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...

Exploring the causality links between energy and employment in African countries
Arouri, Mohamed; BenYoussef, Adel; M'henni, Hatem; … - 2014
Using a bootstrap panel analysis that allows for cross-country dependence, without requiring the use of pre-tests for a unit root, we study the causality links between energy use and employment for a sample of 16 African countries over the 1991-2010 period (according to availability of...

Energy consumption and health outcomes in Africa
BenYoussef, Adel; Lannes, Laurence; Rault, Christophe; … - 2016
We examine causal links between energy consumption and health indicators (Mortality rate under-5, life expectancy, greenhouse effect, and government expenditure per capita) for a sample of 16 African countries over the period 1971-2010 (according to availability of countries' data). We use the...

Green cities? : urbanization, trade and the environment
Borck, Rainald; Pflüger, Michael - 2015
This paper establishes a simple theoretical framework which comprises key forces that shape the structure and interrelation of cities to study the interdependencies between urban evolution and the environment. We focus on the potential of the unfettered market forces to economize on emissions. A...

City size, pollution and emission policies
Pflüger, Michael - 2018
governments establish the optimal city size when production processes involve environmental pollution. Our analysis delivers two … key insights. First, if an optimal scheme to regulate environmental pollution is implemented, cities chosen by local … governments are never too large. They are too small if pollution is purely global, but at the optimal size, if pollution is purely …
