Who benefits from market-based environmental policies? To shed light on this question, we investigate the environmental and distributional consequences of regional cap-and-trade programs to mitigate sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from U.S. power plants. Using double and triple differences,...

Using recently developed structural break tests that are valid for difference-stationary and trend-stationary data and efficient unit root tests that allow for breaks we examine the trend behavior of two air pollutants, Nitrogen Oxides (NOX) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC). We find that...

This paper provides an overhaul of the contribution of exports to industrial sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions in Chinese cities. My estimation strategy exploits the import demand shocks of export destination markets (net of their demand for Chinese products) as a plausibly exogenous source of...

Climate Change and global warming are two concerning issues in the contemporary world. Greenhouse Gas emissions particularly carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are responsible for this climate change. Both natural and human made factors causes excessive CO2 emissions. This paper investigates the...

This paper represents an addition to the scanty empirical evidence relating to the impactof climate change on the manufacturing sector. To study the effect of temperature onenergy use, CO2 emissions, and firms’ economic performance, we combine daily temperatureinformation from 11,000 German...

We analyze how board characteristics affect a company's carbon emissions besides further firm-related and cultural variables, using data on over 6,000 companies located in 46 countries for the period 2009-2019. We identify the boards that are more skilled or have a higher share of female members...

An inverted-U relationship between GDP per capita and three urban transport-related emissions is tested (using data from 84 cities). Per capita urban transport-related emissions of CO, VHC, and NOx increase and then decline at observed income levels — a result driven by a similar inverted-U...

By moving goods and people over large distances, air transport facilitates international trade and tourism and thus contributes to economic growth and job creation. At the same time, it also comes with environmental challenges, largely related to air emissions and their impact on global warming....

Municipal solid waste generation is becoming a prominent issue in the environmental arena. The aim of this paper is to investigate the relationship among municipal waste generation, greenhouse gas emissions, and GDP in Switzerland over the period 1990–2017. We apply both time series procedures...

This study to investigate the causality between human capital, energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and economic growth in Indonesia. The data used world development indicator has obtained from the World Bank database during 1985-2017. The analysis method used vector error correction model. The...
