Impact of CO2 emission on life expectancy in India: an autoregressive distributive lag (ARDL) bound test approach

Abstract As a developing country, one of the important objectives India is to accelerate economic growth. This has considerable impact on CO 2 emission. Life expectancy probable connection with emission in two opposite ways. Given technological status, more consequents upon production output and higher income level which likely affect life people positive way. Conversely, air pollutants that may reduce span human life. paper aims investigate net India. Furthermore, study seeks search whether surpassed optimal limit relation expectancy. Using World Bank time series data for period 1991–2018 applying ARDL cointegration technique, concludes existence long-run quadratic relationship between The finds already its atmospheric concentration thereby suggests adopting reduction strategies.
