@article{Bakhtyar_2017, title={Universal Financial Crisis and Association of Southeast Asian Nations CO2 Emission}, volume={7}, url={https://www.econjournals.com/index.php/ijeep/article/view/4889}, abstractNote={<p>The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) includes 10 nations in Southeast Asia. Its population is approximately 600 million people with combined nominal GDP had grown to more than US$ 2.3 trillion, almost equal to the eighth largest economy in the world. Many strong economies worldwide suffered from the global financial crisis (GFC) in 2008 which resulted dipping in global CO<sub>2</sub> emission. This study surveyed the consumption trend of petrol, coal, and natural gas as main carbon emissions in all 10 countries from 2002 to 2012. Economic growth and its effect on CO<sub>2</sub> emission were illustrated. Although the effect of global financial economy varies in the different selected economies, the trend of CO<sub>2</sub> emission was not dependent on gross domestic production (GDP) changes. In contrast to global emission, the 2008 GFC and the decrease in GDP did not result in the reduction of CO<sub>2</sub> emission among ASEAN members.</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> CO<sub>2</sub> emission, Major Asian Countries (MAC), Gross Domestic Production (GDP), Global Financial Crisis (GFC)</p><p><strong>JEL Classifications: </strong>F64, G01, Q4<strong></strong></p>}, number={5}, journal={International Journal of Energy Economics and Policy}, author={Bakhtyar, B.}, year={2017}, month={Nov.}, pages={137–141} }
