Decomposing the linkages between energy consumption, air pollution, climate change, and natural resource depletion in Pakistan

This study aims at examining the causal relationship between energy consumption, natural resources, environmental pollution (i.e., CO2 emissions) and climate change (i.e., Greenhouse gas emissions - GHG) in the context of Pakistan, over the period of 1975–2012. The study applied bivariate cointegrat...
