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...

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 … pollutants can either be substitutes or complements in production, implying that local pollution regulation may either intensify … or reduce global warming concerns. We exploit new data on US GHG emissions and variation in local pollution regulation …

Benefit Transfer for Environmental Improvements in Coastal Areas : General vs. Specific Models
Östberg, Katarina; Håkansson, Cecilia; Hasselström, Linus - 2013
In this study, we used choice experiment data to analyze the accuracy of benefit transfer (BT) between two case study areas in Sweden for attributes relevant to the implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive and special consideration zones in marine areas. The accuracy and reliability of...
