Economic Growth And Greenhouse Gases In Algeria: Revisiting The Environmental Kuznets Curve Hypothesis
Authors : Benatek Adel . Akriche Kamel .
Abstract
The current research paper aims to study the link between gross domestic product (GDP) and CO2 by testing the "Environmental Kuznets Curve" (EKC) hypothesis, Considering electricity consumption (EC) and its potential impact on emissions in Algeria during the period 1990–2019. Employing Engle-Granger cointegration test, results revealed that the EKC hypothesis is invalid in this country.GDP had a negative and significant effect on CO2, nevertheless, electricity had a significant and positive impact on carbon dioxide emissions. Additionally, the causality test suggested the presence of unidirectional causality from GDP to CO2, and from EC to CO2. These findings call for further economic development efforts directed toward sustainable development.
