This paper analyses the inequality in CO2 emissions across countries (and groups of countries) and the relationship of this inequality with income inequality across countries for the period (1971-1999). The research employs the tools that are usually applied in income distribution analysis. The...

In our paper, we test the stability of the unadjusted and adjusted Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC). Our results provide evidence in favour of the significance of the adjusted EKC hypothesis in which the impact of per capita GDP on the intensity of CO2 emissions is evaluated conditionally to...

The massive data centre energy consumption has motivated significant efforts to use energy efficiency strategies and the implementation of renewable energy sources that reduce their operational costs and environmental impact. Considering that the potential of many of these measures is often...

Shanghai, one of the most developed cities in China, is implementing a pilot regional carbon emission trading scheme. Estimating the marginal abatement costs of CO2 emissions for the industrial sectors covered in Shanghai's emission trading scheme provides the government and participating firms...

This study examines the linkages among economic growth, energy consumption, financial development, trade openness and CO2 emissions over the period of 1975Q1–2011Q4 in case of Indonesia. The stationary analysis is performed by using Zivot–Andrews unit root test and the ARDL bounds testing...

The existing literatures mainly focus on the relationships between ICT and CO2 emissions in developed countries from the perspective of technology, but little attention has been paid to China. Concerning regional differences in China, this paper investigates the impact of ICT industry on CO2...

We analyzed the change of energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the Chinese textile industry from 1986 to 2010. Decomposition analysis based on Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index method was applied and the study period was split into five time intervals for easier data management. Results...

There is an acute scarcity of potable water in many parts of the world, and especially in the Middle East region. Most of developing countries around the world endeavor to make a balance between declining fresh water supplies and the rapid demands of a rising population. Economic analysis is an...

Solving the existing energy crisis, alleviating poverty, and mitigating the potential impacts of climate change have garnered significant attention of policy makers in Nepal. In this context, this paper examines the causal relationships among energy consumption, pollution emission, and economic...

Electric vehicles are usually perceived by policy makers and the general public as an attractive means to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In this paper we provide a rigorous assessment of the emissions resulting from the diffusion of electric vehicles. We make use of EMOB, a comprehensive model...
