文摘

We investigate the dynamic relationships among tourism, economic growth and CO2 emissions. A panel data of Eastern and Western European Union countries are examined. We establish long-run equilibrium relationship among economic growth, CO2 emissions, tourism, FDI and trade. Results from long-run elasticities suggest that tourism stimulates economic growth in Eastern and Western EU countries. Tourism increases CO2 emissions in Eastern EU but decreases in Western EU.
