摘要: This article revisits the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions-GDP causal relationships in Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) countries by employing Rossi (Economet Theor 21:962-990, 2005) instability-robust causality test. We show evidence of significant for all considered within instability context, whereas standard Granger test fails to detect links any direction, except Egypt, Iran, Morocco. An important policy implication resulting from this robust analysis is that income not affected cuts CO2 emissions only two MENA countries, UAE Syria.
