Economic Growth and the Environment with Clean and Dirty Consumption
Orecchia, Carlo; Tessitore, Maria Elisabetta - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011

The Environmental Kuznets Curve: a Survey of the Literature
Borghesi, Simone - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 1999
In the last few years, several studies have found an inverted-U relationship between per capita income and environmental degradation. This relationship, known as the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC), suggests that environmental degradation increases in the early stages of growth, but it...

The Environmental Kuznets Curve from Multiple Perspectives
Jaeger, William K.; Kolpin, Van - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2008
The analysis finds that in addition to U-shaped paths of environmental quality arising for growth in income per capita, growth in population can also produce socially efficient patterns that are U-shaped. Sufficient conditions for both types of paths are identified for a range of models and...

Going Forward by Looking Backwards on the Environmental Kuznets Curve: an Analysis of CFCs, CO2 and the Montreal and Kyoto Protocols
Longden, Thomas - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2014
The success of the Montreal Protocol in comparison to the stagnation seen in negotiations surrounding the Kyoto Protocol highlights the importance of a supportive industry group, pre-existing legislation and commitment by a lead nation, affordable and available substitutes, as well as acceptance...

Understanding Long-Term Energy Use and Carbon Dioxide Emissions in the Usa
Tol, Richard S.J.; Pacala, Stephen W.; Socolow, Robert - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2006
We compile a database of energy uses, energy sources, and carbon dioxide emissions for the USA for the period 1850-2002. We use a model to extrapolate the missing observations on energy use by sector. Overall emission intensity rose between 1850 and 1917, and fell between 1917 and 2002. The...

A Bayesian Approach to the Estimation of Environmental Kuznets Curves for CO2 Emissions
Mazzanti, Massimiliano; Musolesi, Antonio; Zoboli, Roberto - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2006
This paper investigates the EKC curves for CO2 emissions in a panel of 109 countries during the period 1959-2001. The length of the series makes the application of a heterogeneous estimator suitable from an econometric point of view. The results, based on the hierarchical Bayes estimator, show...

Nonlinearity, Heterogeneity and Unobserved Effects in the CO2-income Relation for Advanced Countries
Mazzanti, Massimiliano; Musolesi, Antonio - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013
We study long run carbon emissions-income relationships for advanced countries grouped in policy relevant groups: North America and Oceania, South Europe, North Europe. By relying on recent advances on Generalized Additive Mixed Models (GAMMs) and adopting interaction models, we handle...
