Title : A Structural nonparametric reappraisal of the CO2 emissions-income relationships.
Author(s) : Theophile T. Azomahou, Micheline Goedhuys, Phu Nguyen-Van
Abstract : Relying on a structural nonparametric estimation, we show that CO2 emissions clearly increase with income at low income levels. For higher income levels, we observe a decreasing relationship, though not significant. We also find that CO2 emissions monotonically increases with energy use at a decreasing rate.
