Abstract:

Carbon dioxide emissions contribute to environmental deterioration, so this factor is cause for concern. This study aims to determine how economic growth, industrial value added, and population affect carbon dioxide emissions in the ASEAN region. This study's sample consists of the five ASEAN nations with the highest carbon emission growth rates. Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei Darussalam, and Vietnam were selected as sample countries for the period 2000 to 2018. The research data consists of panel data, which is a combination of time series and cross-section data, and is analyzed using static panel regression analysis via the Stata program, which passed the model selection tests, namely the Hausman test and the Lagrange-Multiplier (LM) test. In this study, the Random Effect Model was found to be the most appropriate model (REM). The findings of the study indicate that economic and population growth influence the increase in carbon emissions. This study was unable to demonstrate the effect of value added to industry on carbon dioxide emissions.
