Abstract
Questo lavoro si concentra sulle performance ambientali dell’industria manifatturiera europea. L’obiettivo è verificare l’esistenza della convergenza β assoluta e relative e della convergenza σ in termini di produttività ambientale (il rapport tra il valore aggiunto e le emission di anidride carbonica in ciascun settore) in 14 settori per il periodo 1995-2009, utilizzando i dati del database WIOD. I risultati supportano l’ipotesi dell’esistenza di convergenza β assoluta ed evidenziano il ruolo di variabili aggiuntive quali l’apertura al commercio e lo stock di conoscenze nell’influenzare le performance ambientali a livello settoriale. Non è presente evidenza statistica per la convergenza σ.Riferimenti bibliografici
