UK Households' Carbon Footprint : A Comparison of the Association between Household Characteristics and Emissions from Home Energy, Transport and Other Goods and Services

Buchs, Milena - 2014

Does the association between household characteristics and household CO2 emissions differ for different areas such as home energy, transport, indirect and total emissions in the UK? Specific types of households might be more likely to have high emissions in some areas than in others and thus be...

Energy Consumption, Economic Growth and CO2 Emissions in Middle East and North African Countries

Arouri, Mohamed - 2014

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...

An Empirical Study of the Relationships Between CO2 Emissions, Economic Growth and Openness

Choi, Eunho - 2014

its causal relationships with economic growth and openness by using time series data (1971-2006) from China (an emerging … characteristics, the estimated EKC show different temporal patterns. China shows an N-shaped curve while Japan has a U-shaped curve … it represents an inverted U-shaped curve, while China shows a U-shaped curve. We also analyze the dynamic relationships …

Population Growth and Carbon Emissions

Casey, Gregory P. - 2016

We provide evidence that lower fertility can simultaneously increase income per capita and lower carbon emissions, eliminating a trade-off central to most policies aimed at slowing global climate change. We estimate the effect of lower fertility on carbon emissions accounting for the fact that...

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...

The Effect of Renewable Energy Development on Carbon Emission Reduction : An Empirical Analysis for the EU-15 Countries

Abolhosseini, Shahrouz - 2015

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...

Defensive Investments and the Demand for Air Quality : Evidence from the Nox Budget Program and Ozone Reductions

Deschenes, Olivier - 2014

Demand for air quality depends on health impacts and defensive investments that improve health, but little research assesses the empirical importance of defenses. We study an important cap-and-trade market, which dramatically reduced NOx emissions, a key ingredient in ozone formation. A rich...

Distributional Effects of Emission Pricing in a Carbon-Intensive Economy : The Case of Poland

Antosiewicz, Marek - 2020

In this paper, we assess the distributional impact of introducing a carbon tax in Poland. We apply a two-step simulation procedure. First, we evaluate the economy-wide effects with a dynamic general equilibrium model. Second, we use a microsimulation model based on household budget survey data...

Something from Nothing : Estimating Consumption Rates Using Propensity Scores, with Application to Emissions Reduction Policies

Bardsley, Nicholas - 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...

Education Quality, Green Technology, and the Economic Impact of Carbon Pricing

Macdonald, Kevin; Patrinos, Harry A. - 2022

Carbon pricing is increasingly used by governments to reduce emissions. The effect of carbon pricing on economic outcomes as well as mitigating factors has been studied extensively since the early 1990s. One mitigating factor that has received less attention is education quality. If...
