Past projections of wind-powered electricity by several organizations including Energy Information Administration have been too conservative in the past. We generate alternative projections for China, the U.S., India, Canada, Japan and South Korea and compare them against the projections made by...

The relationship between size of cities and energy use and carbon dioxide emissions has become an important research topic with the accelerated urbanizations. Results from previous empirical analyses have diverged greatly on the relationship between population and carbon emissions. In this...

Countries’ energy intensity levels are known to converge at both the world and the regional levels. We test convergence in energy intensity for the world using a more recent and larger data set: a 152-country sample during the period of 1980-2010. Furthermore, we use income, population and...

This research examines the existence of urban safety advantage versus penalty among 49 to 42 large cities. Each city is scored across four main categories of safety: digital security, health security, infrastructure safety, and personal safety for the year of 2015. Total group of cities is...

A projection of future carbon emission is a vital input in influencing climate change for the world as well as for individual country and region. We provide alternative projections of future carbon dioxide emission and compare our projections with those from the International Energy Outlook...
