We augment the existing knowledge on role of economic complexity in environment and sustainable development debate by examining effect environmental degradation (measured ecological footprint, CO2 emissions, N2O emissions greenhouse gas emissions) contingent income, using data from 35 OECD countries between 1998 2017. With fixed effects model estimator, we find that income facilitates to mitiga...
