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 …

The paper at hand … examines the problem of negative pollution by, ¯rst, critically discussing two approaches adopted in existing EKC models and … the theo- retical problem of negative pollution, but also does well regarding the empirical plausibility of the abatement …

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 …
