Introduction
• Number of empirical studies are available on the nexus between energy consumption,
economic growth and environmental quality (e.g., Ajmi et al., 2015; Heidari et al. 2015;
Arvin et al., 2015; Nasreen et al., 2017; Saidi et al. 2018; Nasreen et al., 2018).
• There are only a few studies in the case of Asian countries (Timilsina and Shrestha 2009;
Chandran and Tang, 2013; Mustapa and Bekhet, 2015) that examine a link between
transport energy and environmental quality.
• Our study is an attempt to fill the gap in energy-environment literature by examining the
causal link between transport energy consumption, environmental quality and income
growth in the case of Asian countries.
• We use latest panel data methodology that efficiently address the issue of heterogeneity
and cross-country correlation.
