            of population size and technology on carbon emissions were 1.102 and 1.202,
            respectively. The impact of aging and trade openness on carbon emissions was
            positive and significant, while the impact of urbanization on carbon emissions
            was significantly negatively correlated.
                 The first-order lag term for carbon emissions is introduced in Table 3, and
            the dynamic panel regression results of developing and developed countries
            are compared. Among them, model (7) and model (10) are the results of fixed-
            effect regression in developing and developed countries. Model (8), model (9),
            model (11) and model (12) are estimates of differential GMM and system GMM
            for developing and developed countries. The predicted results show that the
            cumulative effect of carbon emissions in developing countries is stronger than
            that  in  developed  countries,  indicating  that  developed  countries  are  more
            effective in environmental governance than developing countries. Both carbon
            emissions  and  economic  growth  have  an  inverted  U-shaped  relationship.
            Population size, carbon intensity and aging levels are positively correlated with
            carbon  emissions.  The  level  of  urbanization  in  developing  countries  is
            positively correlated with carbon emissions, while the level of urbanization in
            developed  countries  is  negatively  correlated  with  carbon  emissions.  The
            impact of openness in developing countries on carbon emissions is negative
            but not significant, while it is positive in developed countries.
