Abstract

Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, industrial output growth, population growth and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows in Bangladesh for 1972-2008 are found non-stationary in terms of both Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) and Kwiatkowski, Phillips, Schmidt and Shin (KPSS) tests with different orders of integration. As a result, the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model and Vector Error-Correction Model (VECM) are estimated. There is evidence of a co-integrating (converging long-run equilibrium) relationship between the variables of long-run causal flows from industrial output growth, population growth and FDI to CO2 emissions. FDI seems to marginally mitigate CO2 emissions. Furthermore, short-run interactive net positive feedback effects among the variables can be observed.
