Convergence of carbon dioxide performance across Swedish industrial sectors An environmental index approach
The overall objective of the paper is to analyze convergence of CO2 emission intensity across manufacturing sectors in Sweden. Our approach differs from previous work on carbon convergence in that it employs a theoretical framework to construct a CO2 performance index, which explicitly takes into account that industrial firms produce good as well as bad outputs. This index is then used as the d...
متن کاملModels of Development and Support of Iran's Industrial Sectors with Environmental, Energy, Employment and Production Considerations
The emphasis of industrial economics on fundamental markets and inter-sectoral interactions of industries is to explain the behaviour of enterprises. On the other hand, each country's industrial and economic policymaker approaches are substantial and outline the roadmap for the industry's development, investment, and advancement. This study investigates the results and consequences of various t...
متن کاملClub Convergence in Carbon Dioxide Emissions
We examine convergence in carbon dioxide emissions among 128 countries for the period 1960-2003 by means of a new methodology introduced by Phillips and Sul (Econometrica, 2007). Contrary to previous studies, our approach allows us to examine for evidence of club convergence, i.e. identify groups of countries that converge to different equilibria. Our results suggest convergence in per capita C...
متن کاملLow-carbon innovation for industrial sectors in developing countries
Low-carbon innovation in industrial sectors in developing countries presents economic opportunities that can help realise sustainable development pathways. Under business-as-usual, industries being established in developing countries are likely to move along carbon-intensive or inefficient pathways, increasing greenhouse gas emissions in the short term and the likelihood of establishing high-ca...
متن کاملMeasuring environmental performance in China's industrial sectors with non-radial DEA
This paper proposes a non-radial DEA approach consisting of both a static and a dynamic environmental performance index (EPI) for measuring environmental performance. The static EPI is defined as the ratio of a non-radial efficiencymeasure for reducing undesirable outputs to that for increasing desirable outputs. The proposed non-radial DEA approach has been applied to model the environmental p...
