dc.description.abstract | A set of 17-year panel data (1996–2013) across a representative sample from eighteen Latin
American countries is used to respond four research questions: Did Latin American Greenhouse Gas
(GHG) emissions prove the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis? Did the quality of
institutions play a compensating role for income on environmental stress? Did technological progress
help decouple income from environmental stress? Has the Pollution Haven Hypothesis (PHH) been
proven? In order to answer the research questions, the paper expands the traditional EKC approach
by including an exclusive quality analysis of institutions, technological progress, and PHH as part
of the model. This innovation is developed considering the most recent literature about EKC as a
starting point. Major findings show that the relationship between income and GHG emissions is
adjusted to the traditional EKC hypothesis for the analyzed period. They also show that the quality of
institutions and technological progress improve environmental sustainability. However, the variables,
Foreign Direct Investment and International Trade, provide a negative answer to the fourth question.
The main methodological contribution of this paper is to use a threefold extended classic EKC model
to conduct the feasible generalized least squares method. The paper also contributes to the growing
body of PHH literature. | es |
