This study explores the link between environmental degradation, economic growth and income inequality within the … carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and their relationship with economic growth. We show that the results heavily depend on the …

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.
