  1. 1. MEASURING ECO-EFFICIENCY OF PRODUCTION IN OECD MEMBER COUNTRIES : A STOCHASTIC FRONTIER ANALYSIS

    Master-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Nationalekonomi

    Författare :Mahmoud Seif Mohammed; [2022]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : This paper analyzed the eco-efficiency of 27 OECD member countries by using output-oriented Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) model. In the set-up of the model, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was used as a good output whereas Carbon dioxide (CO2), Sulphur dioxide (SO2) and Nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions were used as bad outputs.

  3. 2. The effect of environmental policies on CO2 emissions - using the environmental policy stringency index

    Kandidat-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för nationalekonomi med statistik

    Författare :Elin Alexandersson; [2020-09-15]
    Nyckelord :Environmental policy stringency index; CO₂ emissions; panel data; fixed effects;

    Sammanfattning : The carbon concentration in the air has increased by 50 percent since pre-industrial times and continues to increase every year. Climate change is, therefore, a significant challenge today. LÄS MER

  4. 3. The Effect of Environmental Policy Stringency on Environmental Innovations - A Cross Country Comparison

    Kandidat-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för nationalekonomi med statistik

    Författare :Anna Jahre; Anna Nordin; [2020-06-30]
    Nyckelord :Policy stringency; environmental-regulations; innovations; EPS; eco-patents; Porter Hypthesis;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is a cross-country comparison based on panel-data across 30 countries from 1990-2012. It uses a Negative Binomial Regression Model to test The Porter Hypothesis to see if environmental policy stringency affects the number of environmental innovations in a country. LÄS MER

  5. 4. The impact of environmental policy stringency on FDI flows: Evidence from BRIICS-OECD flow panel dataset

    Magister-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen

    Författare :Sofia Sacks; [2018]
    Nyckelord :environmental policy stringency; pollution haven; FDI; fixed effects; location hypothesis; BRIICS; Social Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : The Paris Agreement has increased interest in environmental policy research, which has alerted that companies will relocate their investment to countries with less stringent environmental standards. This pollution haven effect, although theoretically analyzed, has wide-ranging empirical results which are highly dependent on the selected case and proxy for environmental policy stringency.

  7. 5. Environmental policy stringency and foreign direct investment : testing the pollution haven hypothesis with a new composite index

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Economics

    Författare :Mia Lundh; [2017]
    Nyckelord :foreign direct investments; pollution havens; enviornmnetal policy; policy stringency; environmental regulation;

    Sammanfattning : Environmental concerns and increasing stringency levels of environmental regulations, especially in developed countries, has given rise to the debate concerning pollution havens. The pollution haven hypothesis argues that differences in environmental policy stringency will give economic incentives to firms and industries to move their production to countries with more lenient environmental regulations.
