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 …

This paper examines the link between pollution and income. It shows how income inequality affects environmental … policies and therefore pollution. The Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis proposes that there is an inverted U …

Recent literature proposes many variables as significant determinants of pollution. This paper gives an overview of … this literature and asks which of these factors have an empirically robust impact on water and air pollution, i.e. do not … water pollution. …

The relationship between economic growth and pollution is very complex, depending upon a host of different factors …. Thus the study of this phenomenon represents a challenging endeavor. While most economics papers begin with theory and … support that theory with econometric evidence, the literature on Environmental Kuznets Curves has proceeded in the opposite …
