Economic growth, electricity consumption, urbanization and environmental degradation relationship in United Arab Emirates

Abstract: The present study explores the relationship between economic growth, electricity consumption, urbanization and environmental degradation in case of United Arab Emirates (UAE). The study covers the quarter frequency data over the period of 1975–2011. We have applied the ARDL bounds testing approach to examine the long run relationship between the variables in the presence of structural breaks. The VECM Granger causality is applied to investigate the direction of causal relationship between the variables. Our empirical exercise reported the existence of cointegration among the series. Further, we found an inverted U-shaped relationship between economic growth and CO 2 emissions i.e. economic growth raises energy emissions initially and declines it after a threshold point of income per capita (EKC exists). Electricity consumption declines CO 2 emissions. The relationship between urbanization and CO 2 emissions is positive. Exports seem to improve the environmental quality by lowering CO 2 emissions. The causality analysis validates the feedback effect between CO 2 emissions and electricity consumption. Economic growth and urbanization Granger cause CO 2 emissions.

Revisiting the Environmental Kuznets Curve in a Global Economy

Abstract: The present study deals with an empirical investigation between CO2 emissions, energy intensity, economic growth and globalization using annual data over the period of 1970–2010 for Turkish economy We applied unit root test and cointegration approach in the presence of structural breaks The direction of causality between the variables is investigated by applying the VECM Granger causality approach Our results confirmed the existence of cointegration between the series The empirical evidence reported that energy intensity and economic growth (globalization) increase (condense) CO2 emissions The results also validated the presence of environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) The causality analysis shows bidirectional causality between economic growth and CO2 emissions This implies that economic growth can be boosted at the cost of environment
