Abstract Phasing out fossil fuel dependency to adopt renewable energy technologies is pertinent for both ensuring security and safeguarding the well-being of environment. However, financial constraints often restrict developing countries, in particular, from undergoing transition that necessary easing environmental hardships. Against this background, study makes a novel attempt evaluate impacts...

The environmental Kuznet curve (EKC) hypothesis suggests that at the initial stage of development, as economy grows, environ-mental degradation rises until a turning point is reached whereby pollution and begins to decline while continues grow (it follows an inverted U curve).

There is much discussion on the non-linear relationship between economic growth and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Additionally, effects of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) environment are ambiguous, as both beneficial (i.e., pollution-halo) harmful pollution-haven) were found.

BACKGROUND Several recent studies have reported associations between short term changes in air pollution and respiratory hospital admissions. This relationship was examined in two cities with substantially different levels of sulphur dioxide (SO2) but similar levels of airborne particles in an attempt to separate the effects of the two pollutants. Significant differences in weather between the ...

this study attempts to investigate the relationship between pollution and economic growth for two groups of countries according to environmental kuznets curve hypothesis for a sample of 24 developing countries and 26 oecd countries over the period 1980 - 2005. then, we examine this hypothesis using modern econometrics techniques including panel co-integration and panel unit-root. the panel data...
