It shows that nighttime lighting is an important variable for estimating carbon dioxide emissions that is superior to other existing indicators and covers all countries in the world, finding evidence of an inverted-U shaped relationship between light and, thus, greenhouse gas emissions and income, with a turning point at approximately US$50,000. However, the relationship is primarily driven by changes in the structure of international trade, implying strong carbon leakage effects. - Replication files for main tables.This paper (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1017/S1355770X17000249) studies the effect of carbon leakage on the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) using satellite nighttime light data.
