This paper investigates the technical inefficiency, shadow price and substitution elasticity of CO2 emissions of China … output distance function, we show that China's technical inefficiency increases over the period implying further scope for CO …). Additionally, increasingly steep substitution elasticity highlights the difficult reality of reducing China's CO2 emissions. …

The European Union (EU) is actively campaigning for the global regulation of carbon emissions generated by maritime bunker fuels because these emissions are presently barely regulated and are projected to increase significantly in the coming decades. However, since a global regulation has not...

In the European Union (EU) and in Germany the transport sector is the only sector with increasing CO2 emissions (in the EU by about 32 % and in Germany by about 1 % since 1990). Especially in road freight and air transport a further strong increase is forecasted. In the transport sector this...

Motorised individual transport strongly contributes to global CO2 emissions, due to its intensive usage of fossil fuels. Current political efforts addressing this issue (i.e. emission performance standards in the EU) are directed towards car manufacturers. This paper focuses on the demand side....
