Based on a substantially larger data set (in both regional and temporal coverage) than the
existing literature, we investigate the theoretically ambiguous link between income inequality
and per capita emissions using cross-country panel data. We find that the relationship depends
on the level of income. Using an arguably superior group-fixed effects estimator, we show that
for low and middle-income economies, higher income inequality is associated with lower carbon
emissions while in upper middle-income and high-income economies, higher income inequality
increases per capita emissions. The result is robust to the inclusion of plausible transmission
variables as well as different data sources or aggregations. [-]
