Intensity and the importance of country level differences: An analysis of the relationship between per capita emissions and population density
Longden, Thomas - 2015
Previous studies have found an inverse (or negative) correlation between urban population density and per capita emissions from land transport. In contrast, this paper finds a positive relationship between per capita CO2 emissions from transport and population density using a dataset of over 200...
