Energy consumption
has been found to be important in understanding national and global emissions. This
paper investigates the relationships between SO2,
NOx, CO, VOC, NH3, CO2 emissions,income,
and energy consumption in Europe from 1990 to 2012. Environmental Kuznets Curve
literature has excluded spatial interdependence and this could bias the
estimates. By employing the spatial Durbin model and using panel data sets from
36 European countries, this study finds that there is an inverted-U shaped
Environmental Kuznets Curve for SO2, NOx,
CO and CO2 while NH3 emissions follow a U-shaped
relationship. Results indicate that the per capita emissions from surrounding
countries strongly influenced national per capita emissions for SO2, NOx, and VOC. Our findings also
show that population density has a negative direct and indirect impact on the
SO2, CO, and VOC emissions of European countries.
Ulusal ve global emisyonların anlaşılmasında enerji tüketiminin önemli olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
