Energy Consumption, Economic Growth and CO2 Emissions in Middle East and North African Countries

Arouri, Mohamed - 2014

This article extends the recent findings of Liu (2005), Ang (2007), Apergis et al. (2009) and Payne (2010) by implementing recent bootstrap panel unit root tests and cointegration techniques to investigate the relationship between carbon dioxide emissions, energy consumption, and real GDP for 12...

An Empirical Study of the Relationships Between CO2 Emissions, Economic Growth and Openness

Choi, Eunho - 2014

its causal relationships with economic growth and openness by using time series data (1971-2006) from China (an emerging … characteristics, the estimated EKC show different temporal patterns. China shows an N-shaped curve while Japan has a U-shaped curve … it represents an inverted U-shaped curve, while China shows a U-shaped curve. We also analyze the dynamic relationships …

Defensive Investments and the Demand for Air Quality : Evidence from the Nox Budget Program and Ozone Reductions

Deschênes, Olivier - 2014

Demand for air quality depends on health impacts and defensive investments that improve health, but little research assesses the empirical importance of defenses. We study an important cap-and-trade market, which dramatically reduced NOx emissions, a key ingredient in ozone formation. A rich...

UK Households' Carbon Footprint : A Comparison of the Association between Household Characteristics and Emissions from Home Energy, Transport and Other Goods and Services

Buchs, Milena - 2014

Does the association between household characteristics and household CO2 emissions differ for different areas such as home energy, transport, indirect and total emissions in the UK? Specific types of households might be more likely to have high emissions in some areas than in others and thus be...

City Size, Pollution and Emission Policies

Pflüger, Michael - 2018

This paper develops a micro-founded city systems model with an endogenous number of cities to explore whether local governments establish the optimal city size when production processes involve environmental pollution. Our analysis delivers two key insights. First, if an optimal scheme to...

The Effect of Renewable Energy Development on Carbon Emission Reduction : An Empirical Analysis for the EU-15 Countries

Abolhosseini, Shahrouz - 2015

The increased concerns about climate change have made renewable energy sources an important topic of research. Several scholars have applied different methodologies to examine the relationships between energy consumption and economic growth of individual and groups of countries and to analyze...

Distributional Effects of Emission Pricing in a Carbon-Intensive Economy : The Case of Poland

Antosiewicz, Marek - 2020

In this paper, we assess the distributional impact of introducing a carbon tax in Poland. We apply a two-step simulation procedure. First, we evaluate the economy-wide effects with a dynamic general equilibrium model. Second, we use a microsimulation model based on household budget survey data...

Timing Matters : Shifting Economic Activity and Intra-Day Variation in Ambient Ozone Concentrations

2020

Ground-level ozone has been shown to have significant health consequences from short-term exposure, and as such has been regulated in the U.S. since the 1970s by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Ozone is not emitted directly; instead formation occurs due to a complex, Leontief-like...

The Impact of Car Pollution on Infant and Child Health : Evidence from Emissions Cheating

Alexander, Diane - 2019

Car exhaust is a major source of air pollution, but little is known about its impacts on population health. We exploit the dispersion of emissions-cheating diesel cars - which secretly polluted up to 150 times as much as gasoline cars - across the United States from 2008-2015 as a natural...

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...
