The Mediterranean Zone in front of Air pollution: an Econometric Investigation

The cleanup of the Mediterranean region constitutes one of the main chapters carried by the cooperation between both north and south banks within the framework of the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM). The subject of this paper is to study the relationship between CO2 emissions and economic growth in UfM countries. This relationship is described by the so called Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) model. The choice of model specification and the omission of additional variables appear among the controversies revealed around the EKC modelling. At first, this paper aims to select a model among three proposed. Secondly, it examines the effect of trade and population density on CO2 emissions. Three main results are attributed by this work. First, while CO2 emissions are still in increase in the case of MEDA countries, they have known a reduction phase in the case of UE countries. Second, the shape of the EKC as well as the turning point value depends on the functional form choice. Finally, the creation of a free trade area between both Mediterranean banks does not seem to affect the environment quality.Union for the Mediterranean, CO2 emissions, Environmental Kuznets Curve, free trade, panel data, Nonnested Hypothesis Tests

La Zone Méditerranéenne Face à la Pollution de L’air : Une Investigation Econométrique

La dépollution de la Méditerranée constitue l’un des principaux chapitres portés par la coopération entre les deux rives nord et sud dans le cadre de l’Union Pour la Méditerranée (UPM). L’objectif de ce papier est d’examiner la relation existante entre l’évolution des émissions du dioxyde carbone (CO2) et la croissance économique dans les pays membres de l’UPM. Cette relation est décrite par la Courbe Environnementale de Kuznets (CEK) qui postule une relation en U inversé entre la dégradation de l’environnement et la croissance économique. Le choix de la spécification économétrique et le problème des variables omises figurent parmi les controverses révélées autour de la CEK. Dans un premier temps, ce papier vise à sélectionner un modèle parmi trois proposés. Dans un second temps, il examine l’effet de la densité de la population et du commerce international sur l’évolution des émissions de CO2. Trois résultats principaux sont attribués par ce travail. D’abord, les niveaux d’émissions de CO2 sont encore en augmentation dans le cas des pays MEDA alors qu’ils sont dans la phase de réduction dans le cas des pays UE. Ensuite, la forme de la CEK ainsi que la valeur du point de retournement dépendent du choix de la forme fonctionnelle. Enfin, la création d’une zone de libre-échange entre les deux rives méditerranéennes ne semble pas affecter la qualité de l’environnement.Union Pour la Méditerranée, Emissions de CO2, Courbe Environnementale de Kuznets, libre-échange, Données de panel, Tests d’hypothèse non emboîtée., Environmental Economics and Policy, Q56, C12, C23.,

Analisa Pengaruh Variasi Waktu Penyambungan Terhadap Kekuatan Tarik Dan Uji Liquid Penetrant Test Pada Aluminium 6061 Menggunakan Metode Friction Welding

Friction welding is one of the latest welding technologies where production costs are lower and the resulting connections are also of good quality. By combining heat and pressure, two metals that are the same or not the same can be connected. This research will analyze the effect of 60, 70, and 80 seconds splicing time variations on the strength of the tensile test and the liquid penetrant test on aluminum 6061. The results of the study show that there are differences in the shape and strength of the three time variations. Based on the highest voltage value of the three time variations there is a time variation of 80 seconds which is equal to 90.04 N / mm², while the lowest value of the three time variations there is a time variation of 60 seconds which is equal to 40.39 N / mm². While the highest strain value of the three time variations is in the 80 second time variation of 3.53%, while the lowest value of the three time variations is in the 60 second time variation of 2.36%. Based on the standardization of acceptance of the liquid penetrant test results at 80 seconds variation is still accepted, while 60 and 70 are rejected because it has exceeded the tolerance limit

Use renewables to be cleaner: Meta-analysis of the renewable energy consumption-economic growth nexus

The renewable energy consumption-economic growth nexus is a growing area of research over the last few years, emanating to mixed results. The aim of the current study is to quantitatively synthesise the empirical literature on the subject using the meta-analysis approach. In particular, a meta-multinomial regression is employed to investigate the sources of variation in the direction of causality between renewable energy consumption and economic growth. This causal relationship takes the form of four hypotheses, namely the conservation, growth, neutrality and feedback hypotheses. To the best of author’s knowledge, this study constitutes the first meta-analysis undertaken on the renewable energy consumption-economic growth nexus. The empirical results reveal that the variation in the supported hypotheses is due to a number of characteristics including model specification, data characteristics, estimation techniques (cointegration methods and causality tests), and development level of the country on which a study was conducted
