Spatial Transferability: Analysis of the Regional Automobile-Specific Household-Level Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Emissions Models

Spatial Transferability: Analysis of the Regional Automobile-Specific Household-Level Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Emissions Models

The Transportation Research Forum, founded in 1958, is an independent, nonprofit organization of transportation professionals who conduct, use, and benefit from research. Its purpose is to provide an impartial meeting ground for carriers, shippers, government officials, consultants, university researchers, suppliers, and others seeking exchange of information and ideas related to both passenger...

Spatial Transferability of CO2 Emission Models Incorporating Land Use, Household, and Trip Characteristics

Forecasting U.S. State-Level Carbon Dioxide Emissions

Due to criticisms of potential identification issues within spatial panel data models, this study contributes to the literature by comparing forecasts of U.S. state-level carbon dioxide emissions against empirical reality using panel data models with and without spatial effects. From a policy standpoint, understanding how to predict emissions is important for designing climate change mitigation...

Reducing Carbon Dioxide Emissions

DEBATE ABOUT the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere, and fears that it will result in an intensification of the Greenhouse Effect and global warming, have spurred consideration of sustainable development. It has been claimed that technology to improve energy efficiency already exists that is cost-effective without consideration of the gains from abatement of carb...

Impact of household consumption on CO2 emissions

Danish household consumption increased by 58% over the period 1966]1992 while CO2 emissions only increased by 7%. Using decomposition analysis we investigated the global CO impact of Danish household consumption from 1966 to 1992. Our conclusion is that 2 overall growth in private consumption } but not changes in the composition of consumption } is the key to understanding the increase in CO em...
