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...

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...

Desperately Seeking (Environmental) Kuznets
Galeotti, Marzio; Lanza, Alessandro - 1999
The number of studies seeking to empirically characterize the reduced-form relationship between a country's economic growth and the quantity of various pollutants produced has recently increased significantly. In several cases researchers have found evidence in favor of an inverted-U...

Desperately seeking (environmental) Kuznets: A new look at the evidence
Galeotti, Marzio; Lanza, Alessandro; Pauli, Francesco - 2001
The number of studies seeking to empirically characterize the reduced-form relationship between a country economic growth and the quantity of pollutants produced in the process has recently increased significantly. In several cases researchers have found evidence pointing to an inverted-U...

On the Robustness of Robustness Checks of the Environmental Kuznets Curve
Galeotti, Marzio; Manera, Matteo; Lanza, Alessandro - 2006
Since its first inception in the debate on the relationship between environment and growth in 1992, the Environmental Kuznets Curve has been subject to continuous and intense scrutiny. The literature can be roughly divided in two historical phases. Initially, after the seminal contributions,...

What drives biodiversity?: an empirical assessment of the relation between biodiversity and the economy
Freytag, Andreas; Vietze, Christoph; Völkl, Wolfgang - 2009
The environmental discussion is increasingly extended to the question of how to preserve biodiversity. As sensible regulation of biodiversity utilization uses politically set incentive schemes, it is required to discus the monetary value of biodiversity. Consequently, the relation between...

Unit Roots, Polynomial Transformations and the Environmental Kuznets Curve
Liu, Gang; Skjerpen, Terje; Swensen, Anders Rygh; … - 2006
Time-series regressions including non-linear transformations of an integrated variable are not uncommon in various fields of economics. In particular, within the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) literature, where the effect on the environment of income levels is investigated, it is standard...
