Understanding Long-Term Energy Use and Carbon Dioxide Emissions in the Usa

Tol, Richard S.J.; Pacala, Stephen W.; Socolow, Robert - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2006

We compile a database of energy uses, energy sources, and carbon dioxide emissions for the USA for the period 1850-2002. We use a model to extrapolate the missing observations on energy use by sector. Overall emission intensity rose between 1850 and 1917, and fell between 1917 and 2002. The...
