To ascertain the extent of the association between the variables under investigation, the researchers employed regression analysis, correlation analysis, and descriptive statistics. To that purpose, E-views 10 was utilized to look for correlations between the dependent and independent variables using the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) approach to estimation. We used the cost of gas flaring as a proxy, and we used GDP, unemployment, life expectancy, crime, and safety rate as proxies for socioeconomic progress. The findings indicate a statistically significant and positive correlation between the cost of gas flaring and life expectancy, GDP, and unemployment.

When valuable natural resources are frittered away by venting and flaring, they should be conserved for later use or put to good use, such as producing electricity.
