Popis: The paper examines the relationship between carbon dioxide emission, economic growth, and energy consumption among five Central Asian countries during 2000-2017. To verify the said relationship, we have used both static (pooled OLS and Fixed effect) and dynamic Generalized Method of Moments. The results indicate that GDP has a significantly negative impact, while a square of GDP has a significantly positive impact on carbon dioxide emission. Therefore, our findings support the U-shaped Environmental Kuznets Curve. Also, energy consumption is having a significantly positive impact on carbon dioxide emissions. The results emphasize non-renewable sources of energy, low carbon emission technologies, and sustainable growth.
