Abstract

El objetivo de este estudio es avanzar en la investigación de los factores que han resultado más influyentes en el hecho de que, en algunos países, determinadas emisiones contaminantes se hayan reducido a pesar de los incrementos del PIB. Para ello, se lleva a cabo una descomposición de las tasas de crecimiento de las emisiones de CO2 y de azufre de países OCDE utilizando técnicas econométricas, prestando una especial atención al papel desempeñado por la elevación en los precios del petróleo.
