摘要: The objective of the study is to investigate the long-run relationship between climatic factors (ie, greenhouse gas emissions, agricultural methane emissions, and industrial nitrous oxide emission), air pollution (ie, carbon dioxide emissions), and energy sources (ie, nuclear energy; oil, gas, and coal energy; and fossil fuel energy) in the panel of 35 developed countries (including EU-15, new EU member states, G-7, and other countries) over a period of 1975–2012. In order to achieve this objective, the present study uses sophisticated panel …
