Re-examining the Environmental Kuznets Curve in MENA Countries: Is There Any Difference Using Ecological Footprint and CO2 Emissions?
Despite the significant research on environmental issues, there has not been considerable investigation on the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis in the MENA nations using both CO2 emissions (CO2e) and ecological footprint (EF) environmental indicators in the same setting. Therefore, the primary goal of this research is to re-examine the EKC hypothesis in 18 MENA nations from 1990 to 2018 using a panel data model labeled the pooled mean group autoregressive distributed lags (PMG-ARDL). We employ CO2e and EF as environmental quality proxies to deal with all types of pollutants, not only air pollution, as well as the demand side of environmental assets. The outcomes of the econometric study revealed the absence of the EKC hypothesis using CO2e in contrast to EF where the hypothesis is held in the entire group and both oil-exporting and importing countries. Moreover, population and non-renewable energy significantly harm the environment in the three sub-sample groups of countries in this study. This is what requires the governments of these countries to strive more toward achieving environmental sustainability by preserving the environmental capacity of the region and reducing emissions.
