Abstract

This research attempts to examine the causal relationship between carbon dioxide emission and Gross Domestics Product. Panel data were utilized from the period of 1980 to 2010.The nature of causality between Carbon Dioxide emission per kilo tan (CO2) and Gross Domestic Product per capita (GDP) has been examined using a cross country panel data set of yearly observations covering 5 ASEAN countries. The test was carried out using panel unit root tests, panel cointegration test, panel vector error correction estimation and panel Granger causality tests to access the relationship between the respective variables. All the variables are found to be cointegrated thus indicating the existence of long-run relationship. In addition, unidirectional relationship was found from gross domestic product to carbon dioxide emission. This result would be useful for policy-making by implementing the sustainable energy approach to control the emission and to reduce a green-house effect.
