한국의 CO2 배출, 경제성장 및 에너지믹스와의 관계 분석

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The relationship between environment and economic growth has been controversial for a long time. The cores of controversy are endogeneity problem and omitted variable bias. This paper tests EKC (Environmental Kuznets Curves) hypothesis by considering econometric issues and estimates the effects of energy mix on CO2 emissions empirically and tests with time series during 1981~2008. By the results of this analysis, we convince EKC Hypothesis which the relationship between CO2 emissions and economic growth is the inverted U-shaped and the national energy mix contributes significantly to GHG mitigation. We also find that the nuclear energy has the greatest contribution for CO2 mitigation and the renewable energy does not seem to contribute little to the CO2 mitigation because the proportion of renewable energy in Korea is negligible. In terms of final energy consumption, CO2 increases and transportation sector is statistically and significantly associated.
