We study the eventual structural differences of climate change leading 'actors' such as Northern EU countries, and 'lagging actors' - southern EU countries and the 'Umbrella group' - with regard to long run (1960-2001) carbon-income relationships. Parametric and semi parametric panel models show...

We study the structural differences among climate change leading factors - Northern EU members -, and lagging actors - southern EU countries and the Umbrella group - with regard to long run carbon-income relationships. Homogeneous and heterogeneous panel models show that the groups of countries...

This paper investigates the EKC curves for CO2 emissions in a panel of 109 countries during the period 1959-2001. The length of the series makes the application of a heterogeneous estimator suitable from an econometric point of view. The results, based on the hierarchical Bayes estimator, show...

We study the structural differences among climate change leading "factors" - Northern EU members -, and lagging actors - southern EU countries and the "Umbrella group" - with regard to long run carbon-income relationships. Homogeneous and heterogeneous panel models show that the groups of...

We study long run carbon emissions-income relationships for advanced countries grouped in policy relevant groups: North America and Oceania, South Europe, North Europe. By relying on recent advances on Generalized Additive Mixed Models (GAMMs) and adopting interaction models, we handle...
