Description
Summary:The relationship among Nigeria’s CO2 emissions, foreign direct investment inflows, and economic growth was examined in this study. The data period examined is from 1990 to 2020. The data is obtained from the World Bank’s online database and adopted the VECM-based Granger causality technique. Results showed a feedback relationship between FDI inflows and CO2 emissions as well as a unidirectional causal relationship from economic growth to CO2 emissions. The information offered by these empirical studies will help policymakers develop effective economic policies.
