Parametric and semi parametric panel models show...

We study the structural differences among climate change leading factors - Northern EU members -, and lagging actors - southern EU countries and the Umbrella group - with regard to long run carbon-income relationships. Homogeneous and heterogeneous panel models show that the groups of countries...
