We study the eventual structural differences of climate change leading ‘actors’ such as Northern EU countries, and ‘lagging actors’ - southern EU countries and the ‘Umbrella group’ - with regard to long run (1960-2001) carbon-income relationships. Parametric and semi parametric panel...

We study the structural differences among climate change leading "factors" - Northern EU members -, and lagging actors - southern EU countries and the "Umbrella group" - with regard to long run carbon-income relationships. Homogeneous and heterogeneous panel models show that the groups of...

This paper provides new empirical evidence on Environmental Kuznets Curves (EKC) for greenhouse gases (GHGs) and air pollutants at sector level. A panel dataset based on the Italian NAMEA over 1990-2005 is analysed, focusing on both emission efficiency (EKC model) and total emissions (IPAT...
