Abstract

As capital markets develop, the issue of whether this development improves the environmental quality rises very rapidly. Although not very documented, the literature has reached a consensus on the positive role of stock market development on carbon emissions in developing countries. Previous studies, however, do not include great number of countries to reach a broad consensus and assume that the effect does not change over time. Given these motivations, this study examines the impact of stock market development on carbon emissions in a panel of 60 developing countries over the period 1990–2014. Findings reveal that stock market development decreases environmental degradation in the short-run, whereas further development leads to environmental degradation in the long-run. Policy implications depending on these results are also discussed.
