| Summary: | The continued growth of global emissions
of carbon dioxide (CO2) and their likely adverse effects on
global warming are focusing debate on the contribution of
various countries to total emissions and the comparability
of efforts across countries in mitigating these emissions.
This paper examines recent trends in CO2 emissions across
countries at different levels of development and asks what
has been contributing to the growth of emissions as well as
to their moderation. The paper applies a decomposition
analysis, an accounting methodology based on a log mean
Divisia index, to analyze the change in CO2 emissions over a decade. |
