Abstract

In this study, we aim to analyze the EKC hypothesis and the relationships between CO2, GDP, square of GDP and ENE by the ARDL model and nonlinear ARDL model. According to the EKC hypothesis, CO 2 levels initially increase as the country's GDP grows. After a certain level of GDP is achieved, CO 2 levels start to decline. There is a scarcity for single country studies in the literature of EKC for Australia. Additionally, the study is important since Australia is heavily dependent
