Modeling the impact of production factors on carbon dioxide emissions by sectors of economic activity
DOI: 10.33917/mic-4.111.2023.29-41
The solution of climate problems, accompanied by the development and implementation of carbon regulation mechanisms in international markets, determines the need to reduce the carbon intensity of the Russian economy in order to maintain its competitiveness. The article analyzes the influence of production factors on total CO2 emissions in Russia on the basis of official statistics. During the study, it was hypothesized that the improvement of production factors will contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions. To test it, a simulation based on panel data was carried out. Special attention was paid to the problem of CO2 emissions by sectors of economic activity.
