Three variants of CO2 emissions are considered: territorial CO2 emissions, consumption-based CO2 emissions, and CO2 emission intensity. Panel-corrected standard error and panel autoregressive distributed lag estimation methods were applied. Results show that natural resource rent has a positive effect on consumption-based CO2 emissions, and a negative effect on CO2 emission intensity, but has no effect on territorial CO2 emissions. The results show that while high resource rent in SSA appears to finance consumption of pollution-laden imported goods, it worsens neither territorial CO2 emissions nor CO2 emission intensity. Given that importation of dirty goods is an economic system failure which is not imputable to resource rent, it is safe to conclude that, resource rent does not contribute to rising CO2 emissions in SSA. Key Policy Highlights This paper examined the role of natural resource rent in explaining three variants of CO2 emissions; territorial CO2 emissions, consumption-based CO2 emissions, and CO2 emission intensity. Resource rent has a positive effect on consumption-based CO2 emissions, and a negative effect on CO2 emission intensity, but has no effect on territorial CO2 emissions. While high resource rent in SSA appears to finance consumption of pollution-laden goods, it worsens neither territorial CO2 emissions nor CO2 emission intensity. The relationship between resource rent and the three measures of CO2 emissions suggests that resource rent may not be an important contributor to rising CO2 emissions in SSA.","PeriodicalId":44903,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Economics and Policy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48588024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both concepts do not have universal definitions, and literature focuses on building the different fragments of each one to design new ways to understand, analyze and develop policies. Energy poverty is complex and has a multitude of drivers, such as income, energy prices, and buildings/energy efficiency are examples of how different policies are required to erase this problem. Understanding how those policies work together and should be evaluated challenges new perspectives between different fields. Framed in this subject matter, and after an overview of its state of the art, a flexible and systemic framework for policy mix analysis is proposed considering five steps: definition of objectives, instrument selection, single instrument analysis, instruments interaction analysis, and evaluation. The major contribution of the proposed framework is a clear yet adaptable criterion for instruments interaction analysis. Energy poverty literature is reviewed in the optic of how policy mix can help develop and analyze policies for its erasing, and specific criteria for its instruments analysis are suggested.","PeriodicalId":44903,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Economics and Policy","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42277260","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Colombian Orinoco basin occupies an area of approx. thirty-four million hectares, located in the country's east. The literature about the economic valuation of ecosystem services (ES) and the spatial information on natural resources in the Colombian Orinoco basin was revised through various information sources to document the earliest approximation to the state, spatial distribution, and economic value of the natural capital at the scale of biomes, specific ecosystems, and political-administrative units. Our assessment estimated a natural capital loss of 200 billion Int.$2020/year (74% of Colombian GDP in 2020) and a remnant natural capital worth 296 billion Int.$2020/year (more than 100% of Colombia's GDP in 2020) for twelve ecosystem services. This research proves that a potential expansion in livestock production systems will generate an additional loss of natural capital of approximately 282 billion Int.$2020/year. Additionally, we include an analysis based on the GLOBIO4 initiative models, identifying future natural capital losses between 4.8 and 33 billion Int.$2020/year. Lastly, the policy challenges and gaps in research and management concerning this remaining natural capital in the Colombian Orinoco basin are pointed out.","PeriodicalId":44903,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Economics and Policy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2022-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45911004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our work focuses on emissions due to consumption by Spanish households and their variations over the decade 2005–2015. This period has been chosen because two important factors converge: during this decade there was a global economic crisis that affected consumer behaviour, and also during this decade measures were implemented to promote renewable energies and improve energy efficiency. An input–output model is used, differentiating households by income level, extended with Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions data. It is observed that the highest income households have reduced the least GHG emissions associated with their consumption in the period 2005–2010; in contrast, they have reduced them the most in the period 2010–2015. The results obtained allow us to analyse how the GHG emissions of the different sectors of the Spanish economy have varied, highlighting in the period 2005–2010 the fall in emissions in the Mining and quarrying and Electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply sectors; while in the period 2010–2015 the largest falls in emissions occurred in the Mining and quarrying and Construction sectors.","PeriodicalId":44903,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Economics and Policy","volume":"12 1","pages":"363 - 378"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2022-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46896185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given these criteria, the literature has followed two paths to analyse consequentiality. The first uses a discrete method that separates respondents into consequential and inconsequential groups. The second interprets beliefs about consequentiality as continuous. We compare these approaches to identify their strengths and weaknesses. Using the discrete approach, we classify respondents into groups based on whether their responses satisfy various consequentiality criteria. We find that respondents in the inconsequential group have a willingness to pay that is insignificantly different from zero. For those in the consequential group, willingness to pay is positive and depends on the scope of the project. Treating consequentiality as continuous and using the hybrid choice model, we find that individuals who believe their responses will influence policy, policy consequentiality, and those who are concerned about the amenity are more likely to be in favour of the policy. Lastly, income is positively related to payment consequentiality.","PeriodicalId":44903,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Economics and Policy","volume":"12 1","pages":"342 - 362"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2022-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47233469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Increasingly, these efforts involve restoring the function of natural floodplains to attenuate flood risk and provide a range of other ecosystem services. We investigated the capitalization of reduced flood risk from floodplain restoration into housing values in the city of Orting, Washington, USA. Our identification strategy exploits the occurrence of a major high-flow event directly following project construction, which demonstrated the ability of the widened floodplains to attenuate flooding. The prices of homes located within established 100-year or 500-year floodplains were discounted by 3%. Reduced flood risk associated with the floodplain restoration led to a 5% increase in the prices of homes in the 500-year floodplain on average. No evidence of reduced flood risk capitalization was found for homes the 100-year floodplain, where flood insurance rate maps and mandatory insurance requirements remained unchanged across the study period. The results suggest that reduced flood risk associated with floodplain restoration can capitalize into homes outside of designated high-risk zones.","PeriodicalId":44903,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Economics and Policy","volume":"12 1","pages":"305 - 323"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2022-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41680767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In total, 502 values were coded and classified according to the Common International Classification of Ecosystem Services – CICES. Despite being a technique that is not based on primary economic valuation information, Benefits transfer was the most common method used to estimate the value of ESs in Colombia, followed by market prices and contingent valuation. Opportunities for recreation and tourism, climate regulation, habitat conservation, and water have been the most valued ESs. Many important ESs remain unnoticed and are not adequately accounted (e.g. pollination). Additionally, 53% of the information available on the economic values of ESs is concentrated in only 5 of the 32 Colombian departments. Finally, this review highlights the multiple challenges of Colombian academics and practitioners to improve the economic valuation practice and complement and recognize the multiple social relationships and the multiple views in terms of the values nature has.","PeriodicalId":44903,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Economics and Policy","volume":"12 1","pages":"285 - 304"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2022-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42248958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
