| Abstract: | The authors find that the distribution of income matters to aggregate carbon dioxide emissions and hence global warming. Higher inequality ,both between and within countries is associated with lower carbon emissions at given average incomes. The authors also confirm that economic growth generally comes with higher emissions. That authors' results suggest that trade-offs exist between climate control and both social equity and economic growth. The authors approve the fact that economic growth improves the trade off with equity, and lower inequality improve the trade off with growth. By combining growth with equity, more pro-poor growth processes yield better long-term trajectories of carbon emissions. |
