Abstract

This paper investigates the dynamic performance of air pollution in Spain from 1960 to 2010. First, we evaluate the relationship between economic growth and pollution through the Environmental Kuznets Curve. Second, we test the hypothesis of regional convergence in air pollution intensity from 1995 to 2010, in order to analyse whether regional taxes intended to abate emissions have been effective. For the first issue, our results show that a quadratic relationship is satisfied, but an out-of-sample turning point is generated. For the second, regional convergence is rejected, although those regions which haveimplemented a pollution tax seem to perform differently.

空气排放性能:西班牙的动态分析

本文研究了1960 - 2010年西班牙空气污染的动态表现。首先，我们通过环境库兹涅茨曲线来评估经济增长与污染之间的关系。其次，我们检验了1995 - 2010年空气污染强度的区域趋同假设，以分析旨在减少排放的区域税收是否有效。对于第一个问题，我们的结果表明满足二次关系，但产生了样本外转折点。第二，区域趋同被拒绝，尽管那些实施污染税的地区似乎表现不同。
