Abstract

The objective of this research is to examine the effect of trade and gross value added on CO2 emissions, in 97 countries we use panel data from the World Development Indicators of the World Bank in the period 1980-2016. In order to capture the heterogeneity between countries by income level, we classify countries into five groups: high income, medium-high income, medium-low income, low income and extremely low income. Using cointegration and causality techniques for panel data, we found robust empirical evidence that suggests that trade and gross value added and CO2 emissions have a long-termand short-termequilibriumrelationship in the different income groups.
