ABSTRACT
The purpose of the study is to examine the relationship between
CO2 on quality of life and on economic growth in Asean 8.
Pollution may directly decrease output and quality of life by
decreasing productivity of man-made capital and labor. The
income levels per capita gross domestic product per capita were
measured from the year 1965 to 2010. This study formulates a
three equation simultaneous model for empirical research. For
panel data, the Hausman speciルcation test is the classical test of
whether the ルxed or random effects model should be used. In the
pollution indicator emissions CO2 in Asean 8, the Environmental
Kuznets Curve relationship is found.
