This study examines the convergence of greenhouse gas emissions per capita across the 19 Spanish regions using the Phillips-Sul club convergence approach over the period spanning from 1990 to 2017. The results indicate the presence of four clubs which converge to different equilibria in emissions per capita and three clubs in terms of income per capita, which involves different regions. These findings suggest that mitigation policies should explicitly consider the presence of different clubs of regions with different convergence paths in terms of emissions and income per capita and address the distributional effect of transfers across regions.
本研究采用 Phillips-Sul 俱乐部收敛方法,考察了 1990 年至 2017 年期间,西班牙 19 个地区人均温室气体排放量的收敛情况。结果表明,存在四个俱乐部,它们在人均排放量方面收敛到不同的均衡状态,三个俱乐部在人均收入方面收敛到不同的均衡状态,这涉及到不同的地区。这些发现表明,缓解政策应明确考虑到不同地区俱乐部的存在,这些俱乐部在人均排放量和收入方面具有不同的收敛路径,并解决跨地区转移的分配效应。
