“…More recent examples are those of Dinda and Coondoo (2006); Managi and Jena (2008); Fodha and Zaghdoud (2010); Narayan and Narayan (2010); He and Richard (2010). There are some studies that incorporate other determinants of pollution to the EKC model such as energy consumption (Ang, 2007;Soytas et al, 2007;Ozturk and Acaravci, 2010), urbanization (Zhang and Cheng, 2009;Hossain, 2011) and foreign trade (Halicioglu, 2009;Jalil and Mahmud, 2009;Nasir and Rehman, 2011) (A common concern in these studies is poor representation of trade in the analysis, as they employed openness ratio as a proxy for foreign trade).…”

This study examines the dynamic relationship between CO 2 emissions and economic growth in Malaysia for the period of 1980-2004. The evidence of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) is tested by including energy consumption, dirty export from Malaysia to China and dirty import from China to Malaysia based on the two and three-digit ISIC data which reflect pollution-intensive manufacturing. Using dirty industries for the period of 1980-2004, the existence of Pollution Haven Hypothesis (PHH) was tested by employing ARDL approach of cointegration and the Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares (FMOLS). Six out of eight dirty industries are found to show statistically significant inverted U-shaped relationship between CO 2 emissions and economic growth, thus the EKC. Export from industries such as textile, wearing apparel and leather, manufacture of fabricated metal products and electrical machinery significantly increase CO 2 emissions in Malaysia. Most of the import coefficients are significant and positively related to CO 2 emissions, which is in contrast to the PHH. This strongly rejects the PHH for CO 2 emissions in Malaysia-China trade. There is no evidence that domestic production of pollution-intensive goods in Malaysia is being replaced by imports from China. Based on the analysis, Malaysia-China bilateral trade increases CO 2 emissions in Malaysia. There is therefore urgent need that electricity generation in Malaysia is from clean and sustainable sources. There have been efforts by the Malaysian government towards achieving this objective through its many related policies introduced since the beginning of this new millennium.

“…These developments lead to better use of energy and low rate of emission (Newman & Kenworthy, 1989;Liddle, 2004;Chen et al, 2008). Despite these agreements, some of the major studies in recent years are examining the relationship between urbanization, energy consumption and CO 2 emission are (Wei & Liu, 2007;Liu, 2009;Liu & Xie, 2009;Parshall, et al, 2010;Donglan et al, 2010;Poumanyvong & Kaneko, 2010;Xiangyang & Guiqiu, 2011;Liu et al, 2011;Hossain, 2011;Li et al, 2012;Zhang & Lin, 2012;Shahbaz & Lean, 2012;Poumanyvong et al, 2012;Al-mulali et al, 2012;Wang et al, 2013;Jones, 1991) empirically examined the effect of urbanization on Carbon emission for a large basket of developing economies. Based on its empirical results, the study reported that there is significant impact of urbanization in CO 2 emission.…”

The faster growing energy consumption and urbanization are supporting economic growth but are contributing in the environmental degradation. The existing empirical literature has been remained silent on this serious issue in case of GCC countries. The present study captures these rectangular relationships amongst these variables in the GCC countries by using panel unit root and cointegration tests for a period 1980-2011. The study finds the first difference stationarity and existence of cointegration among the concerned variables. Further, urbanization has the positive impact on CO 2 , energy consumption and economic growth. Economic growth has a positive impact on CO 2 and has a negative impact on energy consumption. Energy consumption has a positive impact on CO 2 and CO 2 has a positive impact on energy consumption and economic growth. The causality tests also confirm the direction of relationships in the most of GCC countries in the country-specific analysis. The results of the study suggest the urban planning and clean energy consumption to avoid the pollutant emissions and to achieve sustainable development for GCC countries in the long run.

“…Due to the omitted variable biased which may embodied in the first and second group, the third group emerged to examine the relationship between environmental pollutants, economic growth, energy consumption and other explanatory variables such as labor, capital, urbanization and trade openness in a multivariate frame work (Sari and Soytas, 2009;Halicioglu, 2009;Jalil and Mahmud, 2009;Zhang and Cheng, 2009;Iwata et al, 2010;Ozturk and Acaravci, 2010;Ghosh, 2010;Menyah and Wolde-Rufael, 2010;Hossain, 2011;Nasir and Rehman, 2011;Shahbaz et al, 2012). They mostly tested the existence of EKC besides testing the causal relationship between environmental pollutants, economic growth, energy consumption and other variables.…”

“…Following the recent empirical literatures such as Iwata et al (2010) and Hossain (2011) it is possible to test the long-run relationship between CO 2 emissions, economic growth, renewable electricity production and trade openness in a linear logarithmic quadratic form with a view of testing the validity of the EKC hypothesis using the following equation: where, E is a per capita CO 2 emissions, Y represents per capita real income, ELP stands for electricity production from the renewable source, TR represents trade openness and ε t is the standard error term. Based on EKC hypothesis, the sign and value of α 1 and α 2 indicate different functional forms.…”

This study examines the potential of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) in reducing the impact of carbon emission in Malaysia and the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, which leads to global warming. Using the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis, this study analyses the impact of electricity generated using RES on the environment and trade openness for the period 1980-2009. Using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach the results show that the elasticities of electricity production from renewable sources with respect to CO 2 emissions are negative and significant in both the short and long-run. This implies the potential of renewable energy in controlling CO 2 emissions in both short and long-run in Malaysia. Renewable energy can ensure sustainability of electricity supply and at the same time can reduce CO 2 emissions. Trade openness has a significant negative effect on CO 2 emissions in the long-run. The Granger causality test based on Vector Error Correction Mode (VECM) indicates that there is an evidence of positive bi-directional Granger causality relationship between economic growth and CO 2 emissions in the short and long-run suggesting that carbon emissions and economic growth are interrelated to each other. Furthermore, there is a negative long-run bi-directional Granger causality relationship between electricity production from renewable sources and CO 2 emissions. The short-run Granger causality shows a negative uni-directional causality for electricity production from renewable sources to CO 2 emissions. This result suggests that there is an inverted U-shaped relationship between CO 2 emissions and economic growth.
