Trade openness and CO2 emissions nexus in Oman

Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: Trade Openness (TO) has a strong role in the development of an economy but its impact on the overall environmental profile of a country is debatable.This analysis is focused to test how trade openness affects CO2 emissions in Oman.Unit root tests are conducted and ARDL model is employed using data from 1972-2014.The results of the study suggested that both Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita and trade openness seem to have the positive impact on CO2 emissions.It means that a higher GDP per capita and trade openness destructs the environment in the country.The results leave space for Oman's government to consider the environment while devising its trade policies.
