Testing the Environmental Kuznets Curve Hypothesis in CEMAC Countries

The objective of this study is to test the hypothesis environmental Kuznet curve (EKC) for 6 CEMAC countries covering period 1960-2014. We wanted know if evolution per capita income affects quality in income-emissions relationship (environment). To achieve objective, we used method fixed effects. results reveal that there no empirical support presence an Kuznets hypothesis. On other hand, rather inverted "N"-shaped between gross domestic product and CO2 emissions. Moreover, use FMOLS gives robust results. For purpose, minimum turning point which corresponds from emissions increase 89.84 dollars maximum corresponding decreases 116.21 dollars. Therefore, must undertake policies with aim reaching at least threshold 1116.21 order reverse
