The role of education in the Environmental Kuznets Curve. Evidence from Australian data (2018, background): “…part of research has been devoted to improve the estimates by introducing in the model specification new variables such as income inequality or indicators of energy use among others (e.g., Torras and Boyce, 1998; Heil and Selden, 2001; Richmond and Kaufmann, 2006; Baek and Gweisah, 2013).”
Income inequality, human capital, natural resource abundance, and ecological footprint in ECOWAS member countries (2021, unknown): “From an autoregressive distributive lag (ARDL) approach, Baek and Gweisah (2013) observed that income inequality stimulates CO 2 emissions in US.”
The inequality-emissions nexus in the context of trade and development: A quantile regression approach (2017, background): “Likewise, Baek and Gweisah (2013) find that higher equality reduces CO2 emissions in the short- and long-term in the United States.”
Income inequality and carbon consumption: Evidence from Environmental Engel curves (2019, background): “Baek and Gweisah (2013) find a positive association between income inequality (measured as Gini index) and per capita CO2 emissions in the United States for different years between 1967-2008.”
The Trade-off Between Income Inequality and Carbon Dioxide Emissions (2017, background): “Finally, Fourth, Baek and Gweisah (2013) use an autoregressive distributed lag specification and U.S. data to find that income inequality is negatively associated with short and long run per capita carbon emissions. and Boyce (1998) and Borghesi (2006), others argue that greater inequality could…”
