Economic activity and CO2 emissions in Spain

In this paper, we analyse the relationship between the rate of growth of CO<inf>2</inf> emissions and economic activity in Spain from 1964 to 2020. We explain CO<inf>2</inf> emissions by fitting a structural regression model with selected indicators of economic activity augme...
