Empirical Analysis of National Income and So2 Emissions in Selected European Countries

Markandya, Anil; Pedroso, Suzette; Golub, Alexander - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2004

Data on GDP per capita and sulfur emissions for twelve European countries were analyzed to determine the relationship between emissions and income in these countries. As a whole, the relationship between sulfur emissions and per capita income is a fourth order polynomial and not a quadratic one...
