Temporal and spatial homogeneity in air pollutants panel EKC estimations : two nonparametric tests applied to Spanish provinces
Ordás Criado, Carlos - 2007
Although panel data have been used intensively by a wealth of studies investigating the GDP-pollution relationship, the poolability assumption used to model these data is almost never addressed. This paper applies a strategy to test the poolability assumption with methods robust to functional...

‘Effortless Perfection:’ Do Chinese cities manipulate air pollution data?
Ghanem, Dalia; Zhang, Junjie - In: Journal of Environmental Economics and Management 68 (2014) 2, pp. 203-225
This paper uses unique data on daily air pollution concentrations over the period 2001–2010 to test for manipulation in self-reported data by Chinese cities. First, we employ a discontinuity test to detect evidence consistent with data manipulation. Then, we propose a panel matching approach...

Growth and the pollution convergence hypothesis: a nonparametric approach.
Criado, C. Ordás; Valente, S.; Stengos, T. - Department of Economics and Finance, College of … - 2009
The pollution-convergence hypothesis is formalized in a neoclassical growth model with optimal emissions reduction: pollution growth rates are positively correlated with output growth (scale effect) but negatively correlated with emission levels (defensive effect). This dynamic law is...

Growth and Pollution Convergence: Theory and Evidence
Criado, Carlos Ordás; Valente, Simone; Stengos, Thanasis - Department of Economics and Finance, College of … - 2011
Stabilizing pollution levels in the long run is a pre-requisite for sustainable growth. We develop a neoclassical growth model with endogenous emission reduction predicting that, along optimal sustainable paths, pollution growth rates are (i) positively related to output growth (scale effect)...
