摘要

经济自由是否以及如何与环境破坏相关联仍是一个未决问题。因此，在本文中，我将温室气体排放和人均 GDP 数据与世界经济自由度指数相结合，检验经济自由是否会影响排放。在估算标准环境库兹涅茨曲线时，经济自由既能降低总体水平，也能改变曲线的形状。结果表明，经济自由会减少温室气体排放，但也会使库兹涅茨曲线的顶点向左移动。

Economic freedom and the greenhouse gas Kuznets curve

If and how economic freedom is associated with environmental damage remains an open question. In this paper, I therefore combine data on greenhouse gas emissions and GDP per capita with the Economic Freedom of the World indices to test if economic freedom affects emissions. I do so in the context of estimating a standard Environmental Kuznets Curve in which economic freedom can both reduce overall levels as well as shift the shape of the curve. The results suggest that economic freedom reduces greenhouse gas emissions but also shifts the top point of the Kuznets Curve to the left.
