This paper examines the relationship among real GDP, CO2 emissions, and energy use in the six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Using annual data for the years 1960-2013, stationarity, structural breaks, and cointegration tests have been conducted. The empirical evidence strongly...

The scope of the paper is to investigate the relationship among economic growth, carbon dioxide emissions and energy use for the South Caucasus area and Turkey in the 1992-2013 years. We estimate a 3-variable Vector Auto Regressions using a panel VAR technique. Empirical results show that the...

This study examines the relationship between CO2 emissions, energy consumption and economic growth in Italy over the period 1970-2006. Results of unit root tests show that all variables are non-stationary in their level form, but stationary in first differences form. The causal relationship...

The article explores the nexus between carbon dioxide emissions, economic growth, and energy use for 10 Middle East countries over the period 1971–2006. We use a panel VAR technique for the empirical analysis. The three-variable VAR estimate shows that for the six GCC countries the response of...

The paper analyses the relationship among economic growth, carbon dioxide emissions, and energy use for six ASEAN countries over the 1971-2007 years. Using a panel VAR technique, a 3-variable VAR is estimated. Empirical findings show that the response of economic growth to energy use is positive...

The aim of this paper is to analyze the relationship among economic growth, carbon dioxide emissions, and energy use for 19 APEC countries over the 1960–2013 years. Using a panel VAR technique, a three-variable VAR is estimated. Empirical findings illustrate that no causal relationship emerges...

The impact of climate change has resulted in several long-term events including extreme temperatures. Besides, the occurrence of climate events impedes economic progress –– affecting economic readiness of climate mitigation. However, the effect of climatic factors on economic productivity...

China, India, and the USA are the world’s biggest energy consumers and CO2 emitters. Being the leading contributors to climate change, these economies are also at the core of environmental solutions. This paper investigates the causal relationship among solar and wind energy production, coal...

Municipal solid waste generation is becoming a prominent issue in the environmental arena. The aim of this paper is to investigate the relationship among municipal waste generation, greenhouse gas emissions, and GDP in Switzerland over the period 1990–2017. We apply both time series procedures...
