Penelitian ini bertujuan mengeksplorasi hubungan antara pertumbuhan ekonomi, FDI, intensitas perdagangan, penggunaan energi, dan degradasi lingkungan yang diukur dengan emisi karbon dioksida (CO2) dalam kerangka hipotesis Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC). Penelitian fokus pada tujuh negara ASEAN (Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Filipina, Singapura, Thailand, dan Vietnam) selama 1980-2008. Pengujian dengan model Fixed Effect mampu mendeteksi adanya hubungan inverted-U antara pendapatan per kapita dengan emisi CO2, serta pengaruh positif FDI dan penggunaan energi terhadap emisi CO2. Meski demikian, penelitian ini tidak menemukan bukti bahwa intensitas perdagangan berpengaruh terhadap emisi CO2.
This study aims to explore the relationship between economic growth, trade intensity, FDI, energy use, and environmental degradation—as measured by carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions within the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis (EKC) framework. This research focuses on seven ASEAN countries (Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Viet Nam) during the 1980-2008. Estimation with Fixed Effect Model is capable of detecting the presence of inverted-U relationship between per capita income with CO2 emissions, as well as the positive effects of FDI and the energy use against CO2 emissions. However, this study did not find any evidence that the intensity of trade affect CO2 emissions.
Kata Kunci : Environmental Kuznets Curve, Sustainable Development, CO2 Emissions, Pembangunan berkelanjutan, emisi CO2.
