Unequal Energy Footprints: Trade-Driven Asymmetries in Consumption-Based Carbon Emissions of the U.S. and China by Muhammad Yousaf Malik, Hassan Daud Butt

“…The analysis uses autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) and non-linear ARDL (NARDL) methodologies to capture short- and long-run trade emissions dynamics, with economic growth, oil prices, financial development and industry value addition as control variables. The findings reveal that exports reduce CBEs, while imports increase them, across both economies in the long and short run. …”
