The Myth of the Environmental Kuznets Curve: Second Generation Panel Approach for MIST Countries
Abstract
The focus of the empirical analysis in this paper is to investigate the
orthodox idea of “grow first, clean next” promoted by the Environmental
Kuznets Curve hypothesis. In this respect, we examined the relation between
CO2 emissions and economic growth for MIST countries for the period
spanning from 1971 to 2016. With the help of second-generation panel data
techniques, we employed the PANICCA unit root test, Durbin-Hausman
Panel Cointegration test, and used the AMG estimator approach. The results
strongly support a monotonously increasing relationship between CO2
emissions and economic growth. For the entire group and individually for
Indonesia and Turkey, CO2 emissions per capita rise perilously as real
GDP per capita increases.
