Model (A) allows for a change in he inercep of he series, Model (B) allows for a change in he rend of a series, while Model (C) allows changes in boh inercep and rend. Afer esing he uni roo problem in he ime-series variables, he coinegraion es can be used o find he long-run relaionship among he variables. Long-run relaionship saes he long-run equilibrium among variables, which may have he shock of disequilibrium in he shor-run from long-run, bu i will move again in long-run equilibrium Harris and Sollis [4]. Auo-Regressive Disribuive Lag (ARDL) bound esing echnique has been developed by Pesaran e al. [5]. ARDL can be applied if variables have mixed order of inegraion i.e. I() and I(). his approach akes he opimum lag lengh for each variable separaely in he model which helps in he daa generaing process from a general o a specific model. he problems resuling from non-saionariy of daa can also be avoided by using an ARDL approach Laurenceson and Chai [6]. he sudy uses he SBC o find he maximum relevan lag lengh. o find he coinegraion amongs variables of model (), ARDL model is as following: COG = + COG + FDIG + PD + 3 p q MVAG + COG + FDIG + 4 i i i i i= i= r s PD + MVAG + D + 3i i 4i i COG i= i= (7) In equaion (7), firs difference of COG is he dependen variable, he null hypohesis is (H : o= o= o3= o4= ) and alernae hypohesis is ( o o o3 4 ) which shows exisence of long run relaionship in he model, o is a consan and o is error erm. D COG is included in equaion for possible srucural break and o complee informaion in he model. his is also shown as F COG(COG /FDIG,PD,MVAG ). If coinegraion exiss in he model hen long run and shor run coefficiens will be calculaed. Error correcion erm can be used o find he shor-run relaionship in he model. Error correcion model is as follows: p q r COG = + COG + FDIG + PD i i i i 3i i i= i= i= s + MVAHG + D + EC + 4i i COG i= (8) is showing he speed of adjusmen from shor run disequilibrium o long run equilibrium. Aferwards, diagnosic ess are used o check he normaliy, funcional form, heeroscedasiciy and serial correlaion in he model. CUSUM and CUSUMsq saisics are used o ensure he sabiliy of parameers. Daa Source: Daa on carbon dioxide emissions, manufacuring value added, foreign direc invesmen and populaion densiy is aken from World Bank [7] for he years 97 o 5. his sudy used EViews (Version 7) for daa analysis.

Opimum lag lengh is for dcog, for dfdig, for dpd and for dmvag. he sudy selecs he year 979 for break period and pus from 97 o 979 and aferward in D COG. he calculaed F-saisic for seleced ARDL model is given in able (4) Fig. (a): CUSUM es C U S U M 5 % S i g n i fi c a n c e Fig. (b): CUSUMsq es C U S U M o f S q u a r e s 5 % S i g n i f i c a n c e able 4 shows ha F-saisic is.54.

FDI, populaion densiy and manufacuring value added significanly conribued o carbon dioxide emissions. Inercep (C) is posiive and significan. Coefficien of D is posiive and significan a % level of significance. COG So, inercep has changed afer he year 979. able 6 shows ha coefficiens of all differenced variables a specified lags are saisically significan excep dfdig. he coefficien of EC is negaive and - saisically insignifican. So, here is no evidence for shor run relaionships amongs he variables in he model. Resuls of able (7) show ha P-values of serial correlaion, funcional form, normaliy and heeroscedasiciy are greaer han. so here are no problem of serial correlaion, funcional form, normaliy and heeroscedasiciy. Figure (a) and (b) show ha CUSUM and CUSUMsq did no exceed he criical boundaries a 5% level of significance. his means he model of environmen is correcly specified and long run coefficiens of regressors are reliable. CONCLUSIONS o check he impac of foreign direc invesmen on carbon dioxide emissions, his sudy used FDI and manufacuring value added as percenage of GDP and populaion densiy as independen variables and carbon dioxide emissions as dependen variable. he sudy used ARDL coinegraion echnique and is error correcion model o check he long run and shor run relaionships. he long run relaionship exiss in environmen model and shor run relaionship does no exis in he model. FDI, populaion densiy and manufacuring value added have he posiive impac on carbon dioxide emissions. Resuls give evidence ha all variables in he environmen model conribue o he polluion in Pakisan. 36
