| Tiivistelmä: | In the recent special issue of Ecological Economics devoted to the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis Rothman speculates that: "what appear to be improvements in environmental quality may in reality be indicators of increased ability of consumers in wealthy nations to distance themselves from the environmental degradation associated with the consumption". Consistent with Rothman's general hypothesis of 'distancing' as a possible source of EKC results, this empirical study advances and tests a line of argument in which internal migration plays a central explanatory role for an observed EKC for US hazardous waste sites. |
