中文摘要(Abstrct)
ABSTRCTThe environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) is a long-run inverted-U-shaped relationship between a country’s environmental degradation and material living standard. As thorough as possible, this paper collects most of the pre-2007 representative studies that tested the EKC hypothesis, summarizes their similarities and categorizes their differences. With a complete review of the EKC literature, this paper concludes whether the EKC hypothesis can be supported depends critically on data sources, sample countries, length of time period, the adoption of a market exchange rate or purchasing power parity to adjust GDP, regression functional forms and various estimation techniques.
