Pedroni’s (1999) panel cointegration test discovered cointegrating relationship between the variables. To distinguish short- and long-term effect, as well as to account for homogeneity caused by previous common socio-political system and current country specific characteristics, Pesaran’s (1999) Pooled Mean Group estimator is employed. PMG estimates identified short- and long-term relationship between energy use and CO<sub>2</sub> emissions and short-term relationship between CO<sub>2 </sub>emissions and economic growth.  Finally, the Dumitrescu and Hurlin’s (2012) Granger non-causality test for heterogeneous panels revealed bidirectional causality between CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, energy use and economic growth. </p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, economic growth, energy consumption, post-communistic countries.</p><p><strong>JEL Classifications: </strong>C23, P18, O47</p><p>DOI: <a href="https://doi.org/10.32479/ijeep.9637">https://doi.org/10.32479/ijeep.9637</a></p>}, number={6}, journal={International Journal of Energy Economics and Policy}, author={Sadikov, Avazbek and Kasimova, Nargiza and Isaeva, Arletta and Khachaturov, Anastas and Salahodjaev, Raufhon}, year={2020}, month={Oct.}, pages={656–661} }
