dc.description.abstract | In this paper we evaluate whether the US states have been able to achieve convergence in their carbon
emission cycles which may be a key factor in taking a leap as regards the development of a US climate
change policy. The use of a dynamic unobserved component approach and a time-varying parameter
model enable estimation of the short run dynamics of energy convergence over the extended period
1960e2017. To date, this type of analysis has not received enough attention in the literature. The results
reveal the existence of cross-state links in the fluctuations of CO2 emissions, although the degree to
which a good part of the states are co-moving is weak. We also find that cyclical convergence patterns
differ considerably in both the level and trajectories across the US states. The difficulties in increasing
synchronization of the US CO2 emissions highlight the importance of the states to lead climate change
mitigation actions. The present study presents valuable information of interest regarding the short-run
characteristics in carbon dioxide emissions, for better understanding of factors affecting CO2 mitigation
policies. | es |
