Does population have a larger impact on carbon dioxide emissions than income? Evidence from a cross-regional panel analysis in China (2016, background): “In addition, economic growth tends to increase the energy consumption and lead to emit more pollutants [17,41].”
Multivariate granger causality between CO2 emissions, energy intensity and economic growth in Portugal: evidence from cointegration and causality analysis (2015, background): “In case of South Africa; Menyah and Wolde-Rufeal (2010) concluded that energy consumption Granger causes CO2 emissions and in resulting economic growth is 2 At initial level of economic growth, a rise in income is linked with an increase in energy consumption that raises CO2 emissions and hence envi”
Considering the effect of biomass energy consumption on economic growth: Fresh evidence from BRICS region (2016, background): “Jobert and Kranfil, [35]; for Malaysia Masih [51] and Ang [7]; for Japan Soytas and Sari, [73] and Lee, [45]; for Russia Zhang, [91] and for South Africa Menyah and Wolde-Rufael [92].”
Relationship Among Economic Growth, Energy Consumption, CO2 Emission, and Urbanization: Evidence From MINT Countries (2020, background): “It was opined in the study of Menyah and Wolde-Rufael (2010a) that CO2 emissions can be minimized by nuclear consumptions.”
Economic growth and CO2 emissions in Malaysia: A cointegration analysis of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (2012, background): “Some studies included other potential determinants of CO2 emissions such as energy consumption by Ang (2007), Soytas and Sari (2007), Menyah and Wolde-Rufael (2010) and Ozturk and Acaravci (2010); foreign trade in order to test the pollution haven hypothesis by Halicioglu (2009), Jalil and Mahmud…”
The Impact of Energy Consumption and Economic Growth on Carbon Dioxide Emissions (2020, background): “Menyah and Wolde-Rufael [41] 1965–2006 Granger causality and ARDL South Africa Both short-run and long-run relationships exist between capital, energy consumption, labour and CO2 emissions.”
Tourist arrivals and macroeconomic determinants of CO2 emissions in Malaysia (2014, background): “Menyah and Wolde-Rufael (2010) provided evidence for unidirectional causality running from pollutant emissions to economic growth in South Africa.”
The environmental Kuznets curve, economic growth, renewable and non-renewable energy, and trade in Tunisia (2015, positive): “The causality relationship that runs from emissions to renewable energy consumption is consistent with the findings of Menyah and Wolde-Rufael (2010) for the US and Apergis et al. (2010).”
The causal relationship between energy consumption and economic growth in Lebanon (2012, background): “…tried to find linkages with the environmental pollution-economic growth nexus usually investigated within the ‘‘Kuznets curve’’ framework, and have thus included emissions as a third variable in their model (see inter alia, Menyah and Wolde-Rufael, 2010; Nasir and Rehman, 2011; Pao and Tsai, 2010).”
Oil consumption, CO 2 emission and economic growth in MENA countries (2011, background): “Menyah & Rufael [26] found a long run positive relationship exists between GDP growth and CO2 emission in South Africa.”
