- Trade, Growth and the Environment (2004, background): “Some empirical studies, such as Barrett and Graddy (2000) include measures of political freedom as an extra shift variable in their EKC regressions; and find that all else equal, increased freedom is associated with a cleaner environment.”
- Does the Environmental Kuznets Curve Describe How Individual Countries Behave? (2004, background): “To policymakers, the identification of countries behaving according to the EKC proposition for specific pollutants would be compelling evidence for the theory’s value.”
- Environmental Kuznets Curve for CO2 in Canada (2010, background): “These papers include Cole and Elliott (2003), Cole (2004), Roca et al. (2001), Heerink et al. (2001), Barrett and Graddy (2000) , Gale and Mendez (1998), Kaufman et al. (1998), Torras and Boyce (1998) and Panayotou, (1997).”

- Democracy and Environmental Degradation (2006, background): “Barrett and Graddy (2000) find that a rise in democracy lowers per capita sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions in a pooled sample of countries for about 33 years and particulate emissions in a sample of 27 countries for about 38 years.”
- Explaining national environmental performance: approaches, evidence, and implications (2011, methodology): “Building on the EKC research, Barrett and Graddy (2000) conclude that a low freedom country can reduce its pollution at least as much by increasing its freedoms as it can by increasing its income per head.”
