PIB per cápita y emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero en Europa

Rupérez Calavera, Germán and Molina, Jose Alberto (2022): PIB per cápita y emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero en Europa.

Abstract

A hot debate during the last years is going around the fact that our economies are based on natural resources consumption and up to which extend should we prioritize economic growth instead of sacrificing it in benefit of the environment. To analyze this problematic we will compare the greenhouse emissions of a variety of European countries with the GDP per capita of those countries to analyze the relationship among these two variables.

• Item Type: MPRA Paper
• English Title: GDP per capita and greenhouse gas emissions in Europe
• Language: English
• Keywords: Emissions, GDP per capita, greenhouse gas, pollution, climate change, economic growth
• Subjects: Q - Agricultural and Natural Resource Economics ; Environmental and Ecological Economics > Q0 - General > Q01 - Sustainable Development; Q - Agricultural and Natural Resource Economics ; Environmental and Ecological Economics > Q5 - Environmental Economics > Q50 - General
