The aim of this paper is to assess the impact of globalization index on CO2 emissions in the CEE countries that joined the EU in the period 2005-2021. The results based on a panel data approach with DOLS\/FMOLS estimators confirm the hypothesis that globalization enhances pollution in this region, but a non-linear relationship was validated between CO2 emissions and globalization index. After reaching a maximum level, the CO2 emissions begin to decrease, while globalization enhances. On the other hand, economic freedom and electricity prices in household consumers had a positive impact on pollution. Renewable energy consumption has the capacity to reduce pollution, while higher electricity prices for non-household users discourage economic activities, which contribute to environmental protection. These empirical findings could support policy proposals to reduce pollution in this region.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keywords: <\/strong>pollution, CO2 emissions, globalization, electricity price, economic freedom<\/p>\n<p><strong>JEL Classification:<\/strong>C53, Q52, Q53<\/p>\n<p><strong>DOI:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.61225\/rjrs.2023.03\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.61225\/rjrs.2023.03<\/a> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rjrs.ase.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/V171\/V1713.Simionescu.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Download full article from here:<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title:\u00a0Globalization and pollution in central and eastern European EU countries Author &amp; affiliation: Mihaela Simionescu,\u00a0University of Bucharest and Institute of Economic Forecasting, Romanian Academy,\u00a0Romania Abstract Pollution and globalization are current&nbsp;[ &hellip; ]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":965,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-899","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","list-style-post"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rjrs.ase.ro\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/899","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rjrs.ase.ro\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rjrs.ase.ro\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rjrs.ase.ro\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rjrs.ase.ro\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=899"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.rjrs.ase.ro\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/899\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1147,"href":"https:\/\/www.rjrs.ase.ro\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/899\/revisions\/1147"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rjrs.ase.ro\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/965"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rjrs.ase.ro\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=899"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
