영문 초록

Several recent studies have identified inverted-U relationship between pollution and economic growth. This hypothesis is tested using a korean cross-local data on emission of five important air pollution : sulfer dioxide, oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, hydrogen carbon, total suspended particulate. The result is that emissions of two pollutants of sulfur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen have inverted-U relationships with Gross Regional Product. The curve for oxides of nitrogen has turning point at 41 to 45 trillion won of GRP. The curve for sulfur dioxide has it at 35 to 38 trillion won. This in part suggests that as a local economy continues to develop, the trend of reducing environmental quality may be reversed.
