Abstract

The rule of law (ROL) and control of corruption (COC) would play an effective role in managing CO₂ emissions in Pakistan. The present research has explored this issue in Pakistan controlling economic growth during 1996-2019. Further, the unit root and cointegration tests are used. We found the long and short-run relationships in the model. Economic growth has a positive effect on CO₂ emissions. The ROL could not impact in the long run and negatively impacts in the short run. Hence, improving law and order conditions would reduce CO₂ emissions in the short run, and further improvements in the ROL could have pleasant long-run environmental effects. The COC has a positive impact on CO₂ emissions in the long run. However, the short-run effects of COC with first and second lags are found negative.
