Environmental Kuznets Curves for carbon emissions : a critical survey
Aslanidis, Nektarios - 2009
The empirical finding of an inverse U-shaped relationship between per capita income and pollution, the so-called Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC), suggests that as countries experience economic growth, environmental deterioration decelerates and thus becomes less of an issue. Focusing on the...
