Financial inclusion and threshold effects in carbon emissions

Cheikh, Nidhaleddine Ben; Rault, Christophe - 2024

While the financial inclusion would induce greater pollutant emissions through its impact of economic activity, the increased access to financial services may unleash investments in green technologies. This papier investigates whether the financial inclusion influences the dynamic of carbon...

Low emission zones for better health : evidence from German hospitals

Pestel, Nico; Wozny, Florian - 2019

This paper studies health effects from restricting the access of high-emission vehicles to innercities by implementing Low Emission Zones. For identification, we exploit variation in the timing and the spatial distribution of the introduction of new Low Emission Zones across cities in Germany....

Energy consumption, economic growth and CO2 emissions in Middle East and North African countries

Arouri, Mohamed; Youssef, Adel Ben; M'henni, Hatem; … - 2012

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...

The effect of renewable energy development on carbon emission reduction : an empirical analysis for the EU-15 countries

Abolhosseini, Shahrouz; Heshmati, Almas; Altmann, Jörn - 2014

The increased concerns about climate change have made renewable energy sources an important topic of research. Several scholars have applied different methodologies to examine the relationships between energy consumption and economic growth of individual and groups of countries and to analyze...

Something from nothing : estimating consumption rates using propensity scores, with application to emissions reduction policies

Bardsley, Nicholas; Büchs, Milena; Schnepf, Sylke V. - 2016

Consumption surveys often record zero purchases of a good because of a short observation window. Only mean consumption rates can then be inferred. We show that propensity scores can be used to estimate each unit's consumption rate, revealing the distribution. We demonstrate the method using the...

An empirical study of the relationships between CO2 emissions, economic growth and openness

Choi, Eunho; Heshmati, Almes; Cho, Yongsung - 2010

This paper investigates the existence of the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) for carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and its causal relationships with economic growth and openness by using time series data (1971-2006) from China (an emerging market), Korea (a newly industrialized country), and...

Timing matters: shifting economic activity and intra-day variation in ambient ozone concentrations

Adler, David; Severnini, Edson R. - 2020

Ground-level ozone has been shown to have significant health consequences from short-term exposure, and as such has been regulated in the U.S. since the 1970s by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Ozone is not emitted directly; instead formation occurs due to a complex, Leontief-like...

City size, pollution and emission policies

Pflüger, Michael - 2018

This paper develops a micro-founded city systems model with an endogenous number of cities to explore whether local governments establish the optimal city size when production processes involve environmental pollution. Our analysis delivers two key insights. First, if an optimal scheme to...
