Modeling the Emissions-Income Relationship Using Long-Run Growth Rates

Burke, Paul J.; Gerlagh, Reyer; Stern, David I.; Anjum, Zeba - Crawford School of Public Policy, Australian National … - 2014

We adopt a new representation of the relationship between emissions and income using long-run growth rates. Our approach allows us to test multiple hypotheses about the drivers of per capita emissions in a single framework and avoid several of the econometric issues that have plagued previous...

Rethinking the Emissions-Income Relationship in Terms of Growth Rates

Anjum, Zeba; Burke, Paul J.; Gerlagh, Reyer; Stern, David I. - Australian Agricultural and Resource Economics Society … - 2014

The long-run average growth rates of per capita carbon dioxide emissions and GDP per capita are positively correlated, though the rate of emissions intensity reduction varies widely across countries. The conventional approach to investigating these relationships involves panel regression models...

Global Energy Use: Decoupling or Convergence?

Csereklyei, Zsuzsanna; Stern, David I. - Crawford School of Public Policy, Australian National … - 2014

is robust to the presence of unit roots, unobserved time effects, and spatial effects. We test for both strong decoupling … where economic growth has less effect on energy use as income increases, and weak decoupling where energy use declines over … driven by economic growth, convergence in energy intensity, and weak decoupling. There is no sign of strong decoupling. …

The Environmental Kuznets Curve: A Primer

Stern, David I. - Crawford School of Public Policy, Australian National … - 2014

The environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) is a hypothesized relationship between various indicators of environmental degradation and income per capita. As economies get richer environmental impacts first rise but eventually fall. In reality, though some types of environmental degradation have been...
