Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between economic development and environmental sustainability (ES) of 42 Asian countries from 2000 to 2017. We propose an ordinary least square (OLS) and fully modified ordinary least square (FMOLS) model to estimate the result. The OLS estimators of the bala...
