The province of British Columbia, Canada, introduced a broad-based revenue-neutral carbon tax in July 2008; the rate was set to $10/tonne of CO2 initially, incrdoi:10.2139/ssrn.3283220Bernard, Jean-ThomasKichian, MaralIslam, Misbahul
This study investigates the impact of urbanization and nonrenewable energy consumption on carbon emissions. The context of the analysis is 54 African Union countries from 1996 to 2019. For estimation, we use panel quantile regression (PQR) and fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS). Our reg...
For an extended period, international economists have focused on trade policies related to natural resources in developing countries. However, prevailing analytical frameworks primarily examine the impact of export and import policies when natural resource stocks are subject to singular or distinct adverse ...
Nunavut, Canada in July 2019 and Aug 2021 (Fig.1e). Surface sediments (< 10 cm) were collected using a shovel which was carefully rinsed with ethanol before each sample collection and transferred to sterile Whirl–Pak® bags (Whirl–Pak® Flitration Group). The samples...
Leakage effects are becoming increasingly relevant for the next unilateral climate policy steps in a number of countries. Among the nations and regions embarking on a stricter climate policy, including ETS, are Australia, New Zealand, and regions and provinces within the United States and Canada. ...
yet natural gas is another significant source of environmental hazard. When natural gas is burned in conjunction with oil production, several pollutants, including carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and black carbon (a major part of particulate matter-PM), are emitted into the environment1,2...
As CH4is responsible for a large proportion of global GHG emissions, changes to the valuation of CH4relative to CO2can strongly affect how much the agricultural sector is forced by policy decision-makers to reduce its GHG emissions and responds to ‘carbon pricing’. In addition, the contrasting...

in confined environments such as underground mines in the United States and Canada. The use of Biodiesel fuels, such as soy-and rapeseed-oil methyl esters, has been shown to significantly reduce emissions of the carbon-soot constituents of diesel particulate matter (PM), while increasing the ...
