Article Description

We explore the joint impact of growth and urbanization on CO2 and N2O emissions in emerging and developing economies from 1998 to 2019. For the analysis, we employ semiparametric and panel threshold models to evaluate the threshold influence of growth on emissions under different levels of urbanization. Our results reveal an M-shaped relationship for urbanization and CO2 emissions and a linear trend for N2O emissions. Furthermore, the effect of growth on emissions decreases after the highest threshold value of urbanization, but only for CO2 emissions. Overall, sustained urbanization rates correlate with reductions in CO2 emissions, but not in N2O emissions.
