CO<sub>2</sub> Emissions Embodied in International Trade and Economic Growth: Empirical Evidence for OECD and Non-OECD Countries

This study examined the relationship between CO<sub>2</sub> emissions embodied in international trade and economic growth for OECD and non-OECD countries between 2005 and 2015. Unlike the traditional environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis, which does not account for trade patterns,...
