Implication

Randomized trial explores the impact of natural resource rents and renewable energy on carbon emissions in ASEAN economies, highlighting policy implications.

Key Points

This research examines how economic growth, resource rents, renewable energy use, and trade affect carbon emissions in ASEAN countries.
Analyzed annual panel data from 1995 to 2023 for Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.
Employed the Environmental Kuznets Curve framework to investigate the relationship between economic indicators and CO2 emissions.
Utilized cross-sectional dependence tests, Pesaran CIPS unit root tests, and CS-ARDL estimation methods.
Found that GDP per capita positively affects CO2 emissions whereas GDP² has a negative effect, supporting the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis.
Confirmed that total natural resource rents contribute to increased CO2 emissions, indicating resource dependence causes environmental stress.
Showed that renewable energy consumption significantly reduces CO2 emissions in both the short and long run, while trade openness had an insignificant impact.
