This study investigates how consumers value carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of food by conducting a choice experiment before an ecolabel is attached on some foods in Japan. Participants are asked to buy some Satsuma mandarin oranges based on price and CO2 emissions and take them home. The following results are obtained: (i) the willingness-to-pay (WTP) estimate for the reduction of 1 g CO2 emiss...

This article examines changes in transport and land-use policies in Germany over the last 40 years that have encouraged more walking, bicycling and public transport use. It focuses on a case study of policy changes in the city of Freiburg, where over the last three decades, the number of bicycle trips tripled, public transport ridership doubled, and the share of trips by automobile declined fro...

Energy is one of the most important inputs in production. Energy usage and energy diffusion of fossil fuels in process of production cause greenhouse gases (CO2) emission and destruction of environment. According to the importance of issues like energy usage and economic growth, this paper, concerning the effects of proximity, evaluates the effects of energy usage and economic growth on emissio...

This investigation explored the impacts of energy transition and brain drain on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. A panel seventy-five countries from 2006 to 2020 quantile regression were used realize this investigation. The empirical results indicated that drain, trade openness, economic growth increase CO2 emissions per capita. At same time, transition, efficiency, urbanization mitigate environ...

Using carbon dioxide as a surrogate measure of various environmental impacts, this paper analyses the effects of anthropogenic factors on CO2 emissions in India. The paper uses the STIRPAT model with data for 1960-2007. The results show that urbanisation has the largest potential negative effects on the environment, followed by population, service sector, industrial sector and GDP per capita. W...

Various nations in the world have developed technologies and strategies for appropriate waste disposal, and to abate waste generation and greenhouse gasses. Alternatives like recovering materials can help, but they require reliable information to improve planning and management. This study quantifies the Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions produced by the lack of valorisation of materials in a Mexic...

There is much discussion on the non-linear relationship between economic growth and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Additionally, effects of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) environment are ambiguous, as both beneficial (i.e., pollution-halo) harmful pollution-haven) were found. Therefore, literature presents no consensus either these topics. This especially problematic for developing regions, r...

Using transnational terrorism data from 1980 to 2000, this study empirically examines the relationships between frequency of participation in transnational terrorism acts and economic development and education improvement. We find an inverse U-shaped association between the frequency of various nationals acting as perpetrators in transnational terrorism acts and per capita income in their respe...

We study the global probability distribution of energy consumption per capita around the world using data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) for 1980–2010. We find that the Lorenz curves have moved up during this time period, and the Gini coefficient G has decreased from 0.66 in 1980 to 0.55 in 2010, indicating a decrease in inequality. The global probability distribution of ...
