This study examines the causal relationship between carbon dioxide emissions, energy consumption, and real output within a panel vector error correction model for eleven countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States over the period 1992-2004. In the long-run, energy consumption has a positive and statistically significant impact on carbon dioxide emissions while real output follows an inverted U-shape pattern associated with the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis. The short-run dynamics indicate unidirectional causality from energy consumption and real output, respectively, to carbon dioxide emissions along with bidirectional causality between energy consumption and real output. In the long-run there appears to be bidirectional causality between energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions.

The nexus between carbon emissions, energy consumption and economic growth in Middle East countries: A panel data analysis (2013, background): “In other words, according to the proponents of the EKC hypothesis, emissions are considered to be a function of income whereby as income increases, emissions increase until a threshold level of income is reached after which emissions start to decline (Apergis and Payne, 2010, p. 650).”
