Title: EU Polluting Emissions: an empirical analysis
Abstract: We provide an empirical study of the evolution of emissions of some specific air pollutants on
	a panel of EU member states from 1990 to 2000, and we relate observed patterns to macroeconomic
	performance. The ratio pollution emission to GDP, so-called emission intensity, has decreased over
	the period considered in most EU member states. However, a non-parametric analysis reveals
	that the relative positions of different countries in terms of GDP growth and reduction of emissions
	have remained basically unchanged. More specifically, remarkable differences can be detected between the 
	richest and the poorest EU members notwithstanding. Also, more dispersion in emissions levels can be 
	found in those countries with lower per capita GDP.
