life expectancy, Urbanization, carbon dioxide, Granger causality testAbstract
The paper has investigated the impact of urbanization, carbon dioxide, and economic growth on life expectancy for Bangladesh from 1972 to 2014. Using time series unit root test we find that all variables are stationary at order of integration one. The Granger causality test supports that there is a bidirectional relationship between urbanization, carbon dioxide, and life expectancy, while economic growth has no causal association with life expectancy for Bangladesh.
