Modeling CO2 emissions in Malaysia: an application of Maki cointegration and wavelet coherence tests

Abstract

One of humanity’s most significant problems in the twenty-first century revolves around how to balance the mitigation of environmental pollution while achieving sustainable economic development. Despite increased awareness and dedication to climate change, the planet is still seeing a drastic decrease in the volume of pollutant emissions. This study explores the long-run and causal impact of economic growth, financial development, urbanization, and gross capital formation on Malaysia’s CO2 emissions based on the STIRPAT framework.
