This study aimed at examining the relation between economic growth and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in North African countries in the period 2000-2018. To prove this, the author applied the OLS method of the two variables describing the Environmental Kuznets Curve: GDP per capita and CO2. The results show that GDP per capita reflects the influence of changes in the level of income on environmental pollution in five of the seven countries surveyed.(original abstract)

Celem pracy było zbadanie związku między wzrostem gospodarczym a emisją dwutlenku węgla (CO2) w krajach Afryki Północnej w latach 2000-2018. Aby to udowodnić, autor zastosował metodę OLS dwóch zmiennych opisujących środowiskową krzywą Kuznetsa: PKB per capita i CO2. Wyniki pokazują, że PKB per capita odzwierciedla wpływ zmian poziomu dochodów na zanieczyszczenie środowiska w pięciu z siedmiu badanych krajów.(abstrakt oryginalny)
