摘要：

Richer households may create more vehicle emissions because they own more vehicles and drive more. Poorer households may pollute more because they use high polluting vintages and maintain them less well. This paper uses 1993 California vehicle microdata to show that there is a 'Kuznets U' shaped hydrocarbon emissions relation. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A.
