Is export quality a viable option for sustainable development paths of Asian countries?Manga, MugeCengiz, OrhanDestek, Mehmet AkifCO₂ emissionsEKC hypothesisEmerging Asian countriesEnvironmental degradationExport qualityCarbon DioxideChinaEconomic DevelopmentPhilippinesSustainable DevelopmentThailandIndiaIndonesiacarbon emissioneconomic growthempirical analysisenergy useexport led developmentGross Domestic ProductKuznets curveThis paper investigates the role of export quality in climate action goal of the sustainable development goals in emerging Asian countries. For this purpose, the empirical model that observes the impact of real GDP, energy use and export quality index on carbon emissions is constructed and is analyzed by ARDL bounds testing approach for the period from 1970 to 2014. We also include the square of real GDP as independent variable to observe the existence of environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis which implies the parabolic relationship between economic growth and environmental degradation. The findings show that increase in export quality leads to a fall in CO2 emissions for China and India. In contrast, the effect of increasing export quality increases CO2 emissions in Thailand and the Philippines. Lastly, our asymmetric causality results show that the positive shocks of export quality causes positive shocks of CO2 emissions in Thailand and Indonesia. Furthermore, we found that positive export quality shocks cause negative CO2 emissions shocks in India while negative export quality shocks cause positive CO2 emissions shocks in China. We also confirm the inverted U-shaped EKC hypothesis in China and Thailand. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH2023Articlehttps://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/ebyu/12454https://doi.org/10.1007/s11356-023-25784-10944-1344enEnvironmental Science and Pollution Researchinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://ebyu-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/ebyu/12454
