20.500.12556/DKUM-95777 Environmental pollution and economic activity estimating the environmental Kuznets curve for a panel of countries worldwide This paper aims to assess the impact of certain economic factors on pollution for selected 112 countries worldwide. Due to data availability, carbon dioxide emissions in tonnes per capita were chosen as the dependent variable measuring pollution. Based on panel data and generalized moments method, the relationship between economic activity and environmental pollution was estimated. The results show that in the whole sample, as well as for two subsamples of developed and undeveloped countries, carbon dioxide emissions are statistically significantly affected by gross domestic product per capita, energy intensity and renewable energy consumption. The linear effect of economic activity positively effects the pollution, while the quadratic relationship is negative. Thus, the validity of inverted-U curve of the environmental Kuznets curve has been demonstrated. The estimated effect of economic activity measured by gross domestic product per capita on pollution does not differ in developed and undeveloped countries. environmental Kuznets curve carbon dioxide emissions renewable energy industrialisation urbanisation economic development cross-section analysis okoljska Kuznetsova krivulja emisije ogljikovega dioksida obnovljivi viri energije industrializacija urbanizacija gospodarski razvoj presečna analiza true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2025-10-21 12:45:01 2025-10-21 12:45:02 2025-10-22 03:08:47 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 str. 1-12 Vol. 1 no. 3 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 2025-09-18 0000-00-00 330.34: 502.131.1 254075139 10.13044/j.sdi.d2.0627 3044-5221 https://www.sdewes.org/jsdi/pid2.0627 1 0068156f-ae6b-11f0-a9c6-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=200065 RAZ_Borsic_Darja_2025.pdf RAZ_Borsic_Darja_2025.pdf 1 1430EF50856122911BABEB331C7F031E 6f1fcb3d0e1699d7e0c5be957aa71e37d6489f78f069189b0a1b665b38694222 2a8bc274-ae6b-11f0-a9c6-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=200066 Ekonomsko-poslovna fakulteta 0 0 0
