The Impact of Economic Growth on Air Pollution in Uzbekistan: an Empirical Analysis

This article examines the relationship between economic growth and air pollution in Uzbekistan, which has achieved rapid economic development in recent years. Using data from 2000 to 2020, we used econometric methods to examine the impact of economic growth on air pollution. Our results show that economic growth has a positive and significant effect on air pollution in Uzbekistan, suggesting the existence of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis. However, the relationship between economic growth and air pollution is not linear, and the tipping point at which economic growth begins to reduce air pollution is not yet clear in Uzbekistan. Our findings have important policy implications for the sustainable development of Uzbekistan's economy and the reduction of air pollution.
