Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper examines the impact of economic development on carbon dioxide emissions between 1980 and 2004. In pooled cross-sectional analyses of 94 countries, I find that the relationship between per capita CO2 emissions and gross domestic product (GDP) takes the inverted-U shape predicted by modernization theory. Because the turning point level of GDP is very high, however, increases in GDP remain associated with increases in CO2 emissions across most of the range of observed values. Net of income, the size of the agricultural sector relative to the manufacturing sector is negatively associated with carbon dioxide emissions in more- and less-developed countries alike. Regression results also show that domestic energy resources contribute significantly to an explanation of cross-national differences in carbon dioxide emissions. Contrary to the pollution haven hypothesis, exports have no significant effect on CO2 emissions in either more- or less-developed countries.
