IMPACT OF STRUCTURAL REFORMS ON CLIMATE CHANGE: EVIDENCE FROM 26 OECD COUNTRIES

This Master Thesis empirically assesses, using different panel data techniques, the effects of structural reforms on climate change. Therefore, two sets of proxies are used: one on emissions given by the Greenhouse Gases; the second, an aggregate index from the Notre-Dame GAIN project capturing the proxy resilience and vulnerability to climate transformation. The analysis relies on a sample of 26 advanced OECD countries with data from 1970 until 2013.
