Resumen
Descripción
This study utilized a semiparametric panel model to estimate environmental Kuznets curves
(EKC) for carbon dioxide (CO2) in 15 Latin American countries, using hitherto unused data on
forestry acreage in each country. Results showed an N-shaped curve for the region; however,
the shape of the curve is sensitive to the removal of some groups of countries. Specification
tests support a semiparametric panel model over a parametric quadratic specification.
