Development-induced water pollution in Malaysia: policy implications from an econometric analysis

This paper evaluates the development-induced water pollution in Malaysia within an econometric framework. It explores the relationship between water pollution problems and rapid economic development such as industrial growth and urbanization/population in the country. Methodologically, a Multiple Re...
