Economic structure and environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis: new evidence from economic complexity

Abstract

This paper sheds further lights on the environmental Kuznets curve literature by considering a new possible driving factor of environmental quality, the economic complexity. The results consistently show that there exists an inverted U-shaped relationship between economic complexity and CO2 emissions.
