      abstract = {This study examines how female tertiary education and  climate change affect economic growth in a set of 33 chosen  developing countries from around the world. Previous  literature examines the relationship between gender  inequality and economic growth and climate change and  economic growth both theoretically and empirically, in this  study empirical analysis of panel data set will be made  using a cross section fixed effects model. Annual growth  rate of female tertiary graduates with a ten-year lag,  gross fixed capital formation, and gross domestic product  growth rate with a one-year lag have been found to have a  positive and significant effect on the economic growth rate  for developing countries. A significant and positive  relationship has been found between the annual growth rate  of mean temperature and annual growth rate of gross  domestic product where the annual growth rate of gross  domestic product is the independent variable. Enrolment  rates or years of schooling of primary and secondary levels  have been used in previous literature as proxies for female  education; in this study the annual growth rate of female  tertiary graduates is used to highlight the importance of  tertiary level education and graduate growth rate is used  to provide better proxy for the completion of the whole  period of study and not only enrolment. Additionally,  climate change is usually included in economic models as a  dependent variable, in this study an attempt to explore  climate change as an independent variable is made to  provide more insights into the nature of the relationship  between climate change and economic growth. },
