Abstract

This study aims to investigate the impact of CO2 emissions, domestic investment, and trade openness on economic growth in North African countries over the period 1998 to 2022. Utilizing a panel static gravity model, the results reveal that domestic investment exerts a negative influence on economic growth, while CO2 emissions and exports demonstrate a positive contribution. Furthermore, the analysis suggests that imports have an adverse, though statistically insignificant, effect on economic growth. The findings underscore the importance of fostering policies that promote exports and mitigate CO2 emissions, while carefully considering the potential negative implications of imports on the economic growth of North African countries.
