Description
The paper estimates the link between aggregate income and carbon dioxide emissions for the Dominican Republic. The econometric analysis uses time series data spanning half a century and finds evidence of an environmental Kuznets curve revealing that the level of annual real per capita income at which carbon dioxide emissions start to stabilise is around US$1,600. The estimations support evidence in the literature revealing that the curve has been flattening and shifting to the left.
