Who emits most? Associations between socio-economic factors and UK households' home energy, transport, indirect and total CO2 emissions
Milena Büchs,Sylke V. Schnepf +1 more
TLDR
In this article, the authors examined the relationship between household characteristics and household CO2 emissions for areas such as home energy, transport and indirect emissions and found that these associations vary considerably across emission domains, suggesting that they may be less affected by carbon taxes on transport or total emissions.About:

Benjamin K. Sovacool,Benjamin K. Sovacool,Johannes Kester,Lance Noel,Gerardo Zarazua de Rubens +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a comparative and mixed methods assessment of the demographics of electric mobility and stated preferences for electric vehicles, drawing primarily on a survey distributed to more than 5000 respondents across Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.

Household carbon emission research: an analytical review of measurement, influencing factors and mitigation prospects
TL;DR: In this article, a review of existing literature focusing on the domain of household carbon emissions is presented, which provides a systematic understanding of current work in the field, describing the factors influencing HCEs under the themes of household income, household size, age, education level, location, gender and rebound effects.

The Impact of Social Awareness and Lifestyles on Household Carbon Emissions in China
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the impact of different subjective measures of social awareness on household carbon emissions in China and found that feeling secure, compliance with rules, and happiness have negative and significant effects on household CO2 emissions, whereas the positive impact of interest in social issues is positive, indicating the existence of a gap between awareness and behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distributional effects of carbon taxation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focused on the distributional effects of carbon taxes and contributed to existing studies by providing a classification and discussion on how to comprehensively assess distributional impacts and what measures can be taken to mitigate the potential adverse distributional impact.

What is Equality? Part 2: Equality of Resources
TL;DR: This article argued that an equal division of resources presupposes an economic market of some form, mainly as an analytical device but also, to a certain extent, as an actual political institution.
Book ChapterDOI
What is Equality? Part 1: Equality of Welfare
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider two general theories of distributional equality: the first holds that a distributional scheme treats people as equals when it distributes or transfers resources among them until no further transfer would leave them more equal in welfare.

The carbon footprint of UK households 1990–2004: A socio-economically disaggregated, quasi-multi-regional input–output model

TL;DR: In this article, a socio-economically disaggregated framework for attributing CO2 emissions to people's high level functional needs is presented, based on a quasi-multi-regional input-output (QMRIO) model.

Quantifying the global and distributional aspects of American household carbon footprint
TL;DR: This paper analyzed the global and distributional aspects of American household carbon footprint and found that 30% of total US household CO 2 impact in 2004 occurred outside the US and that households vary considerably in their CO 2 responsibilities: at least a factor of ten difference exists between low and high-impact households.

TL;DR: The authors provide an overview of how generalised multi-regional input-output models can be used for carbon footprint applications, focusing on the relevance and suitability of such evidence to inform decision making.
