Abstract

This paper investigates the relationship between ambient air pollution levels and economic growth in Canada. Panel data of six different air pollutant emissions across 11 districts in Canada from 1979 to 2019 are collected and appropriately modified. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita is used as the main economic growth indicator. Other relevant independent variables are also incorporated to better explain the variance of the ambient air pollution level. Linear regressions are conducted using different models. According to the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis, there is an inverted U-shaped relationship between pollution and economic growth. In this study, NO_X, NO, NO₂ and CO are found to be following the environmental Kuznets curve in Canada. However, SO₂ and O₃ show a U-shaped relationship with GDP growth in Canada.
