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.
