“…The first is the uncertainty of energy statistics. Previous research on China's CO 2 emissions accounting collected energy consumption data from China's national statistics bureau [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41]. However, there was a 20% gap between the aggregated energy consumption from 30 provinces and national consumption.…”

“…The key issue for reaching a consensus on GHG emission reduction is the concern on its impact to local economic development [7], either in developed regions or in developing and emerging countries. For example, van Renssen explored the worries voiced within industry and argued that Europe must come up with effective climate, environment and energy policies that do not jeopardize economic competitiveness [8], Wang et al [9] stated that China's economic growth and export trade had significantly promoted its carbon emissions, and the rapid economic growth is the main determinant that causes an increase in carbon emissions [10]. Major emitters seem unwilling to accept binding emissions reductions targets as their economies have stagnated [11].…”

Issues on climate change have been recognized as serious challenges for regional sustainable development both at a global and local level. Given the background that most of the artificial carbon emissions are resulted from the energy consumption sector and the energy is also the key element resource for economic development, this paper investigated the relationship between CO 2 emission, fossil energy consumption, and economic growth in the period 1970-2008 of nine European countries, based on the approach of Granger Causality Test, followed by the risk analysis on impacts of CO 2 reduction to local economic growth classified by the indicator of causality degree. The results show that there are various feedback causal relationships between carbon emission, energy consumption and economic growth, with both unidirectional and dual-directional Granger causality. The impact of reducing CO 2 emission to economic growth varies between countries as well.

“…Along this line, some researchers have analyzed the convergence process in particular countries or at regional level, using as indicators CO 2 intensity (CO 2 emission over consumed energy) or CO 2 emissions per capita [6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13] among others. Other studies have focused on identifying and quantifying the factors behind the behaviour of CO 2 emissions using di↵erent methodologies like long-run relationship [14,15], structural decomposition approach [16,17], as well as analyses based on the index number theory [18] or in a decomposition performed in the production theory framework [19,20,21].…”

CO₂emissions convergence among 10 South American countries. A study of Kaya components (1980–2010)

This paper analyzes the convergence in CO 2 emissions per capita (CO 2 emissions over population) among ten South American countries from 1980 to 2010 based on their Kaya components [1], namely, gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, energy intensity (energy consumption over GDP) and CO 2 intensity (CO 2 emissions over energy consumption). We apply Phillips and Sul (2007) methodology [2] to tests the existence of convergence clubs in the pathway of evolution of each Kaya component. This work tries to find out whether a set of countries in the region share common convergence patterns in CO 2 emission per capita and in its driving forces. Our results show that the region, as a whole, does not present a global convergence pattern regarding CO 2 emissions per capita, however, the evidence suggests the formation of various convergence clubs for each Kaya component and the existence of two groups of countries in which there is full Kaya convergence, i.e,. convergence in CO 2 emissions per capita, gross domestic product per capita, energy intensity and CO 2 intensity. The first group, k 1 , stands for countries with the best general economic performance, Chile and Uruguay. The second full Kaya convergence group, k 2 , includes the two largest economies of the region, Argentina and Brazil, and the country which has a value in the di↵erent Kaya components closer to the regional average, Ecuador. On the other hand, only Colombia seems to show that an improvement in both energy and carbon intensity leads to the stabilization or even to the reduction of CO 2 emissions.
