摘要：

We argue that a key empirical finding in environmental economics-the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC)-and the core model of modern macroeconomics-the Solow model-are intimately related. Once we amend the Solow model to incorporate technological progress in abatement, the EKC is a necessary by product of convergence to a sustainable growth path. We explain why current methods for estimating an EKC are likely to fail; provide an alternative empirical method directly tied to our theory; and estimate our model on carbon emissions from 173 countries over the 1960-1998 period.
