Associating drivers of economic development with environmental degradation: Fresh evidence from Western Asia and North African region

This study quantifies the Environment Kuznets curve's validity against two different environment proxies, the ecological footprint and carbon emissions for selected seventeen Western Asia and North African countries over the period 1980 to 2017. The study employs the Interactive Fixed Effect (I...
