The current study is divided into two parts. Part I deals with the indices of resource and impact decoupling for 13 countries of the EU, for a period spanning from 1990 to 2011. Employing the major pressures, of GHG emissions, mineral resource extraction and land use, the different cases of...

This study develops a theoretical general equilibrium model to examine optimal externality tax policy in the presence of externalities linked to one another through markets rather than technical production relationships. Analytical results reveal that the second-best externality tax rate may be...

The paper considers a situation where two countries - the North and the South - use a non-traded polluting input to produce the goods for final consumption. The North is more efficient in both, production and abatement processes. The study compares the effects of the transfer of abatement...

This study examines strategic response towards climate change mitigation by listed firms in the energy sector in Malaysia from 2010 to 2019. It also examines whether institutional pressures and attributes of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) drive such strategic response. Using a TwoStep cluster...

This study investigates the impact of firms' emissions on their investments in renewable energy. Stricter environmental regulations are aimed at incentivizing firms to invest in low-emission/pollution technologies such as renewable energy. Recently, the People's Republic of China (PRC) announced...

Given the commitment of G7 and G20 countries to the gradual elimination of fossil fuel subsidies and their advocacy for other nations to follow suit, this study examines the effects of such subsidies on firms' GHG emissions. Utilizing a dataset comprising 3,359 firms across seven countries in...

Many companies are setting ambitious targets to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) per the Paris Agreement. However, there is limited evidence on the market effects of setting those targets. Using a GARCH model with a trend developed by the authors and a panel fixed effects model, this...

The transport sector is facing challenging transformations in order to reach the climate goals according to the European Green Deal. This review aims to compile a comprehensive set of available energy and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission data to estimate a) road transportation and site-related GHG...

If environmental footprint attributable to various consumption patterns are evaluated, monetary transactions in the environmentally-extended input-output analysis need to be linked to household-specific expenditures. However, while the former are recorded in basic prices, the latter is typically...

Addressing the growing concerns of climate change necessitates the decarbonisation of energy sectors globally. The heating sector is the largest energy end-use, accounting for almost half of the total energy consumption in most countries. This paper presents an extensive review of previous works...
