Convergence of CO2 emissions and economic growth in the OECD countries: Did the type of fuel matter?
Acar, Sevil; Lindmark, Magnus (Taylor & Francis Inc, 2017)This study analyzes convergence in CO2 emissions in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries with respect to the source of emissions (oil vs. coal). The investigated period 1973-2010 is ... -
Convergence of per capita carbon dioxide emissions: Implications and meta-analysis
Acar, Sevil; Soderholm, Patrik; Brannlund, Runar (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018)There is a rich empirical literature testing whether per capita carbon dioxide emissions tend to converge over time and across countries. This article provides a meta-analysis of the results from this research, and discusses ... -
Does income growth relocate ecological footprint?
Aşıcı, Ahmet Atlı; Acar, Sevil (Elsevier Science Bv, 2016)The aim of this paper is to investigate whether countries tend to relocate their ecological footprint as they grow richer. The analysis is carried out for a panel of 116 countries by employing the production and import ... -
