Özet
The economic complexity index, which is one of the essential elements of economic development, is a concept
that means the competitiveness, development, knowledge, and competence structure of the exported products. The
current literature generally stated that the increase in the economic complexity index supports sustainable growth.
However, the impact of changes in the economic complexity index on environmental damage is neglected in many
studies. Accordingly, in the present study, it is analyzed the impact of the economic complexity index on the
environmental degradation for the N-11 countries (Bangladesh, Indonesia, Philippines, South Korea, Iran, Mexico,
Egypt, Nigeria, Pakistan, Turkey, and Vietnam) between 1990 and 2014. Carbon emission is used as an indicator
of environmental degradation. Besides, the renewable and non-renewable (fossil) energy use and the total
population are included to the established model as control variables. According to the panel ARDL/PMG findings,
the economic complexity index, non-renewable energy use, and total population increase carbon emissions,
whereas the renewable energy use decreases. This situation shows that the economic complexity level in N-11
countries has insufficient level to reduce environmental degradation in given years.
