Abstract

Based on the panel data of 16 European countries from 2000 to 2016, I provide the empirical study quantifying the impact of female labor force participation on carbon emissions. In the design of my empirical research, I adopt the fixed effect model and use FGLS estimation. The results show that the increase of female labor force participation rate would significantly reduce carbon emissions. 1 unit increase of the ratio of female to male labor participation rates is associated with 0.30 percentage decrease of the CO2 emission per capita.
