We present an alternative decomposition technique to identify the factors which contribute to the change of aggregate CO2 emissions by using distance functions to model the joint production of desirable and undesirable outputs. The key feature of the proposed approach is the introduction of...

The economic concept of weak and strong disposability on undesirable outputs dominated the previous discussions on DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) radial measurement for environmental assessment. This study reexamines the economic concept from the perspective of corporate strategies on how to...

This paper contrasts alternate methodological approaches of investigating public preferences, the random parameter logit (RPL) where tastes and preferences of respondents are assumed to be heterogeneous and the conditional logit (CL) approach where tastes and preferences remain fixed for...

This paper evaluates the role of land in long-run climate stabilization mitigation scenarios. The details of land modeling for common stabilization policy scenarios are, for the first time, presented, contrasted, and assessed. While we find significant differences in approaches across modeling...

Climate change is likely to affect commercial forest and pasture land use and production activities. As such, behavioral responses that adapt to the new and evolving climatic conditions are also likely. Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) have an important role to play. IAMs are a unique class...

The purpose of this paper is to explore the determinants that influence the industrial firms to cooperate on carbon emission reduction (CER) within their industrial chains. And whether the CER collaborations could improve the performance of participants is another focus of our study. This paper...

As global concern about climate change increases, the need to control and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions is likely to emerge as a worldwide policy agenda. We determined world-wide carbon dioxide (CO2) emission trends and six underlying forces driving emissions from the industry sector with...

Shadow price is one of the most important pieces of information in environmental decision making. Two different approaches—namely, economic and engineering—have been applied to obtain the shadow price of undesirable outputs, while using different methodological backgrounds and perspectives....

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emission mitigation policy impacts the economic system directly in the short-term by altering relative prices and indirectly in the long-term by shifting the structure of the economy. There may also be adjustments to economic structure independent of policy intervention due...

This paper uses the computable general equilibrium model WorldScan to analyse interactions between EU's air pollution and climate change policies. Covering the entire world and seven EU countries, WorldScan simulates economic growth in a neo-classical recursive dynamic framework, including...
