“…Global warming caused by human production and consumption activities is a serious crisis facing the world [1]. To meet this crisis, countries must change the way industrial production and human life work to promote the sustainable development of a low-carbon economy [2][3][4]. In 2018, China's total carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions exceeded 10 billion tons, exceeding the combined carbon emissions of the United States and Europe, China's economic development direction is of great significance to global climate efforts [3,5].…”

Climate change poses unprecedented challenges for humanity. Reducing carbon intensity is an inevitable choice for tackling climate change and promoting sustainable development. China has made some emission reduction commitments in the international community to promote the decoupling of China’s economic development from carbon emissions. The realization of the industrial structure from the “single-wheel drive” of the manufacturing to the “two-wheel drive” economic development model of the service industry and the manufacturing has become a key measure to achieve China’s economic intensive development. According to resource misallocation situation in different regions, this paper explored the impact of the collaborative agglomeration between producer services and manufacturing (hereinafter referred to as industrial co-agglomeration) on carbon intensity. The research results show that the carbon intensity is decreasing year by year, and the degree of intensification of China’s economic growth continues to increase. Moreover, the effect of industrial co-agglomeration to promote carbon emission reduction is significantly limited by the degree of misallocated resources, and there is a double threshold effect. Specifically, in areas where resource allocation is reasonable, industrial co-agglomeration can produce significant agglomeration effects and promote carbon intensity reduction. Once the degree of misallocated resources exceeds a threshold level, the agglomeration effect will turn into a crowding effect, resulting in an inability to reduce carbon intensity. We comprehensively analyzed the driving factors for reducing carbon intensity and proposed policy pathways for achieving China’s carbon intensity target.

“…Long memory is a feature of time series that are characterised by a high degree of dependence between observations which are far apart in time. It has been found to be displayed by many time series in different fields such as climatology (Gil-Alana 2005, 2008Vyushin and Kushner 2009;Franzke 2012;Ludescher et al 2016;Bunde 2017;Yuan et al 2019;Bruneau et al 2020), environmental sciences (Barros et al 2016;Gil-Alana et al 2016;Tiwari et al 2016;Solarin 2018, Gil-Alana andTrani 2019;Xayasouk et al 2020) and economics and finance (Gil-Alana and Moreno 2012;Abritti et al 2017;Kalemkerian and Sosa 2020;Murialdo et al 2020;Qiu et al 2020).…”

This paper examines the statistical properties of daily PM10 in eight European capitals (Amsterdam, Berlin, Brussels, Helsinki, London, Luxembourg, Madrid and Paris) over the period 2014–2020 by applying a fractional integration framework; this is more general than the standard approach based on the classical dichotomy between I(0) stationary and I(1) non-stationary series used in most other studies on air pollutants. All series are found to be characterised by long memory and fractional integration, with orders of integration in the range (0, 1), which implies that mean reversion occurs and shocks do not have permanent effects. Persistence is the highest in the case of Brussels, Amsterdam and London. The presence of negative trends in Brussels, Paris and Berlin indicates some degree of success in reducing pollution in these capitals.

“…(2013) Tiwari et al . (2016), Gil‐Alana and Solarin (2018) and Gil‐Alana and Trani (2018) to name just a few have examined the stationarity of the emissions. Among the few papers relating temperatures and emissions, McMillan and Wohar (2013) investigated jointly and individually the two variables using unit root tests and others autorregression models, concluding that CO 2 has a weak relationship with temperature, not finding evidence of a trending pattern.…”

This paper deals with the analysis of the relationship between CO 2 emissions and temperatures. For this purpose, global CO 2 emissions and four measures of global temperatures (land, land and ocean, northern and southern temperatures) are used. We used techniques based on fractional integration and cointegration. The results indicate first that the orders of integration differ in the two variables. Thus, while emissions are I(1) or I(d) with d higher than 1, temperatures display orders of integration strictly smaller than 1 and thus invalidating the hypothesis of cointegration between the two variables. Due to this, another approach is conducted where we suppose that the emissions are weakly exogenous in relation to the temperatures. The results using this approach show a significantly positive relationship between the two variables with a long memory pattern.

According to Nicholls et al. (1996), Jones and Wigley (2010), Folland et al. (2018), among others, the temperature on the Earth's surface has raised significantly over the last 100 years. This has been caused by industrialization and the effect of burning and emissions of fossil fuel, greenhouse gas concentration that affects the atmosphere (Anderegg et al., 2010; Beckage et al., 2018, etc.), but also by the innate variability of the climate system (e.g., solar irradiance) or by the combination of the two. The most noticeable aspect is the strong correspondence between temperature and the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (see Zickfeld et al., 2012; McMillan and Wohar, 2013; Zickfeld et al., 2016). According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), carbon dioxide concentration and temperatures have the same behaviour and they
