Abstract

The quest for environmental sustainability is crucial to every serious government, most especially the emerging economies where environmental degradation poses greater threat to the path of growth. Thus, this study set out to investigate the agriculture-led environmental Kuznets curve in Nigeria to ascertain its validity. Data is sourced from the world-bank data from 2081 to 2019 for the purpose of estimation. The econometric procedure begins with the stationarity test which indicates a mixed order of integration. This suggests the adoption of the ARDL approach as the best method of estimation for the model of the study. The result revealed a no evidence of agriculture-led environmental Kuznets curve in Nigeria. Further result indicates that FDI inflow into Nigeria is pure and does not cause any hurt to economic growth of Nigeria. Energy consumption is discovered to be the key promoter of carbon emission. Therefore, policy guide is provided for the policy makers for the need to expand the agriculture activities and to manage it more efficiently thereby generating higher output. Alternative energy sources such as renewable energy is recommended for the economy of Nigeria for purpose of averting pollution

农业主导的环境库兹涅茨曲线在尼日利亚新兴经济中存在吗?

对每一个严肃的政府来说，追求环境的可持续性都是至关重要的，尤其是对环境恶化对增长道路构成更大威胁的新兴经济体。因此，本研究着手调查尼日利亚农业主导的环境库兹涅茨曲线，以确定其有效性。数据来源于世界银行2081年至2019年的数据，用于估算。计量经济学程序从平稳性检验开始，平稳性检验表明了一个混合的整合顺序。这表明采用ARDL方法作为本研究模型的最佳估计方法。结果显示，在尼日利亚没有农业主导的环境库兹涅茨曲线的证据。进一步的结果表明，流入尼日利亚的FDI是纯粹的，不会对尼日利亚的经济增长造成任何伤害。研究发现，能源消耗是碳排放的主要促进因素。因此，为决策者提供了政策指南，说明需要扩大农业活动并更有效地进行管理，从而产生更高的产出。为了避免污染，建议尼日利亚经济采用可再生能源等替代能源
