The moderating effects of democracy and technology adoption on the relationship between trade liberalisation and carbon emissions

Zhou Lu et al.

Summary: This paper examines the effects of trade liberalisation policy and democracy on carbon emissions and finds that trade liberalisation increases carbon emissions, while democracy reduces the growth rates of carbon emissions. The interaction between trade liberalisation and democracy also has a positive impact on carbon emissions, indicating that trade liberalisation has a less negative effect on carbon emissions in more democratic countries. These findings have important policy implications for addressing the climate change crisis.
