Abstract

This study investigates the link amongcritical macroeconomic factors and CO2 discharge in Nigeria from 1981 – 2017. In achieving this objective, the study adopted an emission model that incorporate FDI inflows, GDP per capita and trade for the period of study. Autoregressive distributive lag (ARDL) estimation technique was used for the model estimation. The result of the study shows that both FDI and economic performance have a positive on CO2 from industries and non-industriesshort-run analysis.However,the long run estimates reveals an inverse relationship among FDI, economic performance and CO2 dischargefrom industries and non-industries. Hence, the study suggest that policymakers should upgrade polices that would continue enhancing environmental quality in the nation through facilitating the use of low emission energy and technology.
