Environmental Kuznets curve for CO2 emissions in China: A spatial panel data approach

The Impacts of Technical Progress on Sulfur Dioxide Kuznets Curve in China: A Spatial Panel Data Approach

“…The high significance of estimated coefficients of the cubic polynomial of real GDP per capita indeed validates the assumed inverse N-shaped EKC for the SO 2 emission and economic growth nexus. This result is similar to Zheng et al [7], Millimet et al [48] and Kang et al [6]. Such an inverse N-shaped environmental Kuznets Curve is displayed in Figure 3a.…”

“…Thus, the population size enters the following models as an explanatory variable. It is noteworthy that, some scholars [4,6,67] used population density as the proxy of population effects, by which one could take the size effect of provincial land area into account. We also test this indicator in one of the model specification (Equation (6)) and present the related discussion in Section 6.5.…”

Does export product quality matter for CO2 emissions? Evidence from China

“…One of the most significant factors that increases environmental degradation is adopted production techniques and output levels (Kang et al, 2016). In this regard, increased economic activity in the country systematically leads to a surge in CO2 emissions.…”

The Kenya Case of Multivariate Causality of Carbon Dioxide Emissions

“…Finally, the third set of studies; Al-MulaliSolarin and Ozturk [30], SekerErtugrul and Cetin [15], Javid and Sharif [35],ShahbazJamBibi et al [62], KangZhao and Yang [32], OzturkAlMulali and Saboori [36], Asumadu-Sarkodie and Owusu [63,64,65,66], Saidi and Hammami [67], AhmedShahbaz and Kyophilavong [68], Asumadu-Sarkodie and Owusu [63] include other macroeconomic variables such as industrialization, urbanization, financial development, trade openness, etc. to the already existing variables in literature such as; carbon dioxide emissions, population, energy consumption and economic growth.…”

“…The first set of studies including Cerdeira Bento and Moutinho [14], SekerErtugrul and Cetin [15], Apergis and Ozturk [16], Baek [17], NarayanSaboori and Soleymani [18], Acaravci and Ozturk [19], OsabuohienEfobi and Gitau [20], Tutulmaz [21], TiwariShahbaz and Adnan Hye [22], Ben AbdallahBelloumi and De Wolf [23], ShahbazLean and Shabbir [24], Balaguer and Cantavella [25], Babu and Datta [26], Asici and Acar [27], Ben JebliBen Youssef and Ozturk [28], BilgiliKocak and Bulut [29], Al-MulaliSolarin and Ozturk [30], Fujii and Managi [31], KangZhao and Yang [32], Asumadu-Sarkodie and Owusu [33], Hao and Liu [34], Javid and Sharif [35], OzturkAl-Mulali and Saboori [36], Narayan and Narayan [37], among others have investigated the validity of the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis which suggests that environmental degradation/pollution decreases overtime as a country's GDP per capita increases. Cerdeira Bento and Moutinho [14], SekerErtugrul and Cetin [15], Apergis and Ozturk [16], ShahbazLean and Shabbir [24], Charfeddine and Khediri [38], Balaguer and Cantavella [25], Al-MulaliSolarin and Ozturk [30], BilgiliKocak and Bulut [29], Hao and Liu [34], Javid and Sharif [35] and among others support the validity of the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis while Al-TorkistaniSalisu and Maimany [39], LiuYan and Zhou [40], among others reject the validity of the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis.…”
