Total factor productivity and the environmental Kuznets curve

Article Abstract:

A study on the contrast between the rhetoric and the empirical evidence behind the environmental Kuznets curve conjecture is presented. While the rhetoric emphasizes economic development and the environmental trends over time, the evidence is largely cross-sectional. A link is established between total factor productivity and the environmental Kuznets curve in an economy where the individuals value consumption and the public good environmental quality, pollution results from capital and degrades the stock of the environment, and a technology for environmental protection exists. An environmental Kuznets curve is derived from the total factor productivities.
