Wachstum und sektoraler Wandel allein haben in näherer Zukunft wahrscheinlich keinen dämpfenden Effekt auf die globalen Treibhausgasemissionen. Die vorliegende Untersuchung zeigt, dass Carbon Leakage ein Phänomen ist, welches auch im Kontext der Umwelt-Kuznets-Kurve relevant ist. Werden...

Strong growth in disposable income has driven, and is still driving, consumption to unprecedented, but not sustainable levels. To explain the dynamic interplay of needs, need satisfaction, and innovation underlying that growth a behavioral theory of consumption is suggested and discussed with...

In recent years, sustainability has represented one of the most important policy goals explored in the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) literature. But related hypotheses, performance measures and results continue to present a challenge. The present paper contributes to this ongoing literature...

The purpose of this article is twofold: First to discuss three misconceptions in the debate on climate policies: i) that de-growth is necessary, ii) that the market economy is part of the problem rather than part of the solution to climate change, and iii) that the only policy tool needed is to...

The evidence suggests that resource-rich countries tend to exhibit a relatively constant level of economic complexity, with limited progress. To investigate the underlying causes of this phenomenon, we employed a Pooled Mean Group (PMG) model using data from the top 20 resource-rich economies...

Bangladesh's economy has been rising steadily during the last few decades. Bangladesh's GDP growth rate, IN particular, has been astounding during the last several years. The contribution made by Bangladesh's economy is diversifying on a daily basis. But first and foremost the primary issue is...

The European Union has set ambitious goals for both energy efficiency and renewable energy use as part of its strategy to combat climate change. Using a panel data regression model that spans from 2012 to 2021, this study aims to evaluate how energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy...

This study uses 1971-2013 panel data to explore the implications of growth, wealth disparities and energy consumption on carbon emissions in a sample of Next-Eleven (N-11) countries. It uses modern econometric techniques to highlight a long-run interplay between selected variables in the carbon...
