Regional and Sector Environmental Efficiency Empirical Evidence from Structural Shift-share Analysis of NAMEA data
Mazzanti, Massimiliano; Montini, Anna - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2009
This paper provides new empirical evidence on regional–national disparities in environmental efficiency, based on case studies of Italy and the Lazio region, which includes the city of Rome. Shift-share analyses provide evidence on the drivers of environmental efficiency and on sector...

Green Investment Strategies and Export Performance: A Firm-level Investigation
Antonietti, Roberto; Marzucchi, Alberto - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013
In this paper we empirically investigate the relationship between investments in environmentally-oriented equipment and firms’ export performance. Drawing on Porter hypothesis and firm heterogeneity theory, we adopt a structural model where first we estimate the impact of green investment...

Policies and Practices of Low Carbon City Development in China
Wang, Can; Lin, Jie; Cai, Wenjia; Zhang, ZhongXiang - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2014
Globally as well as in China, cities have contributed to most of the economic output and have accordingly given rise to most CO2 emissions. In particular, given unprecedented urbanization, cities will play an even greater role in shaping energy demand and CO2 emissions. Therefore, cities are the...

Factor-Augmenting Technical Change: An Empirical Assessment
Cian, Enrica De - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2009
Starting from a system of factor demands, an empirical model that allows estimating factor-augmenting technical change is derived. Factor-augmenting technical change is defined as the improvement in factor productivities that can occur either exogenously or endogenously, with changes in other...
