Determinants of CO2 Emission: Evidence from United States

Indanazulfa Qurrota A'yun, Devi Anggrayni

Abstract


The decline in environmental quality can be marked by an increase in the earth's temperature or what we call global warming. Global warming can be caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on earth, one of the most important components of which is CO2 emissions. This study aims to determine the effect of economic growth, energy consumption, forest area and urbanization on CO2 emissions in United States in the period 1970-2020. This study uses a Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) analysis model. The results of the study indicate that economic growth, energy consumption, and foreign direct investment have a significant effect on CO2 emissions in the long term.


Keywords
