| Abstract: | Most research estimating environmental Kuznets curves (EKCs) assume that countries' per capita emissions are unaffected by events in neighbouring states. Using a panel of sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds and carbon monoxide emissions, a conventional EKC is augmented by spatially weighted values of the dependent and independent variables. National emissions per capita of sulphur dioxide and nitirogen oxides are found to be heavily incluenced by the emissions per capita of neighbouring countries. Evidence is also found that national emissions per capita of nitrogen oxides are decreased by proximity to high per capita income countries which is inconsistent with nations achieving higher environmental quality at the expense of their neighbours. |
