Desperately Seeking (Environmental) KuznetsMarzio GaleottiUniversity of Milan - Department of Economics, Business and Statistics (DEAS); Bocconi University - IEFE Centre for Research on Energy and Environmental Economics and Policy Alessandro LanzaFondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM), Milan; Centre for North South Economic Research (CRENos) January 1999 Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Paper No. 2.99 Abstract: The number of studies seeking to empirically characterize the reduced-form relationship between a country economic growth and the quantity of various pollutants produced has recently increased significantly. In several cases researchers have found evidence in favor of an inverted-U "environmental Kuznets" curve. In the case of a major greenhouse gas, CO2, however, the evidence is at best mixed. This paper attempts to shed further light on this issue by using a newly developed data set covering over one hundred countries around the world for the last twenty five years and by considering alternative functional forms together with an effort to rigorously discriminate among competing alternatives.
