Gathering Support for Green Tax Reform: Evidence from German Household Surveys

“…The parameters from the estimated demand system can be used to compute own price and expenditure elasticities 8 which are given in Tables A.4-A.6. These elasticities are in line with earlier studies using the same data (Tovar and Wölfing, 2018;Pothen and Tovar, 2018;Nikodinoska and Schröder, 2016). We present estimates for the first and fourth expenditure quartiles.…”

Characteristics of the global copper raw materials and scrap trade systems and the policy impacts of China's import ban

“…Copper is one of the most significant basic substances for social and economic development because of its high electroconductibility, thermal conductivity and chemical stability (Figge et al, 2017;Li et al, 2017;Pothen and Reaños, 2018;Sverdrup et al, 2014).…”

From local to national metabolism: a review and a scale-up framework

“…MF is defined as the sum of all materials extracted to produce the final demand along the supply chain, irrespectively of where the materials have been used. Domestic material consumption (DMC), the indicators of direct material use, it records domestically extracted plus imported minus exported materials, the MF does not falsely indicate dematerialisation if a country offshores material-intensive production [89].…”
