Carbon Emissions and Economic Growth: Homogeneous Causality in Heterogeneous Panels
Maddison, David; Rehdanz, Katrin - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 2008
This paper introduces the concept of homogeneous non-causality in heterogeneous panels. This concept is used to examine a panel of data for evidence of a causal relationship between GDP and carbon emissions. The technique is compared to the standard test for homogeneous non-causality in...

The Use of CCS in Global Carbon Management: Simulation with the DICE Model
Narita, Daiju - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 2008
This study attempts a numerical simulation of potential CCS (carbon dioxide capture and storage) use by using a modified version of the DICE (Dynamic Integrated model on Climate and Economy) model (Nordhaus, 1994; Nordhaus and Boyer, 2000). In DICE, CO2 emissions are controlled to the extent in...

Foreign ownership structure, technology upgrading and exports: Evidence from Chinese firms
Girma, Surafel; Gong, Yundan; Görg, Holger; Lancheros, … - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 2012
We examine the role of foreign ownership structure in stimulating technology and skill upgrading, and exporting in Chinese manufacturing firms that were taken over by foreign owners. The analysis considers the period 2001 to 2007. We use a propensity score reweighted least squares estimation to...
