| Summary: | The paper attempts to explore the contribution of
economic development, population size or population density as
well as the landlocked characteristic of the countries on the
environmental performance using cross-sectional data of
countries in the world listed by the United Nation (UN). The
methods adopted in the present study are Ordinary Least
Square (OLS) method and Generalized Method of Moments
(GMM). Overall, using Environmental Performance Indicator
(EPI) 2010 as a measurement of the effectiveness of national
environmental protection effort, the present study finds that
economic development/performance positively contributes to
the countries’ environmental performance. On the other hand,
population size gives negative impact on the environmental
performance of the countries. |
