We investigate Carbon Kuznets Curves (CKC) relationships for advanced countries grouped in policy relevant groups – North America and Oceania, South Europe, North Europe – by means of various homogeneous, heterogeneous and shrinkage/Bayesian panel estimators. We try to provide an...

We study long run carbon emissions-income relationships for advanced countries grouped in policy relevant groups: North America and Oceania, South Europe, North Europe. By relying on recent advances on Generalized Additive Mixed Models (GAMMs) and adopting interaction models, we handle...

We study the eventual structural differences of climate change leading ‘actors' such as Northern EU countries, and ‘lagging actors' - southern EU countries and the ‘Umbrella group' - with regard to long run (1960-2001) carbon-income relationships. Parametric and semi parametric panel...

We study the eventual structural differences of climate change leading ‘actors’ such as Northern EU countries, and ‘lagging actors’ - southern EU countries and the ‘Umbrella group’ - with regard to long run (1960-2001) carbon-income relationships. Parametric and semi parametric panel...

We conduct an empirical analysis of the technical efficiency of cars sold in Germany in 2010. The analysis is performed using traditional data envelopment analysis (DEA) as well as directional distance functions (DDF). The approach of DDF allows incorporating the reduction of carbon dioxide...

It is common in fi rm level environmental efficiency studies for pollution to form part of the production technology. We omit nitrogen and sulphur emissions from the spatial analysis of production in European countries (1995 - 2008) because we find they are not signi cant inputs. Efficiency and...

This study aims to investigate the relationship between industrial value added and CO2 emissions for developing and developed countries with the aim of making a comparison. Many countries ignore the environmental sensitivity not to drop back due to the competitiveness. However, this recklessness...

We study the structural differences among climate change leading "factors" - Northern EU members -, and lagging actors - southern EU countries and the "Umbrella group" - with regard to long run carbon-income relationships. Homogeneous and heterogeneous panel models show that the groups of...

While the financial inclusion would induce greater pollutant emissions through its impact of economic activity, the increased access to financial services may unleash investments in green technologies. This papier investigates whether the financial inclusion influences the dynamic of carbon...

I assert that air pollution from nitrogen oxides affects the productivity of employees in Mexican court hearings. This is the first article analyzing this connection and the first to disentangle work-breaks from the productivity of white-collar workers. I merge hourly pollution with granular...
