counterparts. Nigeria government should emphasis more on the consumption of renewable energy in order to lessen the damaging impacts of economic activities and fossil fuels energy consumption on the quality of the country's environment. Contribution/ Originality: The study contributes to the existing literatures by providing evidence that economic growth and energy consumption are responsible for the environmental pollution. The study is among the very few studies that include crude oil price in investigating the impacts of economic growth and energy consumption on environmental pollution in Nigeria.

“…Even though the relationship between economic growth and CO2 emissions in South Korea is unpredictable, they found a statistically signi cant relationship between economic growth and energy consumption, which includes coal in the industrial sector, petroleum products in the transportation and industrial sectors, as well as LNG in both the residential and commercial sectors of South Korea. From 1968 to 2014, Saudi Arabia's economic development and energy consumption were analyzed (Mahmood et al 2020). Long-term and short-term economic growth and energy use both contribute signi cantly to high CO2 emissions.…”

The current study looks at the causes of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by considering the implications of Remittances in the presence of economic growth, financial development, and energy consumption in the case of selected four G-20 economies over the period 1990–2019. This study first uses the Dynamic Simulated ARDL model to stimulate, estimate, and plot to predict graphs of negative and positive changes occurring in the variables automatically as well as their short- and long-run relationships. Results of the ARDL bounds-test confirm a long-term relationship among CO2 emissions, remittances, financial development, economic growth and energy consumption. The results of a novel dynamic simulated ARDL disclosed that the financial development is completely connected to CO2 emissions in Mexico and India in long run. On the other hand, results confirm that there is a positive relationship between remittances and CO2 emissions in case Australia, Germany, and India, but only have an insignificant relationship with CO2 emissions in case of Mexico. The result further disclosed that Renewable energy exerts a significant impact on CO2 in Australia, Mexico, India and Germany in the long run while remittances wield a significant impact on CO2 emissions in Australia, Mexico, India. Moreover, the findings concluded that GDP has significant nexus with CO2 in the long-run in case of Australia, Mexico and Germany. This study opens up new visions for the economies of G-20 countries to sustain financial and economic growth by protecting the environment from pollution through its efficient national environmental policy, fiscal policy, and monetary policy.
