| Abstract: | In this paper, the authors attempt to fill this gap in the literature by examining whether emissions converged among the industrialized countries. To accomplish this task, the authors perform a battery of convergence tests on country-level emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2). First, the authors use familiar cross-sectional regression tests, conditional on income and other variables, to test for emissions convergence across twenty-one industrial countries for the 1960-1997. Second the authors deploy the panel unit root test recently developed by Im, Pesaran and Shin to examine emission convergence in a time series framework. Overall, the authors find significant evidence that CO2 emissions have converged. |
