The environmental Kuznets curve and sustainability : a panel data analysis
Farhani, Sahbi; Mrizak, Sana; Chaibi, Anissa; Rault, … - 2014
In recent years, sustainability has represented one of the most important policy goals explored in the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) literature. But related hypotheses, performance measures and results continue to present a challenge. The present paper contributes to this ongoing literature...

The environmental Kuznets curve : exploring a fresh specification
Bradford, David F.; Schlieckert, Rebecca; Shore, Stephen H. - 2000
Using a new specification, we reanalyze the data on worldwide environmental quality investigated by Gene Grossman and Alan Krueger in a well-known paper on the environmental Kuznets curve (which postulates an inverse U shaped relationship between income level and pollution). The new...

Economic growth and pollutant emissions : new panel evidence from the Union for the Mediterranean countries
Abdeljelil, Mouna Ben; Rault, Christophe; Belaïd, Fateh - 2023
This paper investigates the existence of an environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) and its robustness for 28 countries of the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) over the recent period. Our methodology relies on four recent estimation methods for non-stationary panel data and includes four pollutants...

Driving factors of carbon dioxide emissions and the impact from Kyoto protocol
Grunewald, Nicole; Martínez-Zarzoso, Inmaculada - 2009
In the last two decades increasing attention has been paid to the relationship between environmental degradation and economic development. According to the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis this relationship may be described by an inverted-U curve. However, recent evidence rejects the...

Energy consumption, economic growth and CO2 emissions in Middle East and North African Countries
Arouri, Mohamed; BenYoussef, Adel; M'Henni, Hatem; … - 2012
This article extends the recent findings of Liu (2005), Ang (2007), Apergis et al. (2009) and Payne (2010) by implementing recent bootstrap panel unit root tests and cointegration techniques to investigate the relationship between carbon dioxide emissions, energy consumption, and real GDP for 12...

Identification and estimation of the environmental Kuznets curve : pairwise differencing to deal with nonlinearity and nonstationarity
Sen, Suphi; Melenberg, Bertrand; Vollebergh, Herman R. J. - 2016
We propose an estimation strategy that accounts for two major problems raised in the empirical literature testing for the prevalence of the inverted U-shaped relation between environmental degradation and economic activity, namely the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis. First, we use...
