Environmental degradation is a crucial issue, and economic parameters, such as productive economic structures, have an impact on it. This study examines the relationship between CO2 emissions, economic growth, and PCI, and finds that improving productive capacity reduces environmental degradation.
Environmental degradation is one of the most important and vital issues of today. In this context, many researchers are testing the environmental impact of different indicators. Many economic parameters affect environmental degradation. At the forefront of these parameters is the productive economic structures of the countries. For the first time in the literature, the present paper discusses the dynamic relationship between carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, economic growth, and the productive capacity index (PCI) for a panel of 38 organization for economic co-operation and development (OECD) countries spanning the period 2000-2018. In this context, the PCI serves as a measure of the productive economic structure of a country. This empirical study applies panel cointegration techniques to reveal that the series are cointegrated in the long-run. In addition, the pooled mean group-panel autoregressive distributive lag (PMG-ARDL) approach is employed to estimate long-run coefficients. These coefficients confirm the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis. Finally, the empirical findings confirm that improved productive capacity decreases environmental degradation. This results in important policy recommendations for involved governmental and private stakeholders.
