Abstract

The objective of this article is therefore to analyze the link between economic growth and environmental degradation in the case of 14 countries of sub-Saharan Africa. From WDI data over the period from 1970 to 2018, we estimated the Environmental Kuznets curve (CKE) in panel by the within estimator, based on the one-way fixed effect method. The results indicate that the CKE is not validated, but that there is a linear and positive relationship between economic growth and pollution.As a measure of robustness, we proceed to another estimation of our model using the Two-Way fixed effects method. The results confirm once again the non-validation of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) for our panel, and confirm the existence of a linear and positive relationshipbetween economic growth and pollution.We have announced to these countries to set up public policies aimed at industrialization and environmental protection.
