The current study has studied the threshold effects of energy consumption structure and GDP per capita variables on carbon emissions from 2002 to 2019 for 37 selected countries (with middle to high-income levels) using the non-linear approach of Panel Smooth Transition Regression Models. For this purpose, two separate models have been estimated by considering energy consumption structure transfer and GDP per capita variables. The results indicate a non-linear relationship between the studied variables in both models. The estimation results of both models show that GDP per capita (in the threshold state of energy consumption structure) and energy consumption structure (in the threshold state of GDP per capita) positively affect carbon emissions. Also, urbanization and trade openness have a positive effect on carbon emissions in both models. Thus, the results show that increasing efficiency in energy consumption and GDP per capita structure can significantly reduce carbon emissions. These findings point to the importance of optimizing energy policies and the crucial role of changes in the economic structure in managing greenhouse gas emissions..

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is one of the most important goals of the world’s energy and environmental policies. Even though fossil fuels are one of the most important factors in creating pollution, their role in the structure of production and economic growth cannot be ignored. Nowadays, to measure economic growth, economists do not consider only the amount of production of goods and services, but also consider the structure of production of goods and services in terms of technical knowledge (technology level) used in them. Accordingly, in recent decades, the index of economic complexity has been proposed, and by calculating it the possibility of knowing the development of countries’ levels is provided. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the economic complexity index on greenhouse gas emissions in some oil exporting countries in the period from 1995 to 2019 using the panel smooth transition regression (PSTR) model. The results of the linearity test confirm the existence of a nonlinear relationship between the considered variables. Also, considering a transfer function with a threshold parameter that expresses a two-regime model is sufficient to specify the nonlinear relationship between the model variables. The slope parameter (transition speed) equals 3/1964. The test results indicate that in both regimes (first and second), the economic complexity index has a negative effect on the amount of greenhouse gas emissions
