Greenhouse gas emissions convergence in Spain: evidence from the club clustering approach
This study examines the convergence of greenhouse gas emissions per capita across the 19 Spanish regions using the Phillips-Sulclub convergence approach over the period spanning from 1990 to 2017.

| Summary: | This study examines the convergence of greenhouse gas emissions per capita across the 19 Spanish regions using the Phillips-Sulclub convergence approach over the period spanning from 1990 to 2017. The results indicate the presence of four clubs whichconverge to different equilibria in emissions per capita and three clubs in terms of income per capita, which involves differentregions. These findings suggest that mitigation policies should explicitly consider the presence of different clubs of regions withdifferent convergence paths in terms of emissions and income per capita and address the distributional effect of transfers acrossregions. |
