This paper provides new empirical evidence on Environmental Kuznets Curves (EKC) for greenhouse gases (GHGs) and air … efficiency (EKC model) and total emissions (IPAT model). Results show that looking at sector evidence, both decoupling and also …&D expenditure show weak correlation with emissions efficiency. EKC and IPAT derived models provide similar conclusions overall; the …

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...

This paper investigates the EKC curves for CO2 emissions in a panel of 109 countries during the period 1959-2001. The … results, based on the hierarchical Bayes estimator, show that different EKC dynamics are associated with the different sub … samples of countries considered. On average, more industrialized countries show an EKC evidence in quadratic specifications …

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...

The paper investigates socially optimal patterns of economic growth and environmental quality in a neoclassical growth model with endogenous technological progress. In the model, the environmental quality affects positively not only to utility but also to production. However, cleaner...
