Will be there New CO2 Emitters in the Future? Evidence of Long-run Panel Co-integration for N-11 Countries
This article tries to explore the long-run nexus between oil consumption, GDP and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the Next eleven (N-11) countries over the period 1980-2013, by using the panel c-ointegration, the panel Dynamic OLS and the panel Fully modified OLS approaches.The empirical findings...
