Polluting technologies and sustainable economic development
Bertinelli, Luisito; Strobl, Eric; Zou, Benteng - 2006
We study how the import of older and more polluting technologies alters the relationship between output and environmental quality in developing countries within a vintage capital framework. Our results show that old technologies prolong the period until which pollution may eventually decrease...

Consumption smoothing and the welfare cost of uncertainty
Alem, Yonas; Colmer, Jonathan - 2018
Separating the effects of uncertainty from realised events, and identifying the welfare effects of uncertainty, present a number of empirical challenges. Combining individuallevel panel data from rural Ethiopia with high-resolution meteorological data, we introduce a new proxy for income...

"What's your shape?" : a data-driven approach to estimating the environmental Kuznets Curve
Gravina, Antonio Francesco; Lanzafame, Matteo - 2024
The substantial literature on the existence of an inverted U-shaped relationship between environmental degradation and economic growth-known as the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC)-has produced very mixed evidence. This largely depends on model and variable selection uncertainty. We address...

The Role of Energy in the Industrial Revolution and Modern Economic Growth
Stern, David I.; Kander, Astrid - 2011
The expansion in the supply of energy services over the last couple of centuries has reduced the apparent importance of … energy in economic growth despite energy being an essential production input. We demonstrate this by developing a simple … substitution between a capital-labor aggregate and energy is less than unity, which implies that when energy services are scarce …

Income elasticity for animal-based protein and food supply
Kmetʹková, Diana; Ščasný, Milan - 2022
Dietary choices are one of the main causes of mortality and environmental degradation. Plant-based diets, in comparison to diets rich in animal products, are considered to be more sustainable because they use fewer natural resources and come with a lower environmental burden, resulting in lower...

Carbon emissions and economic growth: homogeneous causality in heterogeneous panels
Maddison, David; Rehdanz, Katrin - 2008
This paper introduces the concept of homogeneous non-causality in heterogeneous panels. This concept is used to examine a panel of data for evidence of a causal relationship between GDP and carbon emissions. The technique is compared to the standard test for homogeneous non-causality in...
