In this paper, we assess the viability of decoupling. First, we develop a prognosis of climate-constrained...journal article 2020

Storm, S.T.H. (author), Mir, G.U.R. (author)We assess the Carbon-Kuznets-Curve hypothesis using internationally consistent and comparable production-based versus consumption-based CO2 emissions data for 40 countries(and 35 industries) during 1995-2007 from the World Input Output Database (WIOD). Theestimates for per capita CO2 emissions are truly comprehensive as these include all...report 2016
