Estimating the Environmental Pollution Index from Stochastic Cost Frontier Models and Analysis of Impact Factors
2016
Journal of Environmental Policy and Administration
This study examines the relationship between the environmental pollution index and income levels of 176 countries for 2011. First, we employ a stochastic cost frontier analysis to measure the global environmental pollution index. Second, we use Tobit regression to examine the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis.
