We explore the effects of environmental and trade policies with negative consumption externalities when a domestic firm and a foreign rival produce imperfect substitutes and compete in the domestic market. Consumption of the foreign product generates more emissions than that of the domestic product. Emission taxes reduce emissions, harm the foreign firm, but may benefit the domestic firm. Tarif...

Human activities have always led to the emission of greenhouse gases; atmospheric concentrations have been increasing during the last century; and present-day climate change is a result of past emissions. This paper presents historical emissions (1890–1998) by country due to CH4 enteric fermentation and N2O animal manure management from domestic livestock (excluding animals grazing). Two indica...

unlike other studies in which the autours have focused on testing the existence of an environmental kuznets curve, in this study, causality relationship between the energy consumption (oil equivalent), carbon emissions, gross domestic production, total labor force and fixed capital formation is investigated during 1960 to 2007 in iran. following an examination of stationary tests for all the va...

abstract this study investigates casual relationship between co2 emission and gross domestic product per capita in five different country groups, using cross- country data for the period 1960-2007. to achieve the purpose, the co- integration test and error correction models are applied. results confirm casual relationships between the two variables. a unilateral relationship between gdp and co2...

To derive the supply and demand issues during the first phase of the Korea Emission Trading Scheme (KETS), we investigated the excess or shortage, and the carry-over inflow of carbon emission permits for all of the domestic industries and major corporations. In particular, this study explored the supply and future prospects of offset credits, as well as the allocated permits, by forecasting the...

This paper presents emission factors (EFs) derived for a range of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) when coal and wood were subject to controlled burning experiments, designed to simulate domestic burning for space heating. A wide range of POPs were emitted, with emissions from coal being higher than those from wood. Highest EFs were obtained for particulate matter, PM10, (approximately 10 g...
