Desperately Seeking (Environmental) Kuznets

Galeotti, Marzio; Lanza, Alessandro - 1999

The number of studies seeking to empirically characterize the reduced-form relationship between a country's economic growth and the quantity of various pollutants produced has recently increased significantly. In several cases researchers have found evidence in favor of an inverted-U...

The Environmental Kuznets Curve: A Survey of the Literature

Borghesi, Simone - 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...

Richer and cleaner? A study on carbon dioxide emissions in developing countries

Galeotti, Marzio; Lanza, Alessandro - 1999

The Climate Change debate has drawn attention to the problem of greenhouse gases emissions into the atmosphere. One of the most important issues in the policy debate is the role that should be played by developing countries in joining the commitment of developed countries to reduce GHG...

Desperately seeking (environmental) Kuznets: A new look at the evidence

Galeotti, Marzio; Lanza, Alessandro; Pauli, Francesco - 2001

The number of studies seeking to empirically characterize the reduced-form relationship between a country economic growth and the quantity of pollutants produced in the process has recently increased significantly. In several cases researchers have found evidence pointing to an inverted-U...

On the Robustness of Robustness Checks of the Environmental Kuznets Curve

Galeotti, Marzio; Manera, Matteo; Lanza, Alessandro - 2006

Since its first inception in the debate on the relationship between environment and growth in 1992, the Environmental Kuznets Curve has been subject to continuous and intense scrutiny. The literature can be roughly divided in two historical phases. Initially, after the seminal contributions,...

Energy Biased Technical Change: A CGE Analysis

Otto, Vincent M.; Löschel, Andreas; Dellink, Rob - 2005

This paper studies energy bias in technical change. For this purpose, we develop a computable general equilibrium model that builds on endogenous growth models. The model explicitly captures links between energy, the rate and direction of technical change, and the economy. We derive the...

Spatial development

Desmet, Klaus; Rossi-Hansberg, Esteban - 2010

We present a theory of spatial development. A continuum of locations in a geographic area choose each period how much to innovate (if at all) in manufacturing and services. Locations can trade subject to transport costs and technology diffuses spatially across locations. The result is an...
