Corruption and Energy Efficiency in OECD Countries: Theory and Evidence (2004, background): “See also López and Mitra (2000) and Damania et al. (2002) for similar formulations.”
Decentralization and Environmental Quality: An International Analysis of Water Pollution (2007, background): “Third, studies have found that corruption plays an important role in environmental outcomes (Welsh, 2004; Damania et al., 2003) and that decentralization or federalism is a source of corruption (Fisman and Gatti, 2002; Treisman, 2000).”
Environmental Regulation and French Firms Location Abroad: An Economic Geography Model in an International Comparative Study (2012, unknown): “Damania et al. (2003) have previously used the lead content in gasoline to represent the stringency of environmental policy, and they recall that this variable had also been used by Deacon (1999) and Hilton and Levinson (1998) to proxy the environmental regulation in other kinds of studies.”
The limits of democracy in tackling climate change (2018, background): “In a corrupt state, laws are rarely followed and policies simply do not get implemented (López and Mitra 2000, Damania et al. 2003).”
Liberal democracy and sustainability (2008, unknown): “While bringing in the time dimension would help (Damania et al. 2003), data limitations force me to adopt a cross-sectional approach with variables measured as close to 2000 as possible.”
Corruption, growth, and the environment: a cross-country analysis (2004, background): “On the one hand, corruption may reduce the stringency of environmental regulation (Lopez and Mitra, 2000; Damania et al., 2000) or the effectiveness with which environmental regulation is enforced (Hafner, 1998; Lippe, 1999), thus leading to higher pollution.”
Social Capital and National Environmental Performance: A Cross-Sectional Analysis (2004, unknown): “More recently, Damania, Fredriksson, and List (2003) developed a theoretical model and tested for the relationships between trade liberalization, corruption, and environmental policy formation.”
Institutionalized pollution havens (2009, methodology): “19 The first such measure considered by Damania et al. (2003) was constructed using forecasting techniques from Eliste and Fredriksson’s (2002) single-year measure of environmental policy stringency and has a correlation of -0.”
