CO₂ Emissions in Algeria: An Econometric Investigation of Financial Inclusion, Economic Growth, and Natural Resource Rents
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study investigates the dynamic relationships between financial inclusion, economic growth, natural resource rents, and CO₂ emissions in Algeria over the period 1990-2023.Employing the ARDL bounds testing approach to cointegration and error correction modeling, the analysis reveals significant long-run and short-run linkages among the variables.The findings indicate that economic growth exhibits an Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC)-type relationship with emissions, reflecting a transitional phase where environmental degradation increases with income.Financial inclusion, while enhancing economic participation, contributes positively to CO₂ emissions, suggesting a lack of green financial governance.Furthermore, natural resource rents display a robust and positive correlation with carbon emissions, challenging the assumption of 1 CC BY 4.0.
