OECD 7개 국가의 CO₂ 배출량 감소요인 분해 분석 = Decomposition Analysis of the Reduction in CO₂ Emissions from Seven OECD Countries

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study investigates a decomposition analysis of the determinants of the reduced CO₂ emissions in seven OECD countries that implemented carbon taxes from 1995 to 2013. Recent studies on decomposition analysis of changes in CO₂ emissions focused on technology-based physical factors; however, this study analyzes the effects of a carbon tax as an economic factor. According to the results obtained by using the Log Mean Divisia Index, the energy intensity effect and the carbon tax effect contributed the most towards the reduction of total CO₂ emissions in the seven OECD countries. The results for each country show that the emissions decreased due to the energy intensity effect, while the effects of carbon tax and carbon tax revenues differed by policy and environment of the countries.
