Abstract
- Considering quite high levels of pollution in V4 countries, the aim of this paper is to assess if renewable energy consumption reduces CO<subscript>2</subscript> emissions in the period 1996–2022. The time series approach based on autoregressive distributed lag models (ARDL models) for each state in the sample indicated that renewable energy consumption reduced CO<subscript>2</subscript> emissions, while GDP enhanced pollution. Foreign direct investment had no effect on environmental quality. Political stability had no impact on pollution in Poland and Hungary, while it reduced CO<subscript>2</subscript> emissions in the Czech Republic and enhanced them in Slovakia. The results are subject to policy proposals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
