CO2 emissions and economic activity : heterogeneity across countries and non stationary series

Piaggio, Matías; Padilla, Emilio

Abstract

This paper explores the homogeneity of the functional form, the parameters, and the turning point, when appropriate, of the relationship between CO2 emissions and economic activity for 31 countries (28 OECD, Brazil, China, and India) during the period 1950 to 2006 using cointegration analysis. With a sample highly overlapped over time between countries, the result reveals that the homogeneity across countries is rejected, both in functional form and in the parameters of long term relationship. This confirms the relevance of considering the heterogeneity in exploring the relationship between air pollution and economic activity to avoid spurious parameter estimates and infer a wrong behavior of the functional form, which could lead to induce that the relationship is reversed when in fact it is direct.

CO2 Emissions and Economic Ac i i y: he e ogenei y ac oss coun ies and non s a iona y se ies 2 Howe e , an EKC can be d i en by di e en unde lying ac o s, so ha he ela ion behind he hypo hesis can be gene a ed by di e en s uc u al models (Pe man and S e n, 1999).

Also, an EKC can be eached by indi idual coun ies h ough he pollu ion ha en hypo hesis (S e n e al., 1996; Cole e al., 1997). In his way, al hough an in e ed-U ela ionship can be empi ically shown, his can be a s a is ical esul s emming om o he ac o s, which migh imply ha he obse ed ela ionship be ween en i onmen al deg ada ion and economic g ow h is spu ious.

Ea lie wo ks igno ed ha he ela ionship be ween en i onmen al deg ada ion and income can be he e ogeneous ac oss coun ies (o egions), bo h in he unc ional o m as well as he pa ame e s and he u ning poin (G ossman and K uege , 1991 and 1994; Sha ik and Bandyopadhyay, 1992; Selden and Song, 1994; Ca son e al. 1997; Cole e al. 1997 and Vincen , 1997). This issue was i s s udied in he la e 1990s and ea ly 2000s (Pe man and S e n, 1999 and 2003; Lis and Galle , 1999; Dijkg aa and Vollebe gh, 2001; Ma ínez-Za zoso and Bengochea-Mo ancho, 2003 and 2004 and Dijkg aa e al., 2005). Following he same conce ns, a se ies o analyses o he EKC a na ional le el has eme ged, (among hem Vincen , 1997; de B uyn e al., 1998; Moomaw and Un uh, 1998; F iedl and Ge zne , 2003; Lekakis, 2000; Roca e al., 2001; Decon CO2 Emissions and Economic Ac i i y: he e ogenei y ac oss coun ies and non s a iona y se ies 3 and No man, 2004; Egli, 2004; Hung and Shawn, 2004; Shen, 2006; Halicioglu, 2008; Piaggio, 2008; Song e al., 2008; and Wang, 2009).

This p oblem can be sol ed i he panel da a se has o e lapped obse a ions o la ge pe iods (Egli, 2004). Howe e , his would no sol e he p oblem o assuming homogenei y in he unc ional o m o he ela ionship be ween en i onmen al deg ada ion and income among coun ies. In ligh o he abo e, he analyses ha assume homogenei y in he unc ional o m and in he pa ame e s ac oss coun ies migh in ac no e lec he beha io o he ela ionship be ween en i onmen al deg ada ion and income o hese a he indi idual le el.

The objec i e o his pape is o analyze he homogenei y in he unc ional o m and pa ame e s among coun ies in he long- un ela ionship be ween ca bon dioxide emissions (CO2) and economic ac i i y.
