| Abstract: | This paper examines the relationship between countries' propensity to emit chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) and income per capita. The main part of the analysis uses dynamic estimation methods on a panel of CFC production. In contrast to static analyses, the paper finds statistically significant quadratic relationship btw. income and CFC production. This reinforces the trend observed in other papers that global pollutants have higher critical income levels than local or urban pollutants. In addition, in the absence of any international agreement, CFC production in the poorest countries would ensure that there is a substantial rise in global production over the next 50 years. |
