Abstract
This study explores the effects of education and export diversification on carbon emissions in India and China covering the annual data from 1971 to 2017. While modelling the education and export with emissions, we included two additional variables, namely energy consumption and economic growth, in the model. In order to take care of single structural break in the data series, we employed the unit root test of Kim and Perron (2009). Further, to estimate the model, we applied the recently developed bootstrapping autoregressive-distributed lag (B-ARDL) approach of McNown et al. (2018). The empirical analysis depicts that the variables are moving together in the long run. Economic growth increases and then decreases carbon emissions in both China and India. In China, education is positively linked with environmental quality, but in India it aggravates environmental deterioration. Energy consumption showed a directly significant impact on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions for both economies. Our findings validate the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) in context of both China and India. The association between education and carbon emissions is an inverted U shape in China. Moreover, the inverted U-shaped association between exports diversification and carbon emissions is also validated for the Indian economy, but it is U-shaped for the Chinese economy.
