Summary/Abstract: In this study, we have examined impacts of energy consumption, real GDP and population on the pollution from the automobile transport in Azerbaijan case. We employed annual time series data for the 1990-2014 time span. First the data tested for stationarity and then we employed the Autoregressive Distributed Lags Bounds Testing approach to cointegration. Estimation results indicated that population has significant impacts on the transport emission in Azerbaijan; however impacts of energy consumption are not trivial. Real GDP has statistically insignificant but positive impact over emission. Findings of the study may be useful in making appropriate decisions in the fields of diminishing atmospheric pollution from automobile transport.
