The effect of Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs) on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, has attracted the attention of researchers in recent years. However, the indirect effects of environmental policies in the process were not sufficiently considered. This study uses a panel threshold methodology to...

In 2009, Brazil has committed to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Since then, the National Policy on Climate Change has been instituted. In 2010, it was elaborated the Sector Plan for Mitigation and Adaptation to Climate Change for the consolidation of a Low-Carbon Economy in Agriculture...

Quantitative estimates of the impacts of climate change on economic outcomes are important for public policy. We show that the vast majority of estimates fail to account for well-established uncertainty in future temperature and rainfall changes, leading to potentially misleading projections. We...

In terms of structure of local authorities, we made an analysis of how the principle of sustainable development applies by highlighting the fact that it differs locally in structure and content from the overall development which shall be addressed at national level. Locally, we have identified...

The paper addresses the issue of dynamic relationships between environment, health and growth. Its aim is to show that the dynamic of the three variables is very difficult to predict, and depends on the value of key parameters: nonetheless the paper tries to show that there is probably, at least...

The study of economic impacts of climate change mitigation policies requires the use of different methodologies. This article discusses the most used models in literature as well as its applications. We presents dynamic Applied General Equilibrium model (AGE) that implement a market for...

The issue of food has evolved significantly in recent years throughout Europe, under the pressure of environmental and climate constraints as well as a set of factors related to food dependence and changes in consumption patterns. Short circuit practices, embedded in localized agrifood systems,...
