TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the impact of green technology innovations on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions based on a data panel covering 71 economies from 1996 to 2012, and found that green technology innovation does not significantly contribute to reducing CO2 emissions for the economies whose income levels are below the threshold while the mitigation effect becomes significant for those whose incomes levels surpass the threshold.
385 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that green technology innovations can only take effects for economies with high income, and it is difficult to find significant evidence that green technologies positively impact carbon productivity in less developed economies.
343 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate the heterogeneous impacts of environmental regulation on green technology innovation and industrial structure in 105 Chinese environmental monitoring cities through the partially linear functional-coefficient panel models.
332 citations
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the effect of environmental regulation on technological innovations based on the provincial panel data of industrial sectors in China during the years 2005-2015, and found that industries with a higher degree of market competition and higher human capital investment tend to have stronger technological innovation capabilities.
247 citations
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper employed a newly developed non-radial directional distance function to evaluate China's regional energy and CO2 emission performance for the period 1997-2009, and analyzed the impact of China's market-oriented reform on China's region energy and carbon efficiency.

TL;DR: In this article, a model with a set of Cournot firms, a collection of competitive fringe participants and an explicit representation of the electrical network illustrates the possible strategic interactions, where a generator would exercise market power by increasing its production in order to block transmission of a disproportionate amount of competing generation.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of 144 published scholarly papers appearing in 45 high-ranking journals between 2006 and 2015 have been obtained to achieve a comprehensive review of DEA application in energy efficiency, where the selected articles have been categorized based on year of publication; author (s) nationalities, scope of study, time duration, application area, study purpose, results and outcomes.
Abstract: The main aim of this review article is to review of DEA models in regarding to energy efficiency. This paper reviewed and summarized the different models of DEA that have been applied around the world to development of energy efficiency problems. Consequently, a review of 144 published scholarly papers appearing in 45 high-ranking journals between 2006 and 2015 have been obtained to achieve a comprehensive review of DEA application in energy efficiency. Accordingly, the selected articles have been categorized based on year of publication; author (s) nationalities, scope of study, time duration, application area, study purpose, results and outcomes. Results of this review paper indicated that DEA showed great promise to be a good evaluative tool for future analysis on energy efficiency issues, where the production function between the inputs and outputs was virtually absent or extremely difficult to acquire.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors used the panel data of 30 Chinese provinces for the period 2005-2016 to investigate the relationship between environmental regulation and China's total factor energy efficiency (hereafter GTFEE).

TL;DR: In this article, Copeland and Taylor established a powerful theoretical framework for examining the impact of international trade on local pollution levels, and used it to offer a uniquely integrated treatment of the links between economic growth, liberalized trade, and the environment.
Abstract: Nowhere has the divide between advocates and critics of globalization been more striking than in debates over free trade and the environment. And yet the literature on the subject is high on rhetoric and low on results. This book is the first to systematically investigate the subject using both economic theory and empirical analysis. Brian Copeland and Scott Taylor establish a powerful theoretical framework for examining the impact of international trade on local pollution levels, and use it to offer a uniquely integrated treatment of the links between economic growth, liberalized trade, and the environment. The results will surprise many.
The authors set out the two leading theories linking international trade to environmental outcomes, develop the empirical implications, and examine their validity using data on measured sulfur dioxide concentrations from over 100 cities worldwide during the period from 1971 to 1986.
The empirical results are provocative. For an average country in the sample, free trade is good for the environment. There is little evidence that developing countries will specialize in pollution-intensive products with further trade. In fact, the results suggest just the opposite: free trade will shift pollution-intensive goods production from poor countries with lax regulation to rich countries with tight regulation, thereby lowering world pollution. The results also suggest that pollution declines amid economic growth fueled by economy-wide technological progress but rises when growth is fueled by capital accumulation alone.
Lucidly argued and authoritatively written, this book will provide students and researchers of international trade and environmental economics a more reliable way of thinking about this contentious issue, and the methodological tools with which to do so.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the energy efficiency performance of a sample of 71 developed and developing countries between 1990 and 2014 and found evidence of a significant positive influence of both green innovation and institutional quality on energy efficiency enhancement having controlled for some variables.
