Understanding the relationship between income inequality and carbon dioxide emissions: the Canadian contextConrad, Noah O. 05 December 2022 (has links)
This thesis examines the evolution of income inequality in Canada from 1997 to 2019 through
the Gini coefficient and the share of income of the top 10% of income earners. These metrics are
then used to evaluate whether there are any associations between income inequality and CO2
emissions. The results reveal that the Gini coefficient is negatively associated with CO2
emissions; however, no definitive conclusions can be drawn about the effect of income share.
The implications of the results for the effect of economic policies (i.e., redistributive) on national
climate commitments are then discussed. / Graduate
