Taxes and Tradable Permits As Instruments for Controlling Pollution; Theory and Practice
Norregaard, John; Reppelin-Hill, Valérie - International Monetary Fund (IMF) - 2000
This paper examines the relative merits of two dominant economic instruments for reducing pollution—”green” taxes and tradable permits. Theoretically, the two instruments share many similarities, and on balance, neither seems preferable to the other. In practice, however, most countries...

Does Air Pollution Matter for Low Birth Weight?
Cho, Seonyeong; Lee, Choongki; Kim, Beomsoo - Institute of Economic Research, Korea University - 2012
There is growing concern that air pollution may impact the health of newborns. This study examines this issue by considering overtime variation generated by exogenous changes in the pollution level in Korea in early 2000, when some part of Korea experienced huge drop in air pollution. We matched...

Public goods, environmental quality and the EKC - the 'unsaid' of the intensity of use indices
Bimonte, Salvatore - In: International Journal of Sustainable Economy 4 (2012) 2, pp. 167-180
The environmental Kuznets curve and the green convergence hypotheses postulate that economic growth and pollution may be decoupled. Their validity has been questioned from several perspectives. This study addresses, from the particular viewpoint of an economist, an additional (though obvious)...

World emissions and economic growth: application of non-parametric methods
Tsurumi, Tetsuya; Managi, Shunsuke - In: International Journal of Global Environmental Issues 9 (2009) 1/2, pp. 69-83
The Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesises an inverse U-shaped relationship between a measure of environmental pollution and per capita income levels. In this study, we apply non-parametric estimation of local polynomial regression (local quadratic fitting) to allow more flexibility in...

Re-examining the growth-emissions nexus: does the latecomer advantage alter the environmental Kuznets curve?
Puzon, Klarizze; Alonzo, Ruperto - In: International Journal of Green Economics 6 (2012) 3, pp. 298-316
The Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis describes an inverted U-shaped relationship between environmental quality indicators and per capita income. In comparison to previous studies on the EKC, this paper tests for the potential advantage of latecomer economies. It is presumed that...
