Does energy productivity lead to economic efficiency and lower CO‚‚ emission in Malaysia evidence from bootstrapped ARDL approach

The global demand for energy has been increasing tremendously because energy is critical for economic growth. Malaysia has a huge dependance on traditional energy sources which are finite and emit the bulk of greenhouse gasses. It is crucial to produce energy efficiently without compromising economic growth or the ecosystem. This study employed the bootstrap autoregressive distributed lag model (BARDL) to examine the cointegration of economic efficiency energy productivity and carbon emissions in Malaysia. It is found that energy productivity intensifies economic efficiency but degrades the environment by emitting CO‚‚ in the short and long run. Even though energy productivity enhances economic efficiency it does not play any role in mitigating CO‚‚emissions. Therefore Malaysia needs to shift to energy-efficient resources to combat emissions. Consequently renewable energy should be considered for sustainable economic growth and to resolve environmental problems.

Abstract

The global demand for energy has been increasing tremendously because energy is critical for economic growth. Malaysia has a huge dependance on traditional energy sources which are finite and emit the bulk of greenhouse gasses. It is crucial to produce energy efficiently without compromising economic growth or the ecosystem. This study employed the bootstrap autoregressive distributed lag model (BARDL) to examine the cointegration of economic efficiency energy productivity and carbon emissions in Malaysia. It is found that energy productivity intensifies economic efficiency but degrades the environment by emitting CO‚‚ in the short and long run. Even though energy productivity enhances economic efficiency it does not play any role in mitigating CO‚‚emissions. Therefore Malaysia needs to shift to energy-efficient resources to combat emissions. Consequently renewable energy should be considered for sustainable economic growth and to resolve environmental problems.
