Nexus of Exports and Economic Growth on the Carbon Emissions in Thailand

English

Abstract

This research objective is to determine how Thailand's carbon emissions are impacted by exports
and economic growth. We use the World Bank as a complementary source of statistical data,
namely data from 2000 to 2020, the variables we use are carbon emissions, economic growth, and
export. We found that the economic growth variable has a beneficial positive effect on carbon
emissions. This means that the higher the level of economic growth of a country, the higher the
amount of carbon emissions produced. The export factor has a negative influence on carbon
emissions. This means that the more countries export goods and services, the lower the amount of
carbon emissions released into the atmosphere. The previous year's carbon emission variable also
has a beneficial positive effect on current carbon emissions, meaning that high energy consumption
in the previous year will increase carbon emissions in the following year.
