The Environmental Kuznets Curve Under a New framework: Role of Social Capital in Water Pollution

The Environmental Kuznets Curve Under a New framework:

Role of Social Capital in Water Pollution

Abstract

We advance a case for an inclusion of social capital in the environmental Kuznets curve
analysis using highly disaggregated data on water pollution in Louisiana. A social capital
index and other variables are used in parametric and spatial panel regression models to
explain water pollution dynamics.

Keywords : social capital, principal component analysis, environmental Kuznets curve,
spatial regression
