Environmental Kuznets curve in Southeastern Europe: the role of urbanization and energy consumption

Miroslav Verbic et al.

Summary: The study finds an inverted U-shaped relationship between real GDP per capita and carbon dioxide emissions, with short-term evidence of a two-way causal relationship between urbanization and pollutant emissions, and long-term negative coefficients of real GDP per capita and energy consumption on pollutant emissions. This suggests the presence of an error correction mechanism driving variables back to equilibrium, and that the consistent increase in energy consumption has not reduced environmental pressures.
