• The environmental Kuznets curve in Indonesia: Exploring the potential of renewable energy (2016, background): “EKC opponents further argue that this turning point may go even higher because industrial societies continuously create new pollutants that will prevent the curve from declining (Dasgupta et al., 2002).”
• Environmental Kuznets Curve Hypothesis: A Survey (2004, background): “, should help to reduce pollution (Dasgupta et al., 2002).”
• Empirical Analysis of National Income and SO2 Emissions in Selected European Countries (2006, background): “Dasgupta et al. (2002) state three reasons why richer countries tend to have stricter pollution regulations: (i) pollution damage becomes a higher priority once the society has completed basic investments in health and education; (ii) higher income countries can afford to hire more technical…”
• Carbon Dioxide Emissions and Economic Growth: An Assessment Based on Production and Consumption Emission Inventories (2017, background): “Indeed, it suggests that CO2 emissions per capita may increase as income per capita rises (see, e.g., Dasgupta et al., 2002 and Stern, 2004 and 2015).”
• Environmental Impacts of Infrastructure Development under the Belt and Road Initiative (2019, background): “Although the evidence and theory behind the environmental Kuznets curve is highly contentious [123–126], evidence suggests that environmental policies, clean technology and economic liberalisation can help to flatten the Kuznets curve [127,128].”
• Reversal in the Trend of Global Anthropogenic Sulfur Emissions (2005, background): “emissions of some pollutants are already falling in East Asia, particularly in China, partly as a result of explicit environmental policies (Dasgupta et al., 2002; Stern, 2004), will eventually have to result in a change in the attitude that only wealthy countries can make environmental improvements”

• The environmental Kuznets curve for US counties: A spatial econometric analysis with extensions (2004, background): “Dasgupta et al. (2002) point out that pollution has declined in rich as well as poor countries over time as a result of economic liberalisation, cleaner technology and regulation.”
