The study aims to investigate the dynamic impacts of economic growth, energy use, urbanization, agricultural productivity, and forested area on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in Kazakhstan. Time series data from 1996 to 2020 were utilized by employing the Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS)...

Global climate change, exacerbated by greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, notably carbon dioxide (CO2), provides a huge danger to lives, the global environment, and development. The current study explored the dynamic effects of economic growth, fossil fuel energy consumption, renewable energy...

We investigate the socially optimal anthropogenic intervention into the global carbon cycle. The limiting factor for this intervention is the accumulation of carbon in the atmosphere, which causes global warming. We apply a simplified two-box model to incorporate aspects of the global carbon...

CO2 emissions and GDP move together over the business cycle. Most climate change researchers would agree with this statement despite the absence of a study that formally analyzes the relationship between emissions and GDP at business cycle frequencies. The paper provides a rigorous empirical...

Sustainability has been largely replaced by discounted utilitarianism in contemporary climate-change economics. Our approach rejuvenates sustainability by expanding the conception of the quality of life, along the lines of the UN Human Development Reports, to include not only consumption, but...
