• The impact of government expenditure on the environment: An empirical investigation (2012, unknown): “In this paper we estimate both the direct and indirect effects of the share of government expenditure of GDP on pollution by employing a similar empirical strategy to that used by Welsch (2004) and Cole (2007) in investigating the effect of corruption on pollution.”
• Consequences and causes of corruption: What do we know from a cross-section of countries? (2005, background): “The adverse environmental effects of corruption are investigated by Welsch [2004] for a cross-section of more than 100 countries.”
• Mapping the Regional Divide in Europe: A Measure for Assessing Quality of Government in 206 European Regions (2014, background): “For example, the empirical literature has found that states that suffer from high corruption, weak rule of law, and low impartiality are associated with lower levels of economic development (Mauro 2004), poorer health (Holmberg and Rothstein 2012), poorer environmental outcomes (Welsch 2004), greate”
• The Economic Costs of Corruption: A Survey and New Evidence (2005, background): “…in corruption results in an increase of income inequality up to an index of 2.9 on a scale between 0 and 6 and in a decreasing effect afterwards.8 WELSCH (2004) analyzes the influence of corruption on environmental characteristics and finds a significantly positive impact on ambient pollution,…”
• Does the Environmental Kuznets Curve Describe How Individual Countries Behave? (2004, background): “6 Welsch (2004) tests one implication of this theory and finds a strong, positive relationship between pollution and corruption when income is held constant.”
• Economic Complexity and Environmental Performance: Evidence from a World Sample (2019, background): “In other words, the total effect of corruption on environmental quality cannot be determined a priori [124].”
• Sustainability of nations by indices: Comparative study between environmental sustainability index, ecological footprint and the emergy performance indices (2008, background): “An important strength of the ESI is the presentation of all this rich information alongside the final values of the index (Jesinghaus, 2000), but as Welsch (2004) points out, in the ESI there are concerns over the quality of the data that are employed.”
