Using an arguably superior group fixed effects estimator, we find that the relationship between income inequality and per capita emissions depends on the level of income. We show that for low and middle-income economies, higher income inequality is associated with lower carbon emissions while in upper middle-income and high-income economies, higher income inequality increases per capita emissions. The result is robust to the inclusion of plausible transmission variables."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.ecolecon.2017.06.034"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/12980"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.title","The Trade-off Between Income Inequality and Carbon Dioxide Emissions"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Developing countries can reduce emissions and thrive only if economic growth is disentangled from energy-related emissions. Although possible in theory, the required energy-system transformation would impose considerable costs on developing nations. Developed countries could bear those costs fully, but policy design should avoid a possible 'climate rent curse', that is, a negative impact of financial inflows on recipients' economies. Mitigation measures could meet further resistance because of adverse distributional impacts as well as political economy reasons. Hence, drastically re-orienting development paths towards low-carbon growth in developing countries is not very realistic. Efforts should rather focus on 'feasible mitigation actions' such as fossil-fuel subsidy reform, decentralized modern energy and fuel switching in the power sector."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1038/nclimate2370"],["dc.identifier.uri","http://hdl.handle.net/2/14707"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation","SFB 990: Ökologische und sozioökonomische Funktionen tropischer Tieflandregenwald-Transformationssysteme (Sumatra, Indonesien)"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | C | C04: Mitigating trade-offs between economic and ecological functions and services through certification"],["dc.subject.gro","sfb990_reviews"],["dc.title","Feasible mitigation actions in developing countries"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.subtype","overview_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
