“…Following the path of these studies, over the last three decades, researchers have attempted to estimate EKCs for CO 2 emissions for various nations, and recently with a special focus on emerging countries. Abdou and Atya (2013) Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach, they determine that an EKC does not exist for Indonesia. Sugiawan and Managi (2016) estimate the EKC for Indonesia during 1971-2010 but present contradictory empirical evidences.…”

Numerous studies regarding the economic growth-environmental pollution link have struggled to determine the effects of various forms of energy consumption on environmental degradation, particularly in the context of emerging economies. This study examines the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) for CO 2 emissions in N-11 countries during 1990-2014 by segregating three forms of energy consumption (renewable, biomass and non-renewable). Urbanization and trade openness are additional explanatory variables that are used in the empirical framework. Using the Generalized Moments Method (GMM), the empirical evidence confirms the presence of an N-shaped relationship between economic growth and environmental degradation for N-11 countries. This study analyzed the interaction effects among trade openness, biomass consumption and economic growth; these interactions had a negative impact on CO 2 emissions levels of N-11 countries. Suitable policy recommendations have been provided based on the detailed results.

“…The second strand examines the pollution-economic growth nexus for a cross-section and/or panel of countries (see Almulali et al 2015a, b). Due to the fact that we are conducting a multi-country study, our literature review will focus on the multi-country papers 1 . The literature is divided into two sections, with the first part concentrating on papers wherein the individual country's long-run and short-run estimates are not provided while the second part involves papers wherein the individual country's long run and short run estimates are provided.…”

Abstract:The present study incorporates globalization and energy intensity into the CO 2 emissions function and investigates the presence of Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) in 19 African countries for the time period of 1971-2012. We have applied the ARDL bounds testing approach to cointegration to examine the long run relationship in the variables. Our results confirmed the presence of cointegration between the series in Africa, Algeria, Angola, Cameroon, Congo Republic, Ghana, Kenya, Libya, Morocco, Nigeria, South Africa, Sudan, Tanzania, Togo, Tunisia, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The results indicated the positive effect of energy intensity on CO 2 emissions in Africa, Algeria, Angola, Cameroon, Congo Republic, Ghana, Kenya, Libya, Morocco, Nigeria, South Africa, Sudan, Togo, and Tunisia while energy intensity declines CO 2 emissions in the case of Zambia and Zimbabwe. Globalization decreases CO 2 emissions in Africa, Angola, Cameroon, Congo Republic, Egypt, Kenya, Libya, Tunisia and Zambia but increases CO 2 emissions in Ghana, Morocco, South Africa, Sudan and Tanzania. The EKC exists in Africa, Algeria, Cameroon, Congo Republic, Morocco, Tunisia and Zambia but Ushaped relationship is found between economic growth and CO 2 emissions in Sudan and Tanzania.

“…The scenario is also not too different from the studies on NO 2 emission. Panayotou (1993), Selden and Song (1994), Carson et al (1997), Egli (2001), Archibald et al (2004), Welsch (2004), Fonkych and Lempert (2005), Roumasset et al (2006), Mohapatra and Giri (2009), Mobarak and Mohammadlou (2010), Brajer et al (2011), Abdou and Atya (2013) have empirically tested EKC hypothesis for NO 2 emission in diverse contexts. Similar to the studies on SO 2 , these studies have also ignored the social parameters.…”

Interaction between environmental degradation and economic growth is a growing matter of interest among policymakers. This paper examines the trilateral association between SO 2 and NO 2 emission, inequality in energy intensity, and economic growth by using simultaneousequation panel data models for a panel of 139 Indian cities over the period 2001-2013. Our results indicate that there is evidence of feedback hypothesis between NO 2 and SO 2 emissions and economic growth, economic growth and inequality in energy intensity, and NO 2 and SO 2 emissions and inequality in energy intensity. The results also verified the existence of Environmental Kuznets curve for both of the pollutants. These results are of interest to environmental and economic policymakers as these can help in coming up with economic policies to ensure environmental sustainability and an inclusive economic growth.
