"The impact of trade openness on CO2 emissions in Iran, 1971-2005" by Fotros, Mohammad Hassan and Reza Maaboudi Abstract The increase of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions is of major environmental problems. Economic growth necessitates more use of resources and more residues and wastes thrown in the nature, environmental degradation. Economic growth, trade openness, and environment degradation have had volatile and non-monotonic relationships. This paper investigates the relationships between trade openness, economic growth, and the CO2 emissions in Iran during the period of 1971-2005. We choose a model in which CO2 emissions are related to the economic growth, trade openness, capital stock, and the energy consumption of the country. For the purpose of analysis, and quantifying the relationships of the variables, generalized method of moments (GMM) approach is applied. The preliminary results indicate that trade openness has significant positive impact on the co2 emissions. And the emission-trade elasticity is lower than unity. On other hand, the elasticity of emission-growth is higher than unity with a negative sign. |
