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...

How do airlines cut fuel usage, reducing their carbon emissions?
Brueckner, Jan K.; Kahn, Matthew E.; Nickelsburg, Jerry - 2023
Airline fuel consumption is costly for the firms and for society as well due to a climate-change externality. We study how fuel price changes affect cost-minimizing choices by airlines that have implications for the extent of this externality. The airline industry's capital stock can be easily...

Trend in energy intensity and carbon performance in North Africa
Gourène, Grakolet Arnold Zamereith; Hamouda, Samia Mansour - 2024
Decoupling economic growth from environmental degradation and climate change, increasing resource efficiency, and promoting both sustainable production and sustainable lifestyles is a challenge in North Africa, a region where even a relative decoupling of income growth and carbon (CO2) emissions...

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....

Time for clean energy? : cleaner fuels and women's time in home production
Afridi, Farzana; Debnath, Sisir; Dinkelman, Taryn; … - 2022
In much of the developing world, cooking accounts for most of women's time in home production. Does reliance on biomass for cooking drive this time burden? To assess time-savings from shifting towards cleaner fuels, we revisit a clean energy information experiment in rural India. Treatment...

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...
