Will skyscrapers save the planet? : conference paper
Borck, Rainald - 2014 - Preliminary and incomplete
This paper studies the effectiveness of building height limits as a policy to limit greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It shows that building height limits lead to urban sprawl and higher emissions from commuting. On the other hand, aggregate housing consumption may decrease which reduces emissions...

Assessing the moderating effect of institutional quality on economic growth : carbon emission nexus in Nigeria
Maduka, Anne C.; Ogwu, Stephen Obinozie; Ekesiobi, … - 2022
This study explores the relationship between economic growth and carbon dioxide and the moderating effect of institutional quality in Nigeria from 1990 to 2020, by employing long run and short run dynamic ARDL regression, quartile regression and granger causality test for the estimation....

The impact of population, affluence, technology, and urbanization on CO2 emissions across income groups
Sorge, Lars; Neumann, Anne - 2019
This paper analyzes the impact of urbanization on CO2 emissions within the STIRPAT framework over the period 1971 to 2014 for a panel of 76 countries clustered into income groups. Using dynamic panel estimations techniques, the empirical results robustly show an inverted N-shaped relationship...

CO2 emissions and energy technologies in Western Europe
Barrera-Santana, J.; Marrero, Gustavo A.; Puch, Luis; … - 2021
In this paper we investigate the path to the green transition in Europe. In so doing, we implement an empirical model of dynamic panel data on a sample of sixteen Western European countries over the period 1980 to 2019. The model is consistent with various features of neo-classical growth theory...

What we know and don't know about climate change, and implications for policy
Pindyck, Robert S. - 2020 - This draft: May 11, 2020
There is a lot we know about climate change, but there is also a lot we don't know. Even if we knew how much CO2 will be emitted over the coming decades, we wouldn't know how much temperatures will rise as a result. And even if we could predict the extent of warming that will occur, we can say...

Who emits CO2 ? : landscape of ecological inequalities in France from a critical perspective
Pottier, Antonin; Combet, Emmanuel; Cayla, Jean-Michel; … - 2021
This article provides a panorama of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission inequalities between French households. It presents in a detailed and critical manner the methodological conventions that are used to compute "household emissions", including the related assumptions. The most common responsibility...

The impact of carbon disclosure mandates on emissions and financial operating performance
Downar, Benedikt; Ernstberger, Jürgen; Reichelstein, Stefan - 2020
We examine whether a disclosure mandate for greenhouse gas emissions creates stakeholder pressure for firms to subsequently reduce their emissions. For UK-incorporated listed firms such a mandate was adopted in 2013. Using a difference-in-differences design, we find that firms affected by the...

Convergence in total greenhouse gas emissions worldwide
Belloc, Ignacio; Molina, José Alberto - 2023
This paper examines convergence patterns in total greenhouse gas emissions across 114 countries from 1990 to 2019. Prior research has largely focused on one representative greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide emissions, but our goal is to broaden the study. We use the club convergence test to contrast...
