Abstract
Context and Purpose :The development of industrial production processes requires energy, and the use of energy causes carbon emissions. On the other hand, today, due to the development of industrial societies, knowing the environmental consequences of industrial agglomeration is one of the challenges facing most countries. The main goal of this research is to evaluate the effect of industrial agglomeration on carbon dioxide emissions in a panel of Asian countries during the period 1990–2022.
Methodology: Therefore, first the industrial agglomeration has been calculated based on the location entropy index and then the effect of industrial agglomeration on CO2 emissions per capita has been investigated with the quantile panel approach.
Findings: The results are classified into three groups: low, medium, and high quantiles. In addition, in this study, the Driscoll-Cray fixed effects approach has been used to strengthen the results. The results indicate that increasing industrial agglomeration increases carbon emissions in Asian countries. The results of further analysis in the group of major Asian oil countries also show that there is a positive and significant relationship between industrial density and carbon dioxide emissions in high quantiles. The results of Dumitrescu and Hurlin's panel causality test show a two-way relationship between industrial density and CO2 emissions.
Conclusion :In this study, the variables of industrial production, globalization, urbanization, and economic complexity are considered control variables.
