We conduct an empirical analysis of the technical efficiency of cars sold in Germany in 2010. The analysis is performed using traditional data envelopment analysis (DEA) as well as directional distance functions (DDF). The approach of DDF allows incorporating the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions as an environmental goal in the efficiency analysis. A frontier separation approach is used to ...

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) seek to achieve economic, social, and environmental progress globally. However, trade-offs among these three pillars might occur, particularly in the context of cities. We argue that exist because traditional factors production for economic welfare are not always relevant other dimensions city sustainability. Consequently, additional needed facilitate 2030 a...

The circular economy is entirely in line with the European Commission’s long-term strategy aimed at moving toward an without any climate impact by 2050 (European Commission, 2018). Yet, to our knowledge, there little work that analyzes of on CO2 emissions Europe. objective this study analyze, level Union (EU-15), using Autoregressive-Distributed Lag model (ARDL). results over period 2000-2015 s...

Although some studies have posited that sectoral growth could influence environmental pollution through energy consumption, the issue has not been explicitly and empirically investigated in carbon-neutrality literature. Hence, this analysis fills gap extant literature by employing interaction models to ascertain moderating role of consumption on impacts industrial, agricultural, financial, serv...

the main objective of this paper is to study the relationship between the energy consumption (energy use intensity), economic growth, and co2 emission in iran. to that end, we use time series data of iran during 1967–2004. in order to examine the long-run relationship among these variables, the johanson-juselius cointegration method is used along with vecm. the main finding of this study shows ...

CO 2 emissions per capita (Emc) and intensity (Emint) are among the main metrics used to report in environmental studies. The aim of this note is compare evolution Emc Emint G19 countries. Comparing their varying trends useful benchmark analysis. Indeed, our study countries, we offer evidence that such show different for same group countries both at sample individual level. Using a growth curve...
