ABSTRACT Some economist believe that relatively lax environmental standards give developing countries a comparative advantage in pollution -intensive goods. This paper brings together the literature on openness and growth and on EKC curve, to demonstrate that the opposite may be true. The present study deals with the estimation of Environmental Kuznets Curve in India by using Co-Integration Analysis for the period 1985-2018. This study uses secondary data on GDP per capita, trade intensity and N2Oemission from world data indicator of world bank. The empirical finding supports the existence of Inverted 'U’ shaped relationship between environmental degradation and growth of GDP. The inclusion of trade intensity suggest that freer trade aggravates environmental damage via terms of trade, but mitigate it via income growth. |
