What Accounts for the Growth of Carbon Dioxide Emissions in Advanced and Emerging Economies? The Role of Consumption, Technology, and Global Supply Chain Trade
Ferrarini, Benno; de Vries, Gaaitzen J. | October 2015
Abstract
This paper examines the changes in territorial carbon dioxide emissions due to changes in energy intensity
within global production networks, supply chain participation, and domestic and foreign consumption. It
finds that a substantial share of emissions growth in emerging economies is explained by higher participation
in global production networks that serve expanding foreign consumption. However, even for countries that
most rapidly integrated in global production networks, such as the People’s Republic of China, rising domestic
consumption accounts for the bulk of territorial emissions. Improved energy efficiency partially stemmed the
spike in emissions from higher consumer demand.

Accountability Mechanism: Listening to Communities Affected by ADB-Assisted Projects and Enhancing Development Effectiveness
Asian Development Bank (Asian Development Bank, 2009-03-15)In May 2003, ADB approved a new accountability mechanism to replace the previous Inspection Function. The mechanism was established to provide better access for people adversely affected by ADBassisted projects to voice and seek solutions to their problems and also report alleged violations of ADB’s operational policies and procedures. Establishment of the mechanism is also an effort to enhance ADB’s ...In May 2003, ADB approved a new accountability mechanism to replace the previous Inspection Function.

Managing Reforms for Development: Political Economy of Reforms and Policy-Based Lending Case Studies
Abonyi, George; Bernardo, Romeo; Bolt, Richard; Duncan, Ronald; Tang, Christine (Asian Development Bank, 2013-01-01)The book’s intended readers are development practitioners involved in the policy reform process. It aims to help them understand political economy factors that shape actual outcomes, and to simplify the complexities of policy reform. Successful reform has to resolve two separate and conflicting dimensions: people and time. Reforms, by their very nature, challenge the status quo, often threatening ...The book’s intended readers are development practitioners involved in the policy reform process.

Multilateralizing Asian Regionalism
Baldwin, Richard; Kawai, Masahiro (Asian Development Bank Institute, 2013-08-15)Motivated by the proliferation of free trade agreements (FTAs) in Asia over the last decade, this paper studies the challenges faced by the Asian “noodle bowl”—overlapping, multiple trade rules, regulations, and standards in Asia—in the process of regional and global trade integration. The paper first highlights the importance of trade and investment linkages among Asian economies that have formed ...Motivated by the proliferation of free trade agreements (FTAs) in Asia over the last decade, this paper studies the challenges faced by the Asian “noodle bowl”—overlapping, multiple trade rules, regulations, and standards in Asia—in the process of ...
