本文研究了各种高收入经合组织国家的CO2排放量和经济发展之间的长期关系,并将其与发展中国家的模式进行了比较。大多数高收入国家在二氧化碳强度(单位国内生产总值排放量)方面经历了环境库兹涅茨曲线类型的过渡,而较贫穷国家则没有这种模式。此外,总的历史模式是强度趋同。这些观察结果与考虑到特定时间或老式技术的解释是一致的。
This article examines the long-term relationship between CO2emissions and economic development for various high-income OECD countries that, in turn, are compared with pattern for developing countries. A majority of high-income countries have experienced environmental Kuznets curve types of transitions with respect to CO2intensity (emissions per GDP), while the these patterns are absent in the poorer countries. Moreover, the overall historical pattern is one of convergence with respect to intensities. These observations are consistent with an explanation that takes into account includes time-specific, or vintage technology.
