Unraveling the environmental consequences of trade openness in South Africa: a novel approach using ARDL modeling

Wang Lanhui,
Abubakar Sadiq Ibrahim

Abstract: Free trade and environmental sustainability are currently top economic and environmental research priorities. While numerous theories connect trade openness with environmental quality, empirical evidence often fails to support these claims. Using data spanning from 1980 to 2020, our study examines the effect of trade openness on CO2 emissions in South Africa.

“…Additionally, economic policies in both countries are related directly to the International Monetary Fund. These findings correspond with those of Samargandi [92], Taher and Hajjar [93], Lanhui & Ibrahim [94] and Raggad [45], who have previously stated that economic growth increases CO 2 emissions in Saudi Arabia. Recent studies from Egypt, such as Raihan et al [95], and Adebayo & Kalmaz [75], confirm that economic growth stimulates CO 2 emissions, leading to environmental degradation.…”
