Using the Box-Cox transformation to approximate the shape of the relationship between CO2 emissions and GDP : a note
Conte Grand, Mariana; D'Elía, Vanesa Valeria - 2013
With CAIT WRI data for those countries which submitted quantifiable CO2 emission caps under the Copenhagen Agreement, this note supports the existence of a long run relationship between CO2 emissions and GDP in 11 of the 26 countries in our sample over the period 1980-2008. However, the...

Better to grow or better to improve? : measuring environmental efficiency in OECD countries with a Stochastic Environmental Kuznets Frontier
Badunenko, Oleg; Galeotti, Marzio; Hunt, Lester C. - 2021
The standard approach to the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) holds that as a country develops and GDP per capita grows environmental degradation initially increases but eventually it reaches a turning point where environmental degradation begins to decline. Environmental degradation takes many...

Climate protection versus convergence?
Lengwiler, Yvan - 2021
Global economic convergence and protection of the climate are both worthwhile goals. Yet, there is an inherent tension between them. Greenhouse gases are a waste product that is often emitted in the production process. Limiting such emissions therefore hampers the accumulation of income and...

Energy Use, CO<sub>2</sub> Emissions and Economic Growth – Causality on a Sample of SEE Countries
Obradović, Saša - 2017
The primary aim of this study is to examine the causal relations between energy use, CO<sub>2</sub> emissions and economic growth, using the examples of Greece and Bulgaria. The empirical evidence on South Eastern Europe (SEE) considering this research is quite sparse, so there is merit in the analysis of...

Carbon Dioxide Emissions in the Short Run : The Rate and Sources of Economic Growth Matter
Burke, Paul J. - 2015
This paper investigates the short-run effects of economic growth on carbon dioxide emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels and the manufacture of cement for 189 countries over the period 1961-2010. Contrary to what has previously been reported, we conclude that there is no strong evidence...

Effects of carbon pricing and other climate policies on CO2 emissions
Kohlscheen, Emanuel; Moessner, Richhild; Takáts, Előd - 2021
We provide ex-post empirical analysis of the effects of climate policies on carbon dioxide emissions at the aggregate national level. Our results are based on a comprehensive database of 121 countries. As climate policies we examine carbon taxes and emissions trading systems (ETS), as well as...
