Environment and development: is there a Kuznets curve for CO2 emissions? (2009, methodology): “…of papers have studied the robustness of the basic quadratic model to alternative functional forms, with the semiparametric techniques proposed by Millimet et al. (2003) being the last econometric tool used to test the existence of the EKC.3 The purpose of this article is to test the inverted…”
Environmental Kuznets Curves for Co2: Heterogeneity Versus Homogeneity (2005, methodology): “Taking into account that in finite samples the test statistic might be skewed to the left (see also Millimet et al. (2003)), this clearly indicates rejection of the null hypothesis.”
Does rising income increase or decrease damage risk from natural disasters (2008, background): “…the shape postulated for economic development and income inequality (Kuznets, 1955; Jha, 1996, or List and Gallet, 1999), and also to that postulated for economic development and environmental quality (Grossman and Krueger, 1995; Hettige et al., 2000; Dasgupta et al., 2002; Millimet et al., 2003).”
The Carbon Kuznets Curve: A Cloudy Picture Emitted by Bad Econometrics? (2008, methodology): “For non-parametric EKC approaches (see e.g. Millimet, List, and Stengos, 2003), semi-parametric approaches (see e.g. Bertinelli and Strobl, 2005) or versions based on spline interpolation (see e.g. Schmalensee, Stoker, and Judson, 1998).”
The Rise and Fall of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (2004, methodology): “Millimet, List, and Stengos (2003) use a different strategy to test the robustness of the parametric EKC––comparing it to semi-parametric curves estimated using the same dataset for US states used by List and Gallet (1999).”
Environmental Kuznets Curves for Carbon Emissions: A Critical Survey (2009, neutral): “8 This is the same data used by Millimet et al (2003) and Aslanidis and Xepapadeas (2006).”
Environmental Kuznets Curve for CO2 in Canada (2010, methodology): “Notice that Millimet et al. (2003) have employed this model on a state-level panel data set of the United State and overwhelmingly rejected the parametric approach.”
Estimation of environmental Kuznets curve for SO2 emission: A case of Indian cities (2017, result): “…data 4 (Selden and Song, 1994; Shafik, 1994; Grossman and Krueger, 1995; Kaufmann et al., 1998; 5 List and Gallet, 1999; Harbaugh et al., 2002; Millimet et al., 2003; Galeotti et al., 2006; Soytas et 6 al., 2007; Apergis and Payne, 2010; Al Sayed and Sek, 2013) and all of these studies are…”
Institutionalized pollution havens (2009, background): “However, following the literature on the environmental Kuznets curve (see, for example, Millimet et al. 2003), the marginal effect of both GDP and URBsh may be diminishing.”
The CO2-Growth nexus revisited: A nonparametric analysis for G7 economies over nearly two centuries (2017, positive): “4 Millimet et al. (2003) explore the importance of modelling strategies when estimating the emissions-income relationship and overwhelmingly reject the parametric EKC modelling approach.”
