Revisiting the environmental kuznets curve hypothesis in 208 counties: The roles of trade openness, human capital, renewable energy and natural resource rent

Qiang Wang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of trade openness, human capital, renewable energy, and natural resource rent on carbon emissions within the framework of the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis. The results show that the EKC hypothesis is validated when considering the effects of these factors. The relationship between income level and carbon emissions follows an inverted U-shaped curve, and the EKC turning point occurs at a real GDP per capita of $19,203. Renewable energy consumption and human capital have different effects on carbon emissions before and after the EKC turning point, while trade openness only mitigates carbon emissions in countries with weak decoupling after the turning point.

Does income inequality reshape the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis? A nonlinear panel data analysis

Qiang Wang et al.

Summary: The research finds that income inequality changes the relationship between economic growth and carbon emissions, shifting it from an inverted U-shape to an N-shape, thus increasing the complexity of decoupling economic growth from carbon emissions. During periods of low income inequality, economic growth increases carbon emissions, but as income inequality increases, economic growth suppresses carbon emissions. This phenomenon is more pronounced in high-income countries.
