The paper investigated the causality among carbon emission, oil production and economic growth in Nigeria’s time series data for the period 1970 to 2013. It estimated an autoregressive distributed lag model and used granger causality mechanism to establish both the effects and causal nexus among the variables. The main finding is that oil production and carbon emission had significant negative effect real per capital growth and a significant causal relationship from crude oil production to carbon emission and economic growth. This finding implied that attempts to quicken real economic growth and enhanced welfare through oil production had led instead to a worsen environment degradation and lower quality of life such that the benefit of oil resources endowment was only seen but not felt by people. Hence, possibly the negative impact of oil resources reported in many previous studies in many oil dependent country might indeed be as a result of induced environmental degradation and health hazard due to higher carbon emission in such countries like Nigeria.

Niniejszy artykuł bada związku przyczynowo – skutkowe pomiędzy emisją dwutlenku węgla, produkcją ropy naftowej i wzrostem ekonomicznym w Nigerii na podstawie danych z zakresu czasowego 1970-2013. Oszacowano model z autoregresyjnymi rozkładami opóźnień oraz test przyczynowości Grangera, aby ustalić zarówno efekty, jak i związek przyczynowy pomiędzy zmiennymi. Podstawowe wyniki wskazują, że produkcja ropy i emisja dwutlenku węgla mają znaczący negatywny efekt na wzrost per capita i znaczącą relację przyczynową od produkcji ropy poprzez emisję dwutlenku węgla i wzrost gospodarczy. Wyniki te dowodzą, że próby przyspieszenia rzeczywistego wzrostu gospodarczego i poprawy dobrobytu poprzez produkcję ropy doprowadziły do pogorszenia stanu środowiska i niższej jakości życia, w związku z czym korzyści z wydobycia ropy były tylko widziane, lecz nieodczuwane przez mieszkańców. Z tego powodu możliwy negatywny wpływ zasobów ropy zaobserwowany we wcześniejszych badaniach dotyczących wielu krajów uzależnionych od wydobycia ropy, może także wystąpić w Nigerii w postaci degradacji środowiska i problemów zdrowotnych wskutek wyższej emisji dwutlenku węgla.
