What drives carbon emissions in German manufacturing : scale, technique or composition?
Rottner, Elisa; Graevenitz, Kathrine von - 2021
Carbon emissions from German manufacturing have increased over the past decade, while carbon intensity (emissions per Euro of gross output) has declined only slightly. We decompose changes in emissions between 2005 and 2017 into scale, composition (changes in the mix of goods produced) and...

Employment changes in environmentally innovative firms
Rennings, Klaus; Ziegler, Andreas; Zwick, Thomas - 2001
This paper analyses the determinants of employment reactions in-duced by environmental innovations. On the basis of the parameter estimates of the Multinomial Logit and of several Multinomial Probit Models, we show that we have to distinguish between the factors that have an impact on employment...

What drives carbon emissions in German manufacturing : scale, technique or composition?
Rottner, Elisa; Graevenitz, Kathrine von - 2022 - This version: August 26, 2022
Drastic emission reductions are necessary to combat climate change. However, despite several climate policies, carbon emissions from German manufacturing have actually increased between 2005 and 2017. In this paper, we provide evidence of how the policy mix overall has affected the German...
