Ben Abdeljelil, Mouna; Rault, Christophe; Belaïd, Fateh - 2023
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 (two global and two local). Two main results emerge from our … analysis. First, the EKC does not hold for most pollutants, and its validity crucially depends on the estimation techniques …

Democratization, violent social conflicts, and growth
Cervellati, Matteo; Sunde, Uwe - 2011
This paper investigates the empirical role of violent conflicts for the causal effect of democracy on economic growth. Exploiting within-country variation to identify the effect of democratization during the Third Wave, we find evidence that the effect of democratization is weaker than reported...
