Green finance, energy consumption, and carbon dioxide emissions: A GMM panel data analysis from China

CO2 emissions, energy consumption and economic growth in China: A panel data analysis

This paper examines the causal relationships between carbon dioxide emissions, energy consumption and real economic output using panel cointegration and panel vector error correction modeling techniques based on the panel data for 28 provinces in China over the period 1995–2007. Our empirical results show that CO2 emissions, energy consumption and economic growth have appeared to be cointegrate...

Carbon Emissions Abatement Cost in China: Provincial Panel Data Analysis

This paper employs the quadratic directional output distance function to derive shadow prices of China’s aggregate carbon emissions at the province level between 1997 and 2010. The empirical results indicate that the national weighted average shadow price presents an “N-shape” curve across the sample period, experiencing the initial phase of growth followed by a phase of deterioration, and then...

Pollutant Emissions, Energy Consumption and Economic Development in China: Evidence from Dynamic Panel Data†

This study investigates the relationships among pollutant emissions, energy consumption and economic development in China during the period 1982-2007 by using one-step GMM-system model under multivariable panel VAR framework, controlling for capital stock and labor force. Regarding the data for all 28 provinces as a whole, we find that there is a unidirectional positive relationship running fro...

Evaluating the effects of energy and economic growth on Carbon dioxide emission (using spatial panel data)

Energy is one of the most important inputs in production. Energy usage and energy diffusion of fossil fuels in process of production cause greenhouse gases (CO2) emission and destruction of environment. According to the importance of issues like energy usage and economic growth, this paper, concerning the effects of proximity, evaluates the effects of energy usage and economic growth on emissio...
