Recently many researchers started to study the relationship between economic growthand pollution. Two distinct approaches followed from these studies: the EnvironmentalKuznets Curve (EKC) and the convergence of emissions. In this context, Brock and Taylor(2010) built a model that makes a bridge between both methodologies, as convergenceof emissions implies the EKC. The purpose of this paper is to estimate the EKC (in atraditional way) and the model proposed by Brock and Taylor (2010) in order to verify ifthe results reinforce each other. The estimates of the curve were sensitive to the modelchosen. The estimates of the model pointed to evidence of conditional convergence ofper capita emissions and of the EKC.
