Portuguese Abstract: O trabalho busca captar as relações existentes entre desempenho econômico e emissões de CO2 no Brasil, tendo como base o ano de 2004. Será analisada a participação dos diferentes setores nas emissões totais, levando-se em consideração a estrutura tecnológica da...

The purpose of this work is to verify the existence of possible tradeoffs between policies direct to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) with the ones direct to foster the development of the Brazilian Amazon Region, considering its economic relations with the rest of the country and...

We use a novel and more precise data set on greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations in the Amazon region to estimate the nexus between local economic indicators and GHGs. We find that urbanization and waste generation emerge as new and important drivers of observed methane emissions. Local nitrous...

This paper describes the sources and methods used to estimate carbon emissions embodied in final demand and international gross trade for 65 economies over the period 2005-2015. Earlier OECD analyses of carbon footprints, accounting for global production networks, helped raise awareness of...

This paper analyzes the relation between economic performance and CO2 emissions in Brazil, in the year 2004. The contribution of the productive sectors to total emission is established, taking into account the technological structure of the economy, the interrelations among sectors, the sectoral...

Portuguese Abstract: Este trabalho quantifica as emissões de CO2 decorrentes do uso energético de gás natural, álcool e derivados de petróleo em seis regiões brasileiras e avalia os impactos de eventuais políticas de controle de emissões. Também mostra para as seis regiões estudadas a...
