Delinking Economic Growth from Environmental Degradation? A Literature Survey on the Environmental Kuznets Curve Hypothesis
Stagl, Sigrid - Vienna University of Economics and Business Research … - 1999
The effect of economic growth on environmental quality is much under dispute. A number of empirical studies have made the claim that there exist in some income ranges a positive relation between per capita income and some measure of environmental quality. According to this inverted U-shaped...

Modeling the Emissions-Income Relationship Using Long-Run Growth Rates
Burke, Paul J.; Gerlagh, Reyer; Stern, David I.; Anjum, Zeba - Crawford School of Public Policy, Australian National … - 2014
We adopt a new representation of the relationship between emissions and income using long-run growth rates. Our approach allows us to test multiple hypotheses about the drivers of per capita emissions in a single framework and avoid several of the econometric issues that have plagued previous...
