Summary:The study investigates financial development's heterogeneous impact on emission of CO 2 , especially in the pre‐ and post‐global financial crisis phases and analyzes the mediators through which financial development affects the emission of CO 2 . Using panel quantile estimation with non‐additive fixed effects method, on a comprehensive sample of 125 countries over the period 1991–2015, we find that the overall financial development activities increase the emission of CO 2 . However, financial development has a much greater effect on increasing CO 2 emissions in countries with fewer emissions than in those with higher emissions.
