The inequality-emissions nexus in the context of trade and development: A quantile regression approach (2017, methodology): “On the opposite, Ravallion et al. (2000) and Heerink et al. (2001) show that higher inequality across households can reduce aggregate environmental degradation.”
Taking the "U" out of Kuznets: a comprehensive analysis of the EKC and environmental degradation. (2009, background): “Since these initial studies, many have followed, focusing specifically on air pollution (i.e. List and Gallet, 1999; Heerink et al., 2001; Cole, 2003; Khanna, 2002; Bruvoll et al., 2003; Deacon andNorman, 2006;Merlevede et al., 2006; water pollution (Torras and Boyce, 1998; Paudel et al., 2005),…”
Environmental Kuznets Curve Hypothesis: A Survey (2004, background): “There is a 32 A gap between country’s ability to pay (ATP) for environmental protection and a country’s willingness to pay (WTP) provide the existing income inequality (Heerink et al., 2001).”
Measuring resource inequalities: The concepts and methodology for an area-based Gini coefficient (2008, background): “Contrarily, other investigations have found that this is not necessarily the case, and that there is a potential trade-off between equality and environmental quality (Scruggs 1998; Magnani 2000; Heerink et al. 2001).”
Income inequality, human capital, natural resource abundance, and ecological footprint in ECOWAS member countries (2021, neutral): “The core thesis in this strand of the literature is that in a society where income distribution is more balanced, the poor enter the middle class and consume more of ecological resources as well as other carbon-intensive products (Heerink et al., 2001).”
The Trade-off Between Income Inequality and Carbon Dioxide Emissions (2017, methodology): “With regard to the theoretical literature discussed above, it may be the case that the claims made by Ravallion et al. (2000) and Heerink et al. (2001) are particularly pertinent in poor countries.”
