Economic Growth, Energy Consumption, Financial Development, International Trade and CO2 Emissions, in Indonesia (2013, background): “But using time series data, Machado [52], Mongelli et al. [57], Ang [5, 6], Song et al. [91], Jalil and Mahmud [44], Shiyi [90], Dhakal [21], Halicioglu [35],Ozturk and Acaravci [67] 3 Alam et al. [2], Fodha and Zaghdoud [28], Nasir and Rehman [61], Shahbaz et al. [88], Shahbaz et al. [86] and Tiwar”
The socioeconomic drivers of China’s primary PM2.5 emissions (2014, methodology): “Both techniques have been widely applied in assessing socioeconomic driving forces for energy and CO2 emissions in China (e.g. Chong et al 2012, Dhakal 2009, Feng et al 2012, Liu et al 2012a,b), but rarely for air pollutants.”
Effects of land urbanization and land finance on carbon emissions: A panel data analysis for Chinese provinces (2017, result): “Third, unlike previous studies, which revealed that urbanization and land use lead to carbon emissions (Dhakal, 2009; Zhang & Lin, 2012), our results show that land urbanization can contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions.”
Evaluating the effectiveness of urban energy conservation and GHG mitigation measures: The case of Xiamen city, China (2010, background): “Policy changes are easier when the impacts of various measures can be properly quantified and analyzed (Dhakal, 2009; Yan and Crookes, 2009).”
The effects of financial development, economic growth, coal consumption and trade openness on CO2 emissions in South Africa (2013, background): “Moreover, Dhakal (2009) examines the relationship between urbanization and CO2 emissions and found that that 40% contribution in CO2 emissions is by 18% increase in population in large cities of China.”
Effects of rural–urban development transformation on energy consumption and CO2 emissions: A regional analysis in China (2015, background): “Considerable attention has been paid to the effects of urbanization on energy consumption and CO2 emissions on different spatial scales in China [23–25].”
A comparison of carbon dioxide (CO2) emission trends among provinces in China (2017, background): “In literature, factors that influence changes of China’s CO2 7 emissions have been widely discussed in previous studies ([1]; [2]; [3]; [4]; [5]).”
Contributing to local policy making on GHG emission reduction through inventorying and attribution: A case study of Shenyang, China (2011, background): “Within China, cities consume 84% of commercial energy, among which the top 35 large cities with 18% of the total population consume 40% energy (Dhakal, 2009).”
Reducing energy and material flows in cities (2010, background): “Urban energy use garners increasing attention, partly in order to estimate and allocate urban greenhouse gas emissions, the vast majority of which are due to energy use [8 ,26,27 ,28 ,29,30 ,31,32,33 ,34,35 ,36,37, 49 ].”
