This study offers a unique contribution to the literature by investigating the influential factors of energy-related carbon dioxide emission intensity among a panel of 30 provinces in China covering the period 1991-2010. We use novel spatial panel data models to analyze the drivers of energy-related emission intensity, which we posit are characterized by spatial dependence. Our results suggest:...

This paper establishes asymptotic properties of quasi-maximum likelihood estimators for …xed e¤ects SAR panel data models with SAR disturbances where the time periods T and/or the number of spatial units n can be …nite or large in all combinations except that both T and n are …nite. A direct approach is to estimate all the parameters including …xed e¤ects. We propose alternative estimation meth...
