Empirical study on the impact of international trade and foreign direct investment on carbon emission for belt and road countries

The rapid development of trade along the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) directly affect economic growth and influence carbon emission. This study used fifty-two BRI countries out of the sixty-five countries that signed onto the BRI in 2013 for the empirical study. The panel data extracted is from th...
