Abstract
Environmental pollution poses a serious challenge to human societies, as it significantly threatens the safety of human life. Industrialization and foreign direct investment are fundamental drivers of sustainable economic development. Additionally, education plays a crucial role in enhancing human capital and improving environmental quality.
This study employs the Blanchard-Quah technique to examine the effects of temporary and permanent shocks from foreign direct investment, industrialization, and education on carbon dioxide emissions in Iran between 1366 and 1399. The findings reveal that, in the short term, increases in foreign investment, industrialization, and education levels are associated with higher carbon dioxide emissions. This increase is primarily due to heightened energy production and consumption during this period.
However, in the long term, no significant relationship is found between these factors and carbon dioxide emissions. This suggests that self-regulating economic and environmental mechanisms have mitigated the initial negative impacts over time. Consequently, while foreign direct investment, industrialization, and education may contribute to increased pollution in the short term, they do not have a lasting effect on environmental pollution in Iran.
