Journal of Economic Perspectives, 2002
The environmental Kuznets curve posits an inverted-U relationship between pollution and economic development. Pessimistic critics of empirically estimated curves have argued that their declining portions are illusory, either because they are cross-sectional snapshots that mask a long-run “race to the bottom” in environmental standards, or because ...

The Environmental Kuznets Curve ☆

, 2004
The environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) is a hypothesized relationship between environmental degradation and GDP per capita. In the early stages of economic growth, pollution emissions and other human impacts on the environment increase, but beyond some level of GDP per capita (which varies for different indicators), the trend reverses, so that at high ...

The Energy Dilemma: Does Energy Security Risk and Renewable Energy Affect Fossil Material Footprint? Policy Framework for Securing SDGs

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
Energy security risk has a positive impact on material footprint. Renewable energy consumption reduces material footprint. ABSTRACT Following a high economic growth path, the group of G7 economies is found to be utilising more and more material, causing a material footprint (MF), which in turn contributes to pollution.

Who Benefits From Green Tech? How Eco‐Innovation and Process Eco‐Innovation Shape Emissions Inequality Across G7 Economies

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the asymmetric effects of eco‐innovation on income‐based carbon emissions inequality within G7 economies over the period 1990–2023. Theoretically grounded in innovation diffusion theory and political economy frameworks, we argue that green technological advancements exert non‐linear, directional effects on emissions ...
