Abstract

Considerable discussion has taken place during the last decade regarding the role of economic growth in determining environmental quality. Using data from 30 OECD countries for the period 1960-2003 and the nonparametric method of generalized additive models, which enables us to use flexible functional forms, this paper examines the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis for carbon dioxide (CO₂). We find that the reduction of coal share in energy use has a significant effect on CO₂. Our results imply that economic growth is not sufficient to decrease CO₂ emissions.
