Abstract

Investigating the drivers of CO2 emissions is essential for limiting global warming, which has sparked widespread concern. This study evaluates the association between economic complexity and CO2 emissions in China, considering the effect of disintegrated energy and financial globalization on the environmental function between 1970 and 2018. This dataset was analyzed using the autoregressive lag model (ARDL) and frequency-domain causality approaches. The ARDL unveiled that urbanization, economic complexity, financial globalization, and economic growth deteriorate the environment while environmental sustainability is achieved through renewable energy utilization. The study also validates the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis. Also, the frequency-domain causality disclosed that all regressors (economic growth, financial globalization, economic complexity, and urbanization) could forecast CO2 emissions in China at different frequencies. Based on these outcomes, policy recommendations are formulated.
