The Nexus Between Environmental Pollution, Energy Use and Economic Growth of EAGLEs: A Panel Econometric Analysis
Abstract
The industrial revolution has resulted in faster economic growth, but it has also resulted in environmental degradation, which means that economic growth has polluted the environment. The primary focus of this research is to measure the affiliation with environment, energy and economy in Emerging and Growth-leading Economies. The results found that there is a direct relationship among energy and economy, as well as between energy use and environmental pollution. As a result, even though the countries require economic growth, these emerging and growth-leading economies must take precautionary measures to control their environmental pollution.
