Application of path analysis for causal modeling has been widely used in many areas of studies, such as in social science, education, biology, medical, sociology, and economics. In this study, path analysis is applied to test a relationship model among variables: Foreign direct investment (FDI), industry growth (IND), energy use (ENR), and carbon dioxide (CO2 ) emissions. Aims of this study are to know whether there exist direct effect of FDI to IND, direct effect of FDI and IND to ENR, and direct effect of IND and ENR to CO2 emissions. Results of analysis show that there is a direct effect of FDI to IND where the effect is determined as ; parameter estimate is significant and meaningfulness. | Nội dung Text Causal modeling of the effect of foreign direct investment industry growth and energy use to carbon dioxide emissions
