Çevresel sorunların küresel ölçekte gündeme gelmesiyle birlikte çevresel sorunların, ekonomik kalkınmadan ve toplumsal faktörlerden bağımsız olarak ele alınamayacağı, bu faktörlerin birbirleriyle ilişkilerinin boyutlarının yönünün bir bütün incelenmesi gerekliliği ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu doğrultuda çevre kalitesi büyüme arasındaki ilişkinin varlığı biçimine ilişkin Kuznets Eğrisi (ÇKE) hipotezi ko...

This present study empiricallyanalyzes the impact of fossil fuel energy consumption on CO2 emission for Pakistan using data from 1980-2010. Our broad objective is to test the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis and factors that affect the energy consumption. We have used Johansen Cointegrationapproach and a Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) to test the long run as well as short run ...

This paper provides a specific application of the Environmental Kuznets curve is a hypothetical relationship between various indicators of environmental degradation and income per capita. In the early stages of economic growth degradation and pollution increases, but beyond some level of income per capita it tends to reverse, so that at high economic growth leads to environmental improvement. T...

This paper examines the possible existence of an Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) relationship between China’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per capita (CO2/capita) and GDP per capita (GDP/capita) in 1980-2008. The timing of the turning point in China’s CO2/capita can be further estimated if an EKC relationship exists. In regression results, a natural logarithm-quadratic relationship was foun...

This study attempts to examine the linkage between environmental degradation and economic growth in Pakistan over the period 1972-2011. The main concern of this study is to test the validity of Environmental Kuznets Curve in case of Pakistan and aims to find out the total and per capita carbon efficiency of Pakistan. Moreover, this study estimates the tipping point of environmental Kuznets curv...
