Are greenhouse gas emissions converging in Latin America?
Belloc, Ignacio; Molina, José Alberto - 2022
This paper investigates greenhouse gas emissions convergence among twenty Latin American countries, for the period 1970 to 2015. To that end, we use the Phillips-Sul methodology to examine whether these countries have followed an absolute convergence process or, whether there has been a club...

Committed emissions from existing and planned power plants and asset stranding required to meet the Paris Agreement
Pfeiffer, Alexander; Hepburn, Cameron; Vogt-Schilb, Adrien - 2018
Over the coming decade, the power sector is expected to invest ~7.2 trillion USD in power plants and grids globally, much of it into CO2-emitting coal and gas plants. These assets typically have a long lifetime and commit large amounts of (future) CO2 emissions. Here, we analyze the historic...

Something from nothing : estimating consumption rates using propensity scores, with application to emissions reduction policies
Bardsley, Nicholas; Büchs, Milena; Schnepf, Sylke V. - 2016
Consumption surveys often record zero purchases of a good because of a short observation window. Only mean consumption rates can then be inferred. We show that propensity scores can be used to estimate each unit's consumption rate, revealing the distribution. We demonstrate the method using the...
