Özet
In this modern era, environmental pollution is the biggest problem attached to industrialization. This study tries to ensure the
relationship between industrialization and CO2 emissions in Pakistan for the time period 1980–2018 by using nonlinear ARDL
model while controlling for urbanization, GDP, and human capital variables as a likely factor of CO2 emissions. Our foremost
study objective is to examine whether or not the outcome of industrialization on CO2 emissions is symmetric or asymmetric for
Pakistan that is one of the core suppliers to CO2 in South Asia, as the emissions were 0.82 million tons in 2018. Our result
approves the presence of an asymmetric effect of industrialization shocks on CO2 emissions both in the short run and long run.
The results reveal that industrialization increases emissions and deindustrialization decrease emissions, in short as well as long
run, in Pakistan. Moreover, our finding also advises that urbanization and GDP variables have exerted a positive impact on CO2
emissions. Based on the findings, some policy suggestions are proposed for Pakistan.
