OECD 국가의 이산화탄소 배출량 분해분석

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper presents an alternative decomposition technique to identify the relative importance of factors associated with changes in CO2 emissions by using directional distance function to model the joint production of desirable and undesirable outputs. The key feature of the proposed approach is the introduction of fossil and non-fossil fuel energy input efficiencies, productivity change and emission intensity change. For the 27 OECD countries as a whole, the empirical results indicate that economic growth is the most important contributor to CO2 emissions increase, while efficiency change is the most important component to CO2 emissions reduction between 1980 and 2007. For more extensive insights, this paper divided 3 groups according to the emission growth rate and find out that high emission countries show relatively low production efficiencies and technical changes contributing CO2 emissions increase. The results also provide that more strict environmental regulations are needed to improve the pollution intensity in these countries.
