The Impact of Natural Resources, Renewable Energy, Economic Growth on Carbon Dioxide Emission in Malaysia

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze the impact of natural resources, renewable energy, and economic growth on carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emission in Malaysia. Due to the increase in industrialization the state of Malaysia faces significant problems such as environmental pollution. In this study time series data has been used and the ARIMA equation has been used by the researcher in this study. The researcher collected the data from the year 1988 to 2017. The outcomes of the study suggest that natural resources and economic growth have a positive impact on CO 2 emissions, while renewable energy has a negative impact on CO 2 emissions. No scholar has examined the effect of natural resources, renewable resources and economic growth on CO 2 emissions in Malaysia. So this study will enrich the information and literature in the context of Malaysia. Future scholars should include more variables such as non-renewable energy sources, SO2 and NOX emissions.

Energy transition for meeting ecological goals: Do economic stability, technology, and government stability matter?

“…Also, enhancing economic development can control pollution levels. Likewise (Aeknarajindawat et al, 2020), found that green energy utilization curbs emissions in Malaysia. However, enhancing development levels intensify emissions.…”

Nexus between carbon dioxide emissions and economic growth in G7 countries: fresh insights via wavelet coherence analysis

“…De Bruyn et al (1998) also provide evidence of the existence of the EKC hypothesis for the Netherlands, the UK, the USA, and Western Germany, and Galeotti and Lanza (1999) do so for 110 countries. More recently, several studies used more complex statistical methods to test the EKC hypothesis without finding qualitatively different results (Halkos and Tsionas, 2001;Bertinelli and Strobl, 2004;Martinez-Zarzoso and Bengochea-Morancho, 2004;Bradford et al, 2005;Liu, 2005;Vollebergh et al, 2005;Galeotti et al, 2006;Song et al, 2008;Fodha and Zaghdoud, 2010;Shahbaz et al, 2013;Bassetti et al, 2013;Aeknarajindawat, Suteerachai and Suksod, 2020;Bekun, Agboola and Joshua, 2020;Rana and Sharma, 2019;Rauf et al, 2018;Wasti andZaidi, 2020 andZambrano-Monserrate et al, 2016). On the other hand, several studies find limited evidence of the presence of EKC for CO 2 emissions (e.g., Dinda, 2004;Tol et al, 2009;He and Rickard, 2010;Wang et al, 2011;Adedoyin, Awosusi and Adeshola, 2020;Dogan and Inglesi-Lotz, 2020;Koc and Bulus, 2020;Mikayilov, Galeotti and Hasanov, 2018;Sarkodie, 2018 andWang et al, 2019).…”

The effect of natural resources extraction and public debt on environmental sustainability

“…Despite the growing number of studies, the seemingly scarce of study for the case of Ghana and African countries on the current issue (Gyamfi, 2021;Joshua and Bekun, 2020) compared to studies on other developing and developed countries/regions regarding natural resources and carbon emission (Aeknarajindawat et al, 2020;Khan et al, 2020Khan et al, , 2021Balsalobre-Lorente et al, 2018;Agboola et al, 2021) and debt and carbon dioxide emission (Bese et al, 2021;Zhao and Liu, 2022) necessitate further studies. Also, the potential non-linear relationship between debt and carbon emission has not been examined empirically yet.…”
