pollution becomes negative in the long run. This, of course, is a highly implausible prediction. The paper at hand examines the … problem of negative pollution by, first, critically discussing two approaches adopted in existing EKC models and, second, by … theoretical problem of negative pollution, but also does well regarding the empirical plausibility of the abatement technology. …

This paper tests the effect of gross domestic product (GDP) per capita on pollution, measured by carbon dioxide (CO2 …) emissions per capita. World Bank 1992 study claims that pollution rises with income, but at a slower and slower speed and …
