Since the early nineties, the debate on these relationships has been strongly influenced by the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis,which states that during the first stage of economic development environmental pressures increase as per capita income increases, but once a critical turning-point has been reached these pressures diminish as income levels continue to increase. However, to date such a delinking between economic growth and emission levels has not happened for most atmospheric pollutants in Spain. The aim of this paper is to analyse the relationship between income growth and nine atmospheric pollutants in Spain. In order to obtain empirical outcomes for this analysis, we adopt an input-output approach and use NAMEA data for the nine pollutants. First, we undertake a structural decomposition analysis for the period 1995-2000 to estimate the contribution of various factors to changes in the levels of atmospheric emissions. And second, we estimate the emissions associated with the consumption patterns of different groups of households classified according to their level of expenditure Creixement econòmic Contaminació atmosfèrica Anàlisi d'entrada/sortida Economic growth Atmospheric pollution Input-output analysis Income growth and atmospheric pollution in Spain: an input-output approach
