This study quantifies the CO2 emissions embodied in Austrian exports and imports, using a two region-input output approach (Austria and the rest of the world). The approach considers differences in production technologies between Austria and the rest of the world, concerning the CO2 coefficients...

WIFO continues, in the present paper, its report on key indicators of climate change and energy use in Austria with data for the year 2009. The indicators thus mirror the impact of the economic crisis 2008-09 on greenhouse gas emissions, and the use and consumption of energy. The...

In 2012, greenhouse gas emissions in Austria amounted to 80.2 million tons CO2 equivalents (excluding emissions from land use, land-use change and forestry). Greenhouse gas emissions were 3.3 percent lower than in 2011 (CO2 emissions –3.7 percent). The decline was driven by a reduction in...

With this article, WIFO presents an update of its key indicators of the development of greenhouse gas emissions, energy use and economic performance, employing the latest available emissions data of 2010. Indicators thus mirror the development of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions...
