Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to test the Kuznets Environmental Curve (KEC) hypothesis for 10 MENA (Middle East and North Africa) countries during the period 1987-2017. To do this, the translogical functional form has been adopted to estimate the relationship between Toxic Gases (TG) emissions, energy consumption and GDP per capita. The results confirm the presence of KEC, GDP per capita and energy consumption have a positive influence on TG emissions, and the presence of a feedback relationship between GDP per capita and energy consumption. As a result, the environmental framework of the selected countries improves as their level of growth has become more advanced. In addition, to reduce TG emissions, MENA countries are expected to significantly increase the use of renewable energy and a more efficient energy policy.

In order to achieve that, we will outline inflation types and their causes as reported by selected authors. We will also describe several ways of assessing and quantifying the demand-related inflation potential originating in the household sector, as published by the Czech National Bank. Furthermore, we will calculate the indicators of total potential demand-related inflation impulses from the household sector, whose development is to be compared with the household consumption deflator. The values of the overall relative income status of households will then be explained using their parallels for individual household income items. The quantification of the overall demand-related inflation potential from the household sector will then be carried out in the form of accumulating their values in terms of the localised periods of recession and boom in the GDP development in fixed prices.
