Abstract: This article examines the spatial distribution of per capita carbon dioxide emissions in 140 countries during the period 1960 to 1999. To overcome the methodological limitations of conventional convergence analysis, we have applied a nonparametric approach, which allows to study the dynamics of the entire cross section distribution. The results show that the probability mass concentrated around the average has increased over time, which helps to explain the observed reduction in cross-country disparities. In any event, the intra-distribution mobility level is relatively low.
