This paper begins with a statistical formulation of the E nvironmental K uznets C urve ( EKC ) and discusses the major econometric problems raised in the literature in testing this hypothesis using panel data. A simple t ‐test is then presented that avoids these econometric problems. The result from applying the t ‐test confirms conclusively the EKC for CO 2 as formulated.
