External Effects of Diesel Trucks Circulating Inside the São Paulo Megacity
He, Jiaxiu - 2018
The medical literature documents adverse health effects of acute exposure to diesel exhaust, yet quasi-experimental evidence of a policy intervention sustained over months at the scale of a metropolis is lacking. Exploiting the inauguration of a beltway that removed 20,000 cargo trucks passing...

Up in smoke : the influence of household behavior on the long-run impact of improved cooking stoves
Hanna, Rema; Duflo, Esther; Greenstone, Michael - 2012
It is conventional wisdom that it is possible to reduce exposure to indoor air pollution, improve health outcomes, and decrease greenhouse gas emissions in rural areas of developing countries through the adoption of improved cooking stoves. This is largely supported by observational field...

Macroeconomic indicators and CO2 emissions in the EU region
Shpak, Nestor; Ohinok, Solomiya; Kulyniak, Ihor; Sroka, … - In: Amfiteatru economic : an economic and business research … 24 (2022) 61, pp. 817-830
The anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere are one of the problems facing mankind on a global scale. Therefore, the governments of many countries are making efforts to reduce CO2 emissions through regulatory measures. Environmental pollution from CO2 emissions is not only...

Carbon policy and the emissions implications of electric vehicles
Gillingham, Kenneth; Ovaere, Marten; Weber, Stephanie - 2021
Creativity is often highly concentrated in time and space, and across different domains. What explains the formation and decay of clusters of creativity? We match data on notable individuals born in Europe between the XIth and the XIXth century with historical city data. The production and...

De-fueling externalities : causal effects of fuel taxation and mediating mechanisms for delivering climate and health benefits
Basaglia, Pier; Behr, Sophie M.; Drupp, Moritz A. - 2023 - This version: July 2023
This paper is the first to investigate the effectiveness of fuel taxation to jointly deliver climate and health benefits in a quasi-experimental setting. Using the synthetic control method, we compare carbon and air pollutant emissions of the actual and synthetic German transport sector...

Two Birds, One Stone? Local Pollution Regulation and Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Brunel, Claire - 2017
In most countries, environmental regulation focuses on local pollution, which causes damages near the emission source …, while regulation on global pollutants such as greenhouse gases (GHG) has been slow. Theoretically, local and global … pollutants can either be substitutes or complements in production, implying that local pollution regulation may either intensify …

Geographical spread of global emissions : within-country inequalities are increasing
Sauter, Caspar; Grether, Jean-Marie; Mathys, Nicole A. - 2015
The major greenhouse gases, CO2 and CH4, are uniformly mixing, but spatial inequalities in emissions do matter in terms of both efficiency and equity of environmental policy formation and implementation. As the recent evidence has mainly focused on convergence issues between countries, this...

CO 2 emissions and greenhouse gas policy stringency : an empirical assessment
Probst, Marcel; Sauter, Caspar - 2015
This paper investigates how greenhouse gas (GHG) policy stringency affects anthropogenic CO2 emissions using a new GHG policy stringency indicator and a structural spatial VAR approach. We estimate an average country-specific elasticity of CO2 emissions to GHG policy stringency, and assess the...

Carbon Accounting by Public and Private Financial Institutions : Can We Be Sure Climate Finance Is Leading to Emissions Reductions?
Spittle, Emily; Dietrich Brauch, Martin - 2021
As reporting GHG emissions becomes mandatory in the financial sector, the methods by which emissions are calculated will grow in importance for their impact on the resulting metric. Progress is underway in both the public and private financial sectors to embed emissions accounting standards, but...
