This study examined an econometric analysis of the macroeconomic determinants of carbon
dioxide (CO 2) emission in Nigeria, covering the periods between 1981 and 2016,
employing both linear and non-linear Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL & NARDL)
models. The time series data used were sourced from the database of the World Bank
Development Indicators, 2016 and Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin, 2017 edition.
The main macroeconomic variables driving CO 2 emissions in Nigeria were considered. The …

" Global concern for climate change as a result of incessant environmental damaging
impacts of greenhouse gas emission is still surging high. Many researchers have examined
the linear relationship of carbon emission with economic growth for decades now, yet, little
or no studies critically examined the macroeconomic determinants of carbon dioxide
emissions. Thus, this study focused on an econometric analysis of the macroeconomic
determinants of CO2 emission in Nigeria, covering the periods between 1981 and 2016 …
