Examining the Linkages among Carbon Dioxide Emissions, Electricity Production and Economic Growth in Different Income Levels

Our industrialized world highly depends on fossil fuels to cover its energy needs. Although have been linked with economic growth, their use has also found severe impacts the environment. The linkages among carbon dioxide emissions, consumption and growth extensively examined in current literature. present study focuses electricity production from fuels, as well renewable sources examines CO2 emissions 119 countries of different income levels, by assessing Granger causality. In addition, Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis is tested, order evaluate whether are an inverse U-shaped relationship N-shape higher levels. EKC confirmed for high upper-middle countries, but not lower-middle low levels a bidirectional causality between GDP per capita all
