Environmental And Energy Policy Impacts: OECD

This dataset provides comprehensive panel data (2000-2019) on various environmental and energy metrics across two regions, focusing on indicators that influence CO2 emissions.
It includes data from OECD statistics and encompasses variables that serve as indicators of smart urban development and governmental policies.
Researchers and policymakers can use this dataset to analyze the impact of various factors on CO2 emissions and to compare the effectiveness of environmental policies between OECD countries in Europe and America. The dataset is valuable for exploring significant differences and similarities in environmental and energy policies, municipal waste management, renewable energy adoption, and technology development.

Variables included:

• Production-based CO2 emissions
• Total primary energy supply
• Renewable energy supply, % total energy supply
• Municipal waste recycled or composted, % treated waste
• Mortality from exposure to ambient PM2.5
• Welfare costs of premature mortalities from exposure to ambient PM2.5
• Development of environment-related technologies, % all technologies
• Relative advantage in environment-related technology
• Environmentally related taxes, % GDP
• Terrestrial protected area, % land area
• Population density inhabitants per km²

Usage:
This dataset is ideal for analyzing the determinants of CO2 emissions and understanding the effectiveness of different environmental policies. Users can explore:

• The relationship between renewable energy supply and CO2 emissions.
• Comparative analysis of CO2 emissions across OECD countries in Europe and America.
• Evaluation of the effectiveness of environmental policies and their economic implications.
• Assessment of the role of renewable energy and technology development in reducing emissions.
• Exploration of smart urban development indicators and their impact.
• The impact of municipal waste management practices on environmental outcomes.
• Differences in environmental technology development between European and American OECD countries.
• The influence of population density and urban development on CO2 emissions.
• Statistical tests to test significant difference between the two regions.
• Forecasting emissions for both regions
• Scenario tests such as Monte Carlo Simulations
