Expert Solution

In the Emissions Scenarios Step, IPAT equation predicts the impact of future carbon dioxide emissions based on the dynamics of population, wealth, technology and energy.

I=P×A×T

The above equation shows impact of human on the environment mainly on three factors such as population (P), affluence (A) and technology (T). It is sane as the Kaya identity which applies to emissions of the greenhouse gas ,that is,carbon dioxide.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are widely believed to be a driver of global climate change. In this problem set you will use cross-section data to test what drives countries’ “carbon footprints,” that is, their CO2 emissions. Is it population, or is income the bigger culprit? The data set “CO2 by country 2010 sh S17” contains data on a sample of countries’ CO2 emissions, in kilotons; population, in millions; and gross national income (GNI), in millions of US dollars, for the...

1. Suppose that Climate Change is caused the emissions of carbon dioxide and methane gases. Suppose further that the United Nations proposes a policy to combat these emissions to reduce the impact of Climate Change. This policy proposes that each country in the world reduces their carbon dioxide and methane emissions by 50% over the next two years (i.e., each country should cut their emissions by half). The United Nations suggests that countries could tax polluters to get them to...

Consider the problem of carbon dioxide emissions. We will abstract away from the problem slightly, assuming there are pollutions and consumer in two regions, the OECD (O) and the rest of the world (R). Suppose the marginal cost of controlling CO2 emissions is $10 per ton of emissions. Let the marginal willingness to pay for pollution reduction be 13-Q for region O and 12-2Q for region R, where Q is the amount of pollution reduction. The United Nations is considering...

Which of the following best describes a cap-and-trade system? It reduces carbon dioxide emissions without government intervention by rewarding companies that self-regulate to remain competitive. It rewards states for enacting stricter environmental standards than required by the national government. It restricts fossil fuel industry lobbyists from making campaign contributions, thereby allowing members of Congress to vote for climate change regulations without fear of electoral consequences. It limits emissions and uses market-based incentives for businesses to more efficiently use energy. he...
