The relationship between energy consumption, economic growth and carbon dioxide emissions in Pakistan
Abstract Developing countries are facing the problem of environmental degradation. Environmental degradation is caused by the use of non-renewable energy consumptions for economic growth but the consequences of environmental degradation cannot be ignored. This primary purpose of this study is to inv...
