Abstract: This paper investigates the empirical relationship between carbon dioxide emissions, economic growth and energy use in post-communistic countries during 1990-2018. Pedroni s (1999) panel cointegration test discovered cointegrating relationship between the variables. To distinguish short- and long-term effect, as well as to account for homogeneity caused by previous common socio-political system and current country specific characteristics, Pesaran s et al. (1999) Pooled Mean Group estimator is employed. PMG estimates identified short- and long-term relationship between energy use and CO2 emissions and short-term relationship between CO2 emissions and economic growth. Finally, the Dumitrescu and Hurlin s (2012) Granger non-causality test for heterogeneous panels revealed bidirectional causality between CO2 emissions, energy use and economic growth.
