Description
Under the direction of Dr. Pablo Hernandez
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are characterized as major inhabitants of the EU proposal to become the world’s first carbon-neutral continent by the year 2050. This project examines the capabilities of consumption as a factor of GDP to further account for coinciding cyclical trends and their eventual collapse. The agglomerations of the natural logs for necessary proxies were determined to ultimately compare to carbon dioxide totals measured in units of kilotons (kt). The utilization of the Environmental Impact Population Affluence Technology (IPAT) equation allows the eventual comparisons to be taken following appropriate markers of such equation and model. The case study consists of examining a sample of member countries of the EU-27 with a cross-country analysis spanning from 2008-20. These countries include Belgium (BEL), Germany (DEU), Denmark (DNK), France (FRA), Hungary (HUN), Italy (ITA), Netherlands (NLD), and Spain (ESP). The proposed hypothesis sustains that CO2 emissions will be explained by IPAT technology while controlling for externalities such as geographical propensities and population densities.
