This study first uses the ordinary least squares method with fixed effects and then to solve the heterogeneity between the conditional distribution in the OLS model by using the MMQR method with fixed effects to investigate the relationship between trade volume, government integration and GDP per capita with the environmental performance index Paid.
Results: The results show the positive effect of trade volume and government integration index and the negative effect of GDP per capita with environmental performance index, that GDP in all quantiles significantly had the greatest effect on the dependent variable. The results of the model using the Generalized method of moments also show the positive effect of trade volume and government integration, as well as the negative effect of GDP per capita on the environmental performance index.
Conclusion: Considering the importance of government integrity as well as the positive effect of trade on environmental performance,
