A hybrid novel method to economically evaluate the carbon dioxide emissions in the productive chain of Argentina

Paper aims This paper compares the economic valuation (Intrinsic Cost or IC) of carbon dioxide emissions (carbon price) externality taxes (Kyoto Protocol) Argentine Production Chain (APC). Originality The experimental IC index and this novel combination allow incorporating objective (incremental) subjective (acceptance, hierarchy uncertainty) evaluation APC. method is extended in (to other operators). Research ICs are applied to attribute graphs two scenarios (APC society), that obtained from Fuzzy Decision Making (FMD), Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) PSO with Algebraic (AP), Generic Hamacher (GHP PHP) Einstein (EP) products. Main findings (i) coherency new demonstrated by mathematical graphical analysis; (ii) most demanding operators EP HP. Implications for theory practice It contributes establish mechanisms regulation
