UK households' carbon footprint : a comparison of the association between household characteristics and emissions from home energy, transport and other goods and services

Buchs, Milena; Schnepf, Sylke V. - 2013

Does the association between household characteristics and household CO2 emissions differ for different areas such as … compares how household characteristics like income, household size, rural/urban location and education level differ in their … association with home energy, transport, indirect and total emissions. We find that the association between household …

The Time Value of Carbon and Carbon Storage : Clarifying the Terms and the Policy Implications of the Debate

Marshall, Elizabeth - 2014

The question of whether there is any value to the temporary storage of carbon is fundamental to climate policy design across a number of arenas, including physical carbon discounting in greenhouse gas accounting, the relative value of temporary carbon offsets, and the value of other carbon...

Productive base sustainability under climate change : theoretical results and empirical evidence

Dimitra, Vouvaki (contributor); … - 2009

Climate change is one of the most urgent and severe problems on the international agenda and one of the basic factors that determine sustainability conditions. This paper attempts to reveal the connection between productive base sustainability for two large groups of countries, developed and...

Are greenhouse gas emissions converging in Latin America?

Belloc, Ignacio; Molina, José Alberto - 2022

This paper investigates greenhouse gas emissions convergence among twenty Latin American countries, for the period 1970 to 2015. To that end, we use the Phillips-Sul methodology to examine whether these countries have followed an absolute convergence process or, whether there has been a club...

Committed emissions from existing and planned power plants and asset stranding required to meet the Paris Agreement

Pfeiffer, Alexander; Hepburn, Cameron; Vogt-Schilb, Adrien - 2018

Over the coming decade, the power sector is expected to invest ~7.2 trillion USD in power plants and grids globally, much of it into CO2-emitting coal and gas plants. These assets typically have a long lifetime and commit large amounts of (future) CO2 emissions. Here, we analyze the historic...

Something from nothing : estimating consumption rates using propensity scores, with application to emissions reduction policies

Bardsley, Nicholas; Büchs, Milena; Schnepf, Sylke V. - 2016

Consumption surveys often record zero purchases of a good because of a short observation window. Only mean consumption rates can then be inferred. We show that propensity scores can be used to estimate each unit's consumption rate, revealing the distribution. We demonstrate the method using the...
