Torben Klarl has published a paper about the response of CO2 emissions to the business cycle in the leading scientific journal for energy economics, Energy Economics. Using a rolling-regression approach and a Regime-Switching model the author finds evidence for a regime-dependent emission elasticity in the U.S.. This contribution provides important information for the estimation and calibration of so-called dynamic general equilibrium models in an environmental context, so-called environmental DSGE models.
