Abstract:

in this study, the relationship between co2 emission and economic growth in the brazilian and southern african countries was examined using panel mapping test and panel causal analysis for the 19802010 period, the study results have increased co2 emission of 1 in economic growth in these countries by about 055, as well as observing that countries have severe increases in co2 emission along with economic growth in these countries, for example, in brazil, in india and south african, an increase of 1 in economic growth co2 emissions co2 in 1, respectively, has been determined by the results of a clear energy level of 0, according to the results of economic growth in a range of 0, and a range of environment in a range of energy and a range of 0, and a range of environment

Abstract:

In this study, the relationship between CO2 emission and economic growth is investigated in India, China, Brazil and South Africa countries for the period 1980-2010, using panel cointegration test and panel causality analysis. The results indicate that in these countries the increase of GDP by 1% raises CO2 emission almost by 0.55%. Furthermore, according to countries individual results it is observed that CO2 emission is increasing with economic growth in these countries. For instance, in Brazil, in China, in India and in South Africa, increasing in economic growth by 1% raises CO2 emission respectively by 1%, 0.5%, 0.9%, 0.6%. With regard to panel causality test in both short run and long run there is unidirectional causality running from economic growth to CO2 emission. These countries should give place to more clean energy resources in their energy policy.
