Is China taking actions to limit its greenhouse gas emissions? past evidence and future prospects
Zhang, ZhongXiang - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 1998
As the world’s second largest carbon emitter, China has long been criticised as a “free-rider” enjoying benefits from … other countries’ efforts to abate greenhouse gas emissions but not taking due responsibilities of its own. China has been … historical contributions of inter-fuel switching, energy conserva¬tion, economic growth and population expan¬sion to China’s CO2 …

International tourism, exchange rate, and renewable energy: Do they boost or burden efforts towards a low carbon economy in selected African countries?
Adjei-Mantey, Kwame; Adusah-Poku, Frank; Kwakwa, Paul Adjei - In: Cogent Economics & Finance 11 (2023) 2, pp. 1-19
Africa continues to suffer from the effects of climate change in many ways. Records show that the continent's carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions have seen tremendous upward adjustments over the past decades. While international tourism and renewable energy have been touted as sources of reducing CO2...

How Do Airlines Cut Fuel Usage, Reducing Their Carbon Emissions?
Brueckner, Jan K.; Kahn, Matthew E.; Nickelsburg, Jerry - 2023
Airline fuel consumption is costly for the firms and for society as well due to a climate-change externality. We study how fuel price changes affect cost-minimizing choices by airlines that have implications for the extent of this externality. The airline industry's capital stock can be easily...

Do consumers select food products based on carbon dioxide emissions? Evidence from a buying experiment in Japan
Aoki, Keiko - 2009
This study investigates how consumers value carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of food by conducting a choice experiment before an ecolabel is attached on some foods in Japan. Participants are asked to buy some Satsuma mandarin oranges based on price and CO2 emissions and take them home. The...

UNDERSTANDING LONG-TERM ENERGY USE AND CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS IN THE USA
Tol, Richard S.J.; Pacala, Stephen W.; Socolow, Robert H. - Forschungsstelle Nachhaltige Umweltentwicklung (ZMK), … - 2006
We compile a database of energy uses, energy sources, and carbon dioxide emissions for the USA for the period 1850-2002. We use a model to extrapolate the missing observations on energy use by sector. Overall emission intensity rose between 1850 and 1917, and fell between 1917 and 2002. The...

Swedish CO2-Emissions 1993 - 2006 – An Application of Decomposition Analysis and Some Methodological Insights
Löfgren, Åsa; Muller, Adrian - Nationalekonomiska institutionen, Handelshögskolan - 2008
This study undertakes a decomposition analysis to identify the drivers of carbon emissions change in the Swedish business and industry sectors 1993 - 2006. On aggregate, energy intensity decreased, but this does not seem to have been very important for reducing emissions. Rather, fuel...

THE IMPACT OF THE EU-US OPEN SKIES AGREEMENT ON INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL AND CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS
Mayor, Karen; Tol, Richard S.J. - Forschungsstelle Nachhaltige Umweltentwicklung (ZMK), … - 2007
We use a model of domestic and international tourist numbers and flows to estimate the impact of the EU-US Open Skies agreement that is to take effect in March 2008. The Open Aviation Area will result in increased competition between transatlantic carriers and consequently falls in the cost of...
