description | This study empirically analyses the long-term relationship between
agricultural production and carbon dioxide emissions in China by using
annual data covering 1971-2010. In estimating the relationship between
agriculture and CO2 emissions, the study also includes real income and
energy consumption as variables in the model, in line with the EKC
hypothesis. To identify the existence of a long-term relationship between
CO2 emissions and agriculture, the bounds test approach for cointegration
and autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) methods are used. To determine the
robustness of the results, other single-equation cointegration methods such
as FMOLS, DOLS, and CCR are also estimated. The results confirm
cointegration among variables and the presence of an inverse U-shaped
agriculture-induced EKC curve for China. Agriculture increases a country’s
long-term CO2 emissions. The government, policymakers, and agricultural
producers should set strategies covering energy-intensive economic
activities, including agriculture, to solve environmental problems. |
