Capacity utilization in a generalized Malmquist index including environmental factors. A decomposition analysis
Bye, Torstein; Bruvoll, Annegrete; Larsson, Jan - Statistisk Sentralbyrå, Government of Norway - 2006
Productivity measures ignoring environmental effects may give misleading information on total productivity growth. Further, business cycles in the form of capacity utilization may also significantly influence productivity measures. In this paper, we develop an overall Malmquist productivity...

Technological changes in the pulp and paper industry and the role of uniform versus selective environmental policy
Bruvoll, Annegrete; Bye, Torstein; Larsson, Jan; Telle, … - Statistisk Sentralbyrå, Government of Norway - 2003
overall productivity growth accounting for changes in emissions of COD to water is higher than the growth in the productivity … measure including conventional inputs only. We find the opposite result when including emissions of acids and climate gases to … air. This is probably due to environmental regulations with opposing effects on different emissions.

Five Years After the Adoption of the Paris Agreement, Are Climate Change Considerations Reflected in Mining Contracts?
Mebratu-Tsegaye, Tehtena; Toledano, Perrine; Dietrich … - 2021
Domestic laws are the ideal legal instrument to regulate the mining sector’s contribution to climate change mitigation and adaptation. Even so, as a stop-gap-measure, governments may consider updating model mining development agreements (MMDAs) or negotiating climate­-related contractual...
