The aim of this paper is to investigate the environmental convergence hypothesis in carbon dioxide emissions for a large group of developed and developing countries from 1980 to 2009. The novel aspect of this work is that we distinguish among carbon dioxide emissions according to the source of...

The aim of this paper is to investigate the process of convergence as regards energy intensity in the case of large group countries over the period 1971–2008. In doing so, we focus on the distribution dynamics approach. The first novel aspect of this study consists in the fact that it analyses...

Energy intensity has gone through different stages across Chinese regions. In this paper, we investigate the stochastic electricity-intensity convergence across the Chinese provinces. Unlike previous work, this paper highlights the relevance of the level of technology of each province and takes...
