TL;DR: The Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis as discussed by the authors proposes an inverted-U-shaped relationship between different pollutants and per capita income, i.e., environmental pressure increases up to a certain level as income goes up; after that, it decreases.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results of a study of income-CO 2 emission causality based on a Granger causality test to cross-country panel data on per capita income and the corresponding per capita CO 2 emission data.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the causality issue of income-emission relationship based on time series econometric techniques of unit root test, cointegration and related error correction model for a panel data set.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the relationship between the patterns of cross-country distribution of income and CO2 emission and temporal shifts in such a relationship and examined how the mean level of per capita CO2 emissions and its distributional inequality are related to the corresponding mean income level and the distributional inequalities of income.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explain the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) or inverted U-shaped relationship between income and environmental degradation in the framework of endogenous growth model, where one part of capital is used for commodity production, which generates pollution that degrades existing environment, and the remaining part is used to abate pollution (i.e., upgrading environment).
