Emission Study and Pollution Haven Hypothesis in Economic Development of Developed Country

Abstract

This study aims to study at the emission level of CO2 in the group numbers of developed countries and attempt to look at the pollution haven hypothesis, whether it is happen in the group of developed countries. By using panel data analysis in this study, it finds that the significant variable inflluenced CO2 in developed countries are GDP, FDI and Population. In this research, FDI has a negative effect in emission level of CO2 and GDP and Population have the positive one. From this study, it founds that in the developed countries that has been studied has proven that there is no pollution haven hypothesis. This is supported by the finding of a negative relationship between FDI and CO2 emissions, and this relationship is at a significant level. Econometrically, this research model is considered good with the R-squared value level is 0,998.
