Investigating the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis by utilizing the ecological footprint as an indicator of environmental degradation

TLDR
In this article, the authors investigated the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis using a country's ecological footprint as an indicator of environmental degradation, and the results showed an inverted U-shaped relationship between the ecological footprint and GDP growth, which represents the EKC hypothesis in upper middle and high income countries but not in low- and lower middle-income countries.

CO2 emissions, real output, energy consumption, trade, urbanization and financial development: testing the EKC hypothesis for the USA

TL;DR: There is enough evidence to support one-way causality running from GDP to energy consumption, from financial development to output, and from urbanization to financial development, and the US government should take into account the importance of trade openness, urbanization, and financial development in controlling for the levels of GDP and pollution.

Testing Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis in Asian countries

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focused on how both income and policies in these countries affect the income-emissions (environment) relationship and found that an inverted U-shape association between emissions and income per capita, yielding empirical support to the presence of an Environmental Kuznet Curve hypothesis.

Determinants of CO2 emissions in the European Union: The role of renewable and non-renewable energy

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the impacts of renewable and non-renewable energy, real income and trade openness on CO2 emissions in the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) model for the European Union over the period 1980-2012 by employing panel estimation techniques robust to cross-sectional dependence.

Some Tests of Specification for Panel Data: Monte Carlo Evidence and an Application to Employment Equations.

TL;DR: In this article, the generalized method of moments (GMM) estimator optimally exploits all the linear moment restrictions that follow from the assumption of no serial correlation in the errors, in an equation which contains individual effects, lagged dependent variables and no strictly exogenous variables.

A Heteroskedasticity-Consistent Covariance Matrix Estimator and a Direct Test for Heteroskedasticity

Halbert White
- 01 May 1980 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a parameter covariance matrix estimator which is consistent even when the disturbances of a linear regression model are heteroskedastic is presented, which does not depend on a formal model of the structure of the heteroSkewedness.

Specification Tests in Econometrics

Jerry A. Hausman
- 01 Nov 1978 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the null hypothesis of no misspecification was used to show that an asymptotically efficient estimator must have zero covariance with its difference from a consistent but asymptonically inefficient estimator, and specification tests for a number of model specifications in econometrics.

Testing for unit roots in heterogeneous panels

TL;DR: In this article, a unit root test for dynamic heterogeneous panels based on the mean of individual unit root statistics is proposed, which converges in probability to a standard normal variate sequentially with T (the time series dimension) →∞, followed by N (the cross sectional dimension)→∞.

Why do people in developing countries tend to have smaller ecological footprint than people in developed countries?

The fixed effects and the generalized method of moments results clearly showed an inverted U-shaped relationship between the ecological footprint and GDP growth, which represents the EKC hypothesis in upper middle- and high-income countries but not in low- and lower middle-income countries.
