دراسة قياسية لأثر استهلاك الطاقة الكهربائية على انبعاثات ثاني أكسيد الكربون باستخدام نماذج ARDL

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of electricity consumption on carbon dioxide emissions in Algeria during the period 1994-2024, using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model. To achieve this objective, several variables were employed, namely electricity consumption, real gross domestic product (GDP), trade openness, and population density. The results confirmed the existence of a long-run equilibrium relationship between carbon dioxide emissions and the aforementioned variables. The results also showed that electricity consumption has a significant positive effect on carbon dioxide emissions in the short run, while real GDP has a significant negative effect in the long run. Trade openness and population density, however, showed no significant effect on carbon dioxide emissions in the long run.
