Description: Of recent carbon emissions have become an increasing concern for economies worldwide. The study investigates the relationship between carbon emissions and economic growth for the BICS (Brazil, India, China and South Africa), one of the largest emitters of carbon dioxide worldwide. ARDL methodology is employed which is applied to annual data covering a period of 1970 to 2017. The empirical results indicate there is a long run negative relationship between carbon emissions and economic growth. Overall results thus encourage policymakers to continue to embark on energy efficiency programmes which specifically target lower levels of carbon pollution.
