Uncovering the impact of income inequality and population aging on carbon emission efficiency: An empirical analysis of 139 countries

Qiang Wang et al.

Summary: Income inequality and carbon emission efficiency are crucial factors in achieving UN sustainable development goals. However, research on the relationship between these two factors has been lacking. This study uses panel data from 139 countries between 1998 and 2018 to explore how income inequality affects carbon emission efficiency, considering the influence of aging and economic growth. The results indicate that income inequality inhibits the improvement of carbon emission efficiency and that the relationship between income inequality and carbon emission efficiency is influenced by aging and economic growth, showing U-shaped and inverted U-shaped patterns respectively. Policy recommendations are provided based on the changes in spatial and temporal distributions.

The effect of political stability, carbon dioxide emission and economic growth on income inequality: evidence from developing, high income and Belt Road initiative countries

Hayat Khan et al.

Summary: The paper investigates the relationship between income inequality, carbon dioxide emission, financial development, and political stability. The findings show that economic growth is effective in reducing income inequality, while carbon dioxide emission, financial development, and political stability can increase income inequality in different country categories.

Income inequality, carbon emissions, and green development efficiency

Yongchun Sun

Summary: Income inequality has significant impacts on carbon emissions and green development efficiency, with a trend of increasing-decreasing-flattening effect on carbon emissions as regional economic development improves. The effect of income inequality on green development efficiency shows an inverted U shape, but the number of cities where it has an inhibitory effect on carbon emissions and green development efficiency has increased over time, with only a few cities showing significant impact on green development efficiency.

Income inequality and carbon emissions in the United States 1929-2019

Fredrik N. G. Andersson

Summary: This paper examines the relationship between income inequality and carbon emissions in the United States from 1929 to 2019. The study investigates how this relationship has changed over time. The findings indicate that in the early years, higher inequality was associated with lower emissions, while in the later years, it was linked to higher emissions.

The social shortfall and ecological overshoot of nations

Andrew L. Fanning et al.

Summary: Most countries tend to transgress biophysical boundaries faster than they achieve social thresholds, leading to deep transformations being needed to safeguard human and planetary health. No country has achieved minimum social thresholds within biophysical boundaries between 1992 and 2015, and a projection indicates that no country is on the path to achieve them.

The income inequality-CO2 emissions nexus: Transmission mechanisms

Guanghua Wan et al.

Summary: This paper contributes to the literature by using instrumental variable approach to estimate the causal impact of income inequality on carbon emissions and exploring the underlying transmission mechanisms. The results indicate a trade-off between income inequality and CO2 emissions, with mechanisms including DMPE and DMPC economic laws, as well as increased R&D expenditure caused by high income inequality.

Impact of poverty and income inequality on the ecological footprint in Asian developing economies: Assessment of Sustainable Development Goals

Salim Khan et al.

Summary: Poverty, income inequality, and environmental degradation are critical challenges to sustainable development. This study empirically examines the relationship between these factors in 18 Asian developing countries and finds that both poverty and income inequality have detrimental effects on the environment, supporting the inverted U-shaped Environmental Kuznets Curve. The findings have important policy implications for the investigated region.

Empowering the powerless: Does access to energy improve income inequality?

Alex O. Acheampong et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of energy accessibility on income inequality using a comprehensive dataset for 166 countries from 1990 to 2017. The results indicate that access to electricity reduces global income inequality, while access to modern and clean energy increases it. Urban and rural electrification can reduce global income inequality, with urban electrification having a more significant impact. Access to energy is found to moderate the impact of economic growth and education on global income inequality.

Summary: This study investigates the significant relationship between energy poverty and income inequality through empirical analysis and global data. The findings suggest that an increase in income inequality tends to exacerbate energy poverty, while reducing energy poverty may help to lower income inequality.

Symmetric and Asymmetric Impact of Poverty, Income Inequality, and Population on Carbon Emission in Pakistan: New Evidence From ARDL and NARDL Co-Integration

Salim Khan et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of poverty, income inequality, population, and GDP on carbon emissions in Pakistan. It found that poverty, population density, and GDP per capita increase carbon emissions in both the short and long-run, while income inequality has no direct impact in the short-run and weakens environmental degradation in the long-run. The findings provide policy implications for Pakistan in alignment with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.

Essential Workers and Care Penalties in the United States

Nancy Folbre et al.

Summary: Research shows that workers in essential care service jobs, especially women, earn less than other essential workers in the United States, and this pattern cannot be solely explained by differences in unionization rates, with institutional factors also impacting the earnings of doctors and nurses. The undervaluation of care work has significant implications for the future supply of care services, highlighting the need to develop broad coalitions to challenge this phenomenon during the pandemic.
