1. Sectoral Decomposition of Technology-adjusted CO2 Emissions from International Trade in China 1999-2009
University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionenAbstract : In the context of increasing focus on the climate change China is being blamed for its large contribution to global CO2 emissions, which have been produced within China’s territory. However, increasing number of researches have started to argue that the developed countries should be held responsible for displacing their emissions by outsourcing pollution-heavy production to the developing countries.

2. The Environmental Kuznets Curve: Examining the relationship between income and technology-adjusted consumption-based CO2 emissions
University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionenAbstract : This study aims to investigate whether countries succeed to reduce their contribution to global emissions when countries reach higher levels of income. As a result of rapid changes in international trade, a country’s emission responsibility goes beyond national borders, which should be adequately captured in their carbon footprint. READ MORE

3. Reassessing Emissions in the Lucky Country: Consumption, Production & Outsourcing in Australia (1995 – 2009)
University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionenAbstract : Despite a small population, Australia is globally relevant as the largest per capita emitter of greenhouse gases in the OECD and the world’s largest exporter of coal. Australia is also uniquely positioned amongst developed nations as being both acutely exposed to climate change impacts and being without coherent energy and emissions policies. READ MORE

4. Dynamic Technology-Adjusted Consumption-Based Accounting: National emission responsibilities based on current consumption patterns and production technologies
University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionenAbstract : Effective global emission mitigation policies require accurate guidance in terms of a fair and comparable emission accounting framework. This thesis presents an indicator that acknowledges countries’ technological differences as well as intertemporal capital dynamics. READ MORE

5. The Technology-Adjusted Balance of Emissions Embodied in Trade: Assessing Global Carbon Emission Displacement from 1995 to 2009
University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionenAbstract : Increasing global production fragmentation allows for emission displacement, which may counteract advanced nation’s domestic reductions of production-related carbon emissions. Consequently, input-output analysis has become a common tool to measure countries’ carbon footprint and emission trade balances based on national consumption instead of domestically produced CO2 emissions.
