Income inequality and the environmental Kuznets curve
Borghesi, Simone - 2000
This study explores the link between environmental degradation, economic growth and income inequality within the framework of the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) literature. To investigate this issue, we examine how inequality affects carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and their relationship with...

Corruption, Growth, and the Environment : A Cross-Country Analysis
Welsch, Heinz - 2003
The relationship between per capita income and a number of pollution indicators has been found to display an inverted U …-shaped or downward-sloping pattern. Corruption may affect this relationship in two distinct ways: by raising pollution at given …. Using cross section data for several indicators of pollution, the paper estimates the direct and the indirect effect of …

Nonlinear cointegration analysis and the environmental Kuznets curve
Hong, Seung Hyun; Wagner, Martin - 2008
Recent years have seen a growing literature on the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) that resorts in a large part to cointegration techniques. The EKC literature has failed to acknowledge that such regressions involve unit root nonstationary regressors and their integer powers (e.g. GDP and GDP...

The environmental Kuznets curve from mulitple perspectives
Jaeger, William K.; Kolpin, Van - 2008
The analysis finds that in addition to U-shaped paths of environmental quality arising for growth in income per capita, growth in population can also produce socially efficient patterns that are U-shaped. Sufficient conditions for both types of paths are identified for a range of models and...

Investigating the shape of the EKC: A nonparametric approach
Baiocchi, Giovanni; DiFalco, Salvatore - 2001
In this paper we investigate the existence and shape of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) by means of nonparametric methods. We also investigate the issues involved in the choice of nonparametric estimator. We find that the nature of the economic relationship and the quality of environmental...

The Stability of the Adjusted and Unadjusted Environmental Kuznets Curve
Becchetti, Leonardo; Auci, Sabrina - 2005
In our paper, we test the stability of the unadjusted and adjusted Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC). Our results provide evidence in favour of the significance of the adjusted EKC hypothesis in which the impact of per capita GDP on the intensity of CO2 emissions is evaluated conditionally to...

A Bayesian Approach to the Estimation of Environmental Kuznets Curves for CO2 Emissions
Mazzanti, Massimiliano; Musolesi, Antonio; Zoboli, Roberto - 2006
This paper investigates the EKC curves for CO2 emissions in a panel of 109 countries during the period 1959-2001. The length of the series makes the application of a heterogeneous estimator suitable from an econometric point of view. The results, based on the hierarchical Bayes estimator, show...
