The effects of environmental risk on consumption : an empirical analysis on the Mediterranean countries

Baiardi, Donatella; Manera, Matteo; Menegatti, Mario - 2014

This paper empirically estimates a micro-founded model which studies the macroeconomic impact of environmental and financial risks on consumption choices in the Mediterranean Region. The analysis is carried out using time series aggregate data for fourteen Mediterranean countries over the period...

The environmental Kuznets curve and sustainability : a panel data analysis

Farhani, Sahbi; Mrizak, Sana; Chaibi, Anissa; Rault, … - 2014

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 employment impact of cleaner production on the firm level : empirical evidence from a survey in five European countries

Rennings, Klaus; Zwick, Thomas - 2001

This paper analyses the determinants of employment reactions of firms when environmental innovations have been carried out. It differentiates hereby between employment increases and decreases. The data stem from a telephone survey covering more than 1500 firms in five European countries that...

Trade and the environment : new methods, measurements, and results

Cherniwchan, Jevan; Copeland, Brian Richard; Taylor, … - 2016

We review recent research linking international trade to the environment, with a focus on new results and methods. The review is given structure by a novel decomposition linking changes in emissions to changes in productive activity at the plant, firm, industry, and national levels. While some...

Investigating the carbon leakage effect on the environmental Kuznets curve using luminosity data

Steinkraus, Arne - 2016

This paper studies the effect of carbon leakage on the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) using satellite nighttime light data. I show that nighttime lighting is an important variable for estimating carbon dioxide emissions that is superior to other existing indicators and covers all countries in...

Airline fuel usage and carbon emissions : determining factors

Brueckner, Jan K.; Abreu, Chrystyane - 2016

Using annual data on individual US airlines over the 1995-2015 period, this paper presents regression results relating an airline's total fuel usage to seven variables: the available ton miles of capacity (passengers plus freight and mail) provided by the airline; the average seat capacity of its...

Consumption and precautionary saving : an empirical analysis under both financial and environmental risks

Baiardi, Donatella; Manera, Matteo; Menegatti, Mario - 2011

This paper studies the empirical relationship between consumption and saving under two different sources of uncertainty: financial risk and environmental risk. The analysis is carried out using time series data for six advanced economies in the period 1965-2007. The results support the...

Optimal control of pollutants with delayed stock accumulation

Winkler, Ralph - 2008

We study the optimal control of a pollutant that accumulates with a delay.We find that optimal paths are, in general, non-monotonic and oscillatory, but monotonic if the objective function is additively separable. Hence, using additively separable objective functions as an approximation to a...

Identification and estimation of the environmental Kuznets curve : pairwise differencing to deal with nonlinearity and nonstationarity

Sen, Suphi; Melenberg, Bertrand; Vollebergh, Herman R. J. - 2016

We propose an estimation strategy that accounts for two major problems raised in the empirical literature testing for the prevalence of the inverted U-shaped relation between environmental degradation and economic activity, namely the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis. First, we use...

Green Havens and Pollution Havens

Poelhekke, Steven - 2012

We test for pollution haven effects in outward foreign direct investment (FDI) for different sectors using a … country significantly attracts FDI. What is important for these pollution haven effects is not only regulation but also … enforcement of environmental policy. In contrast to earlier results, it is not only footloose industries that display pollution …
