The environmental stress due to massive CO emissions is a critical issue for scholars and policymakers. Many studies have discussed various determinants of environmental pollution both from theoretical and empirical perspectives. However, how governance influences the nexus between economic growth and CO emissions is rarely studied. Hence this study investigates the relationship between economic growth, governance and CO emissions within the framework of the Environmental Kuznets Curve for five high CO emission countries over 1996-2017. Empirical results from the panel data estimation methods reflect that measures of governance influence emission levels differently in high CO emission countries. Overall, political, economic and institutional governance enhance environmental quality. According to the results, provision of good governance needs to exercise effective measures to enhance and protect environmental quality.
由于大规模 CO 排放造成的环境压力是学者和政策制定者面临的一个关键问题。许多研究从理论和实证角度讨论了环境污染的各种决定因素。然而，治理如何影响经济增长和 CO 排放之间的关系却很少被研究。因此，本研究在环境库兹涅茨曲线框架内，调查了 1996-2017 年间五个高 CO 排放国家的经济增长、治理与 CO 排放之间的关系。面板数据估计方法的实证结果表明，治理措施对高 CO 排放国家的排放水平有不同的影响。总的来说，政治、经济和制度治理都能提高环境质量。根据研究结果，提供良好的治理需要采取有效措施来加强和保护环境质量。
