Economic Growth and Pollutant Emissions: New Panel Evidence from the Union for the Mediterranean Countries
Ben Abdeljelil, Mouna; Rault, Christophe; Belaïd, Fateh - 2023
the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) over the recent period. Our methodology relies on four recent estimation methods for … non-stationary panel data and includes four pollutants (two global and two local). Two main results emerge from our … analysis. First, the EKC does not hold for most pollutants, and its validity crucially depends on the estimation techniques …

Green Cities? Urbanization, Trade and the Environment
Borck, Rainald; Pflüger, Michael P. - 2015
This paper establishes a simple theoretical framework which comprises key forces that shape the structure and interrelation of cities to study the interdependencies between urban evolution and the environment. We focus on the potential of the unfettered market forces to economize on emissions. A...

On the Specification of Mincerian Wage Regressions with Heterogeneity, Non-Linearity, Non-Separability, and Heteroskedasticity
Belzil, Christian - 2004
Using panel data taken from the NLSY, I perform the joint estimation of i) a reduced-form dynamic model of the … transition from one grade level to the next with observed and unobserved heterogeneity, and ii) a flexible version of the … celebrated Mincerian wage regression with skill heterogeneity, non-linearity in schooling, non-separability between the effects …

Do output contractions trigger democratic change?
Burke, Paul J.; Leigh, Andrew - 2010
Does faster economic growth increase pressure for democratic change, or reduce it? Using data for 154 countries for the period 1963-2007, we examine the short-run relationship between economic growth and moves toward and away from greater democracy. To address the potential endogeneity of...

Does conflict disrupt growth? Evidence of the relationship between political instability and national economic performance
Polachek, Solomon W.; Sevastianova, Daria - 2010
Current empirical growth models limit the determinants of country growth to geographic, economic, and institutional variables. This study draws on conflict variables from the Correlates of War (COW) project to ask a critical question: How do different types of conflict affect country growth...

Democratization, violent social conflicts, and growth
Cervellati, Matteo; Sunde, Uwe - 2011
This paper investigates the empirical role of violent conflicts for the causal effect of democracy on economic growth. Exploiting within-country variation to identify the effect of democratization during the Third Wave, we find evidence that the effect of democratization is weaker than reported...
