“…The political economy approach holds that inequality harms economic growth through social instability (Alesina & Perotti, 1996) and credit market imperfections (Galor & Zeira, 1993). Both approaches find empirical support (Delbianco, Dabús & Caraballo, 2014;Lee & Son, 2016, and references therein). An increasing empirical literature shows that the inequality-growth relationship can be either positive or negative, depending on the different scenarios considered or on the properties of the distribution of income (Voitchovsky, 2005;Delbianco et al, 2014;Lee & Son, 2016).…”

The relationship between income inequality and economic growth is estimated using dynamic panel estimation on a sample covering 112 emerging countries for the period 1980–2014. The results show that income inequality has a positive influence on economic growth for richer countries, in line with the classic theory, and a negative effect for poorer countries, as argued by the political economy approach.

“…The ECK is considered as the relationship between economic growth and environment and is one of the most heavily debated issues within environmental economics [20][21][22][23][24]. This curve represents a reduced form that conceals other phenomena such as technology, product composition, environmental regulations, or demands of society [21,25,26].…”

In the present investigation, an analysis of the impact of economic growth on the environment during the period 1971-2015 in Ecuador was made. The hypothesis of the environmental Kuznets curve was used as a study tool. We estimated this relationship in a country with strong dependence on revenues from the exploitation of natural resources and a low level of industry participation in gross domestic product (GDP). To generate empirical evidence, the methodology of the third degree Almon polynomial was applied with three lags in time. The variables were examined by informal econometric tests such as graphs of time series, stationarity, and seasonality as well as formal differences such as Dickey Fuller to check the effectiveness of their contribution in the research. Finally, the results reveal a direct, positive relationship in the short term between economic growth and CO 2 emissions. The confirmation of the hypothesis opens the door to the discussion of optimal conditions of production while minimizing pollution, which is a dilemma that states face since they require a way to produce while maintaining a healthy and balanced environment.

This paper investigated the dynamic relationship among the per capita national income, energy consumption and environmental pollution based on the ARDL model for Liaoning Province. The results of the ARDL model estimation did not clearly confirm the EKC hypothesis that the relationship between economic growth and environmental pollution was inverted U-shaped, but it was estimated that is likely to be the case. The long-run results indicate energy consumption has a positive and significant impact on environmental pollution. The impact of energy consumption on the environmental pollution emissions showed a significant positive relationship at the 5% level, and 1% increase in the energy consumption will lead to 0.77% increase in the environmental pollution emissions. CUSUM and CUSUMSQ tests results show that all coefficients of the model are stable.
