Abstract

The main objective of this research paper is to analyze the electricity generation and environmental degradation in Pakistan. In this study we have used secondary data for the period from 1971 to 2018. The dependent variable was Environmental degradation (Co2) and independent variables were: Electricity generation (EG), Electricity generation from oil (EO), Electricity generation from natural gas (ENG), Electricity from nuclear (ENU). The analytical techniques used in this study were: ADF Unit Root test, Correlation analysis, ARDL model, Bound test, ECM and Granger causality test for analysis of data. The findings of this study show that there is a positive relationship between environmental degradation and Electricity generation (EG) from fossil fuel, natural gas and nuclear sources.
