Will Skycrapers Save the Planet? Building Height Limits and Urban Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Borck, Rainald - 2021
This paper studies the effectiveness of building height limits as a policy to limit greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It shows that building height limits lead to urban sprawl and higher emissions from commuting. On the other hand, aggregate housing consumption may decrease which reduces emissions...

Kyoto and Carbon Leakage : An Empirical Analysis of the Carbon Content of Bilateral Trade
Aichele, Rahel; Felbermayr, Gabriel J. - 2021
Has the Kyoto Protocol induced carbon leakage? We conduct the first empirical ex-post evaluation of the Protocol. We derive a theoretical gravity equation for the CO2 content of trade, which accounts for intermediate inputs, both domestic and imported. The structure of our new panel database of...

Can a Unilateral Carbon Tax Reduce Emissions Elsewhere?
Elliott, Joshua - 2013
One country that tries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions may fear that other countries get a competitive advantage and increase emissions (“leakage”). Estimates from computable general equilibrium (CGE) models such as Elliott et al (2010a,b) indicate that 15% to 25% of abatement might be...

Supply Side Climate Policy and the Green Paradox
Hoel, Michael - 2013
The focus of the green paradox literature has been either on demand-side climate policies or on effects of technological changes. The present paper addresses the question of whether there also might be some kind of green paradox related to supply-side policies, i.e. policies that per-manently...

Strategic Approaches to CO2 Emissions - The Case of the Cement Industry and of the Chemical Industry
Arjaliès, Diane-Laure - 2014
The ability of companies to turn an environmental constraint into a source of strategic opportunities is a controversial topic in published research. The article, which is based on a comparative study of the CO2 emission reduction strategies implemented by the cement and chemical industries,...

Carbon Emissions Scenarios in Europe Based on an Endogenous Growth Model
Ciesielski, Anna - 2014
Carbon dioxide emissions are a major force driving climate change. We construct scenarios of CO2 emissions from fossil energy until 2100 in Europe. Major innovations are first that economic growth is based on an endogenous economic growth model and second that we calibrate our model to...

Energy Consumption, Economic Growth and CO2 Emissions in Middle East and North African Countries
Arouri, Mohamed El Hedi; Ben Youssef, Adel; M'Henni, Hatem - 2021
This article extends the recent findings of Liu (2005), Ang (2007), Apergis et al. (2009) and Payne (2010) by implementing recent bootstrap panel unit root tests and cointegration techniques to investigate the relationship between carbon dioxide emissions, energy consumption, and real GDP for 12...
