Abstract

The study aimed to test the hypothesis of the environmental Kuznets curve in Egypt. It analyses the relationship of economic growth, measured by per capita GDP, and environmental pollution, measured by per capita carbon dioxide emissions during the period of 1975-2017 in Egypt. ARDL methodology was used to explain the relationship between the variables. The study found that the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis applies to the Egyptian economy and that there is a positive relationship between energy use and environmental pollution, while the relationship between urbanisation and environmental pollution was an inverse relationship. The relationship of trade openness to environmental pollution was not significant. The model's validity was validated for estimation using the serial correlation LM test, the heteroskedasticity test, and the histogram-normality test of residuals using the Jaque-Bera test.
