Revisiting the Environmental Kuznets Curve in a Global Economy (2013, background): “Similarly; Wagner [5] pointed out that the data on per capita CO2 emissions and per capita GDP are not stationary in time series framework and this problem is not sufficiently addressed in literature.”
Cointegration Testing in Panels with Common Factors (2006, methodology): “Wagner and Müller-Fürstenberger (2004) use similar ideas in an empirical study of the Kuznets curve. (6)A similar set-up is retained by Westerlund (2005) who proposes Durbin–Hausman tests for cointegration in panels.”
Is there an environmental Kuznets curve for Spain? Fresh evidence from old data (2012, background): “More recently, new empirical studies have been developed using state-of-the-art panel cointegration techniques (Wagner, 2008) and individual time series (He and Richard, 2010).”
Exploring the Environmental Kuznets Hypothesis. Theoretical and Econometric Problems (2007, background): “In the companion paper Wagner and Müller-Fürstenberger (2004) we present an econometric analysis that takes into account the two mentioned major problems and find no support for a CKC (using the same data as here).”
