Carbon emissions and the rising effect of trade openness and foreign direct investment: Evidence from a threshold regression model.

The relationship between carbon emissions, foreign trade openness, and FDI has been studied in prior studies. The previous studies, however, did not examine the link by focusing on carbon emissions in India's industrial sectors. Using carbon emission intensity as a threshold variable and a threshold regression model, we add to the existing studies by assessing the influence of India's industrial sector on carbon emissions.
