Asymmetric effect of economic policy uncertainty, political stability, energy consumption, and economic growth on CO2 emissions: evidence from G-7 countries

Fatih Ayhan et al.

Summary: This study examines the asymmetric effects of economic policy uncertainty and political stability on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions while considering energy consumption and economic growth. The study focuses on G-7 countries and utilizes yearly data from 1997 to 2021. By applying a novel nonlinear approach called quantile-on-quantile regression (QQR) and conducting quantile regression (QR) for robustness, the study finds that the effects of economic policy uncertainty and political stability on CO2 emissions vary across countries. Additionally, energy consumption has an accelerating effect on CO2 emissions, and economic growth generally increases CO2 emissions, although the magnitude of the effect differs at different quantiles.
