Abstract
This research tested the EKC (Environment Kuznets Curve) Hypothesis using the CO2 Emissions by region and GRDP. We built the panel data set on the 15 local government region from 1990 to 2010 for this analysis. GRDP, population and total factor productivity was considered as the factors influencing on the regional CO2 Emissions. Analysis method in this research is panel GLS model as Lantz and Feng (2006). The results show that the EKC hypothesis did not hold in Korea but there is inverted U relationship between the CO2 Emissions and total factor productivity. As the total factor productivity grows, the CO2 increased but decreased after a certain level.
