Effects of Kyoto Protocol on CO2 Emissions: A Five-Country Rolling Regression Analysis

Developing Country Effects of Kyoto-Type Emissions Restrictions

Economic links among countries, through trade, will cause the effects of greenhouse-gas control measures taken by one set of nations to ripple through the international trade system, affecting countries that may not have agreed to share the burdens of control. So, for example, emission restrictions under the Kyoto Protocol will increase the cost to Annex B regions of using carbon-emitting fuels...

US Rejection of the Kyoto Protocol: the impact on compliance costs and CO2 emissions

The effect of Kyoto emission targets on domestic CO2 emissions: A synthetic control approach

We use recent developments in the empirics of comparative case studies to analyze the effect of binding emission targets under the Kyoto Protocol on the development of CO2 emissions of seven major Annex B countries. In particular, we investigate whether committing to a specific greenhouse gas emissions target had an effect on actual CO2 emissions of Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Great Bri...

Emissions Trading in the Kyoto Protocol : potential benefits and pitfalls

This paper sets out from a brief overview of the fate of market-based instruments in environmental policy in the past and proceeds to discuss the potential benefits and pitfalls of international carbon emission trading (IET), the most promising of the Kyoto mechanisms (IET, JI and CDM). The problems of trading ’hot air’, the supplementarity requirement in Article 17 of the Kyoto Protocol and at...
