Resumo(s)
We provide a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and
GDP in Brazil using both aggregate and state-level data. The trend or Kuznets elasticity is about 0.8 for
Brazil, higher than that in advanced countries but below that of major emerging markets. The elasticity is
somewhat higher for consumption-based emissions than for production-based emissions, providing
evidence against the “pollution haven” hypothesis. Additional evidence comes from state-level data
analysis where one can observe a great deal of heterogeneity but also some hope as far as decoupling is
concerned. In addition to the trend relationship between emissions and output, we find that there does not
seem to exist a cyclical relationship holding in Brazil at the aggregate level (despite having become more
procyclical over time), but it does exist in a few states.
