Abstract: (1311 Views) |
global warming and the greenhouse effect caused by the release of atmospheric pollutants and the subsequent threat to life on the planet have become one of the most important challenges facing governments and their economic decision makers. Emission of carbon dioxide from fossil fuels in industries plays a significant role in this pollution. Furthermore , in the countries that have sheltered the worn-out industries of the developed countries, the emission of carbon dioxide gas caused by the fuels used in the industry, inappropriate industrial infrastructure and high energy consumption are the main reasons that endanger the environmental conditions of these countries
this study has examined the effect of exchanges resulting from trade openness on carbon dioxide emissions in MENA countries during the period from 2004 to 2020. Meanwhile, by using spatial econometric techniques, it has paid attention to the mutual effect of countries on each other in the process of producing carbon dioxide gas. The results indicate the confirmation of the effect of spatial proximity and the positive effect of the degree of commercial openness on the emission of carbon dioxide in the studied countries.
