The impact of natural resource depletion on energy use and CO2 emission in Belt & Road Initiative countries: A cross-country analysis

Hussain, Jamal, Khan, Anwar, Zhou, Kui·2020·Energy

Abstract

Abstract We employ STIRPAT (stochastic impact of regression on population, affluence, and technology) model to investigate the impact of natural resource depletion on energy use and carbon dioxide emissions for a panel of 56 “Belt & Road Initiative” (BRI) countries over 1990–2014. We utilize the Augmented Mean Group (AMG) panel estimator and Common Correlated Effects Mean Group (CCEMG) estimator for estimating our model. The results indicate that increasing natural resource depletion increases CO2 emissions and energy use, which shows that a 1% increase in natural resource depletion for our sample of BRI countries will increase CO2 emissions and energy use by 0.0286% and 0.0117%, respectively. To check the causal relationship among our variables, we employ the VECM Granger causality test. The causality results underscore feedback hypothetical links among CO2 emissions, energy use, economic growth, natural resource depletion, urbanization, and trade openness in the long run. Our results show a significant cross-sectional dependence and heterogeneity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
