Title: | Investigating the determinants of carbon emissions in the USA: a state-level analysis | Authors: | Dehdar, Fatemeh Fuinhas, José Alberto Karimi Alavijeh, Nooshin Nazeer, Nazia Zangoei, Samane |
Keywords: | Carbon emission; Energy consumption; OLS fixed effects; Panel quantile regression; State-level analysis | Issue Date: | 29-Oct-2022 | Project: | UIDB/05037/2020 | Serial title, monograph or event: | Environmental Science and Pollution Research | Abstract: | The present study investigates the significant determinants of carbon emissions, namely, GDP, energy consumption, energy price, and energy expenditure, utilizing data of 50 American states from 2005 to 2016. Results obtained from application of OLS with fixed effects and panel quantile regression revealed that the effect of GDP on carbon emissions is negative but significant at all quantiles, energy consumption and energy price have a positive and significant effect on carbon emissions, while the effect of energy expenditure is negative but significant at the upper and lower quantiles, implying that high energy expenditures do not reduce carbon dioxide emission at the US state level. Policymakers should introduce further initiatives, so all the states would implement the climate legislations. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/103397 | ISSN: | 0944-1344 1614-7499 |
