Factoring the environmental Kuznets curve evidence from Norway
(Discussion Papers;No. 275, Working paper, 2000)The environmental Kuznets curve theory suggests that economic growth may reduce environmental problems. In this article, we analyze the changes in environmentally damaging emissions to air in Norway from 1980 to 1996. In ... -
Growth and innovation policy in a small, open economy: Should you stimulate domestic R&D or exports?
