Assessing the fuel Use and greenhouse gas emissions of future light-duty vehicles in Japan
Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is of great concern in Japan, as well as elsewhere, such as in the U.S. and EU. More than 20% of GHG emissions in Japan come from the transportation sector, and a more than 70% reduction in GHG emissions by 2050 has been projected as a feasible goal. It is …

Economic analysis of international climate cooperation
… international cooperation on net-zero carbon emission among sixteen geographic regions. I find that achieving net-zero emission by mid-century reduces global social welfare loss by up to 35%, accounting for the emission reduction cost. However, I show that this international cooperation …
