“…The presence of the EKC in Pakistan is consistent with Nasir and Rehman (2011), Shahbaz et al (2012), Ahmed and Long (2012), Ahmed et al (2015), and Ali (2015). For the Turkish economy, our results are similar to Shahbaz et al (2013b), and Elgin and Öztunalı (2014), but dissimilar with Halicioglu (2009), Ozturk and Acaravci (2010), and Kaplan et al (2011) who supported the absence of EKC for Turkey.…”

“…Shahbaz et al (2013b) revisited the causality between energy consumption, economic growth, and CO 2 emissions for the Turkish economy and found the presence of feedback effect between energy consumption and economic growth, economic growth and CO 2 emissions, and energy consumption and CO 2 emissions. Ghosh (2009) investigated the causal relationship between income and CO 2 emissions by incorporating other variables into the emissions function and found no causality between income and CO 2 emissions for India.…”

This paper detects the direction of causality among carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions, energy consumption, and economic growth in Next 11 countries for the period 1972-2013. Changes in economic, energy, and environmental policies as well as regulatory and technological advancement over time, cause changes in the relationship among the variables. We use a novel approach i.e. time-varying Granger causality and find that economic growth is the cause of CO 2 emissions in Bangladesh and Egypt. Economic growth causes energy consumption in the Philippines, Turkey, and Vietnam but the feedback effect exists between energy consumption and economic growth in South Korea. In the cases of Indonesia and Turkey, we find the unidirectional time-varying Granger causality running from economic growth to CO 2 emissions thus validates the existence of the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis, which indicates that economic growth is achievable at the minimal cost of environment. The paper gives new insights for policy makers to attain sustainable economic growth while maintaining long-run environmental quality.

“…The first group of studies focuses on the economic growth and pollution nexus (Heil and Selden 1999;Halicioglu 2009;Soytas and Sari 2009;Shahbaz et al 2013). Akbostanci et al (2009) have investigated the relationship between income and environmental quality in Turkey for the years from 1968 to 2003 and the results concluded that there is an increasing relationship between CO 2 and income in the long run.…”

Th e paper empirically analyses the long run relationship between agricultural performance and the carbon dioxide emission in Turkey by using the annual data covering . Th e Bounds test approach for the co-integration and ARDL (Autoregressive Distributed Lag) method are employed to show the existence of long-term relationship between the carbon dioxide emission and its determinants in this country. Th e results consistent with the Environmental Kuznets Curves (EKC) hypothesis show that the real GDP has a signifi cant positive impact on the carbon emission and its square has a signifi cant negative impact on the carbon emission both in the short run and long run. Th e results also show that agriculture has a signifi cant negative impact on the carbon dioxide emission level in both periods. Consequently, the fi ndings suggest that the policies or reforms that are increasing or supporting agricultural production may help to decrease the carbon dioxide emission levels of the countries.
