We find that real exports, human capital and real income are cointegrated when real exports is...

Researchers prefer to use a demand system that best fits their data. This paper examines a nonnested test of comparison between the quadratic expenditure system (QES) and the almost ideal demand system (AIDS). We determine which model is more suitable by analyzing the value and the significance...

In this study, based on the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) framework, we empirically examine the effects of trade openness and the level of economic development on pollution emission across the Chinese provinces. Our regression analysis shows that increasing trade openness contributes to...
