This confirms that the negative sign of the square GDP coefficient suggests that the presence of the EKC hypothesis in India. The statistical significance of the error correction term ECTt-1 with an appropriate sign (-) is an indication of the speed of adjustment towards the long-run equilibrium after disequilibrium in the short run.
