Abstract: A simple theoretical model of pollution is developed that generates an inverted U-shape relationship between per capita income and environmental quality. This model is then used to study long-run growth. The same inverted U-shape is shown to appear in time series and the prospects for sustained growth are shown to hinge on whether increasingly strict environmental regulation is compatible with a constant rate of return on capital. Implementation is also studied. Tax and voucher schemes are shown to have an advantage over direct regulation because they provide the correct incentives for capital accumulation.

Environmental Latecomer's Effects in Chinese Provinces
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined whether regional latecomers enjoy the spillover effects of nationwide progress in environmental management and technology, or stay behind from environmental progress, or even suffer the "pollution heaven" effects through the relocation of polluters towards those regions, using the analytical framework of the environmental Kuznets curve.
