| Summary: | This study attempts to examine the impact of climate change toward economic
growth in perspective of major cities in Malaysia for the period 1980-2010.
Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) unit root test, Johansen and Juselius cointegration
test and Vector Error Correction modelling to examine the relationship between
variable under the study. The results show that in different major cities show in
different results. By using Johansen and Juselius Cointegration test, the results
indicated that long run relationship exists between the variables for all major cities
except Kuala Terengganu. The evidence also indicate that mean maximum
temperature have positive impact on the economic growth in Subang and Kuching.
The mean minimum temperature have negative impact on the economic growth in
Kuala Terengganu, Kuching and Kota Kinabalu. Finally, rainfall has a negative
impact on the economic growth for all major cities in Malaysia. As a whole, the
government should commit to ensuring that society is adapting to the effects of
climate change. |
