The service sector and carbon emission nexus: revisiting Environmental Kuznets Curve

This study aims to examine the expansion effects of the service sector on the carbon emission in a dynamic non-linear model. Using data of 34 Asian countries ranging from 1990 to 2016, this study adopts non-linear model of the Environmental Kuznets Curve and the GMM estimator. The finding provides...
