• Modelling the nonlinear relationship between CO2 emissions from oil and economic growth (2012, background): “For instance, Grossman and Krueger (1991), Gallagher (2004), and Stern (2007) focus on Mexico; Carson et al. (1997) and Aldy (2005) study the United States; List and Gallet (1999) look at both OECD and non-OECD countries in their sample; Vincent (1997) focuses on Malaysia; and Auffhammer and Carson…”
• A spatial panel data approach to estimating U.S. state-level energy emissions (2013, methodology): “4 To make our empirical estimates comparable with the results of Aldy (2005) we can”
• Are there environmental Kuznets curves for US state-level CO2 emissions? (2017, methodology): “…in favor of the EKC for both these pollutants.3 As can be seen from above, the literature on EKC at regional-level for the US has primarily concentrated on SO2 and NOx emissions, with the exceptions being Aldy (2005), and Carson et al., (1997) to some extent, who concentrated on CO2 emissions.”
• Forecasting The Path of U.S. CO2 Emissions Using State-Level Information (2012, unknown): “Aldy (2005) correctly points out that the existence of a negative marginal propensity to emit (MPE) carbon at the highest levels of income has large consequences for out-of-sample carbon forecasts.”
• Per Capita Carbon Dioxide Emissions: Convergence or Divergence? (2005, background): “See Aldy (2005a) for evidence that per capita emissions vary with heating and cooling demand and historic energy endowments among the U.”
• Divergence in State-Level Per Capita Carbon Dioxide Emissions (2007, methodology): “The income variable used in these analyses is the state personal income series of the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA 2000).7 This series has been used in environmental Kuznets curve and economic growth papers (e.g., Aldy 2005, Barro and Sala-i-Martin 1992).”
• The Environmental Kuznets Curve: Seeking Empirical Regularity and Theoretical Structure (2010, background): “Completing our tour of the United States is Aldy (2005), who looks at estimated CO2 emissions (based on fossil fuel use) across the forty-eight continental U.S. states from 1960 to 1999. Consistent with Carson, Jeon, and McCubbin’s (1997) cross-sectional result, Aldy finds evidence supporting an EKC”
• Climate change policy and international trade: Policy considerations in the US (2009, background): “In fact, several studies have now shown that many countries appear increasingly clean due to the out-sourcing of pollution (Aldy, 2005; Cole and Elliott, 2005; Rothman, 2000; Suri and Chapman, 1998; Weber and Matthews, 2007; Wiedmann et al., 2008).”
