Economic Structure, Development Policy and Environmental Quality : An Empirical Analysis of Environmental Kuznets Curves with Chinese Municipal Data
He, Jie - 2017
In many cases, the relationship between environmental pollution and economic development can be generally depicted by … an inverted U-shaped curve, or an environmental Kuznets curve, where pollution increases with income at the beginning and … and yet environmental pollution also needs to be carefully controlled. This study analyzes the impacts of economic …

Economic Implications of Reducing Carbon Emissions from Energy Use and Industrial Processes in Brazil
Chen, Y.-H. Henry - 2017
The overall impacts on the Brazilian economy of reducing CO2 emissions from energy use and industrial processes can be assessed using a recursive dynamic general equilibrium model and a hypothetical carbon tax. The study projects that in 2040 under a business-as-usual scenario, CO2 emissions...

Energy Prices and International Trade : Incorporating Input-Output Linkages
Chan, H. Ron - 2017
This paper examines the effect of energy costs on industry export competitiveness. Most studies in the literature use direct energy consumption (energy consumption at the final stage of production) and domestic energy prices to compute energy costs faced by domestic industries. Using...

Energy Intensive Infrastructure Investments with Retrofits in Continuous Time : Effects of Uncertainty on Energy Use and Carbon Emissions
Framstad, Nils Christian - 2017
Energy-intensive infrastructure may tie up fossil energy use and carbon emissions for a long time after investments, making the structure of such investments crucial for society. Much or most of the resulting carbon emissions can often be eliminated later, through a costly retrofit. This paper...

Climate Cost Uncertainty, Retrofit Cost Uncertainty, and Infrastructure Closedown : A Framework for Analysis
Strand, Jon - 2017
Large and energy-intensive infrastructure investments with long life times have substantial implications for climate policy. This study focuses on options to scale down energy consumption and carbon emissions now and in the future, and on the costs of doing so. Two ways carbon emissions can be...

Calculating the Carbon Footprint from Different Classes of Air Travel
Bofinger, Heinrich - 2017
This paper develops a new methodology for calculating the "carbon footprint" of air travel whereby emissions from travel in premium (business and first) classes depend heavily on the average class-specific occupied floor space. Unlike methods currently used for the purpose, the approach properly...
