Abstract: This paper aims to understand the impact of manufactured exports on the level of carbon dioxide emissions in developed and developing countries. It uses secondary data and econometrics to analyze these two groups of countries from 2001 to 2006. It is found that the existence of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) is following: a positive or increasingly monotonic relationship occurs in developing countries between the level of manufactured exports and CO2 emissions, while the reverse occurs in the developed countries. The developing countries tend to be dominated by exporting natural resource- intensive manufactured products, while the exports of the developed countries are dominated by exporting technology-intensive manufactured products. The relevance with the Indonesian case is also discussed.
