摘要

摘要本文的目的是研究环境退化的社会经济决定因素。实证研究采用分位数回归，可以对不同水平的因变量进行单独的预测。这项研究在1995年至2019年期间调查了来自低收入、中等收入和一些高收入国家的62个国家。利用分位数回归分析经济增长与碳排放的关系，对上述国家的环境库兹涅茨曲线(EKC)进行了验证。该研究还表明，受教育率会增加污染。除了降低贸易开放、民主和经济自由变量对环境退化的影响外，还观察到出生时预期寿命的相反影响，加剧了环境退化。在此背景下，本文的结论是EKC假说不被支持。政府应该鼓励中低收入国家采取减少污染的政策。

Socio-economic determinants of environmental degradation: Empirical evidence for the Environmental Kuznets Curve

Abstract The aim of the paper is to examine socio-economic determinants of environmental degradation. The empirical study employs quantile regression which enables separate predictions for different levels of the dependent variable to be made. This study investigated 62 countries from low, middle and some high income countries for 1995–2019. The Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) is verified for the aforemented countries in analyzing the relationship between economic growth and carbon emissions using quantile regression. The study also revealed that the schooling rate has a pollution-increasing effect. In addition to the reducing effects of trade openness, democracy, and economic freedom variables on environmental degradation, the opposite effect of life expectancy at birth is observed, increasing environmental degradation. In this context, this paper concluded that the EKC hypothesis is not supported. The government should encourage pollution-reducing policies in low and middle income countries.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
