Water abundance and an EKC for water pollution

Author

  • Thompson, Alexi

Abstract

This paper contributes to the literature on the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) by determining the effect of water abundance on an EKC for water pollution. Results indicate that water abundance greatly affects the turning point of an EKC.
