carbon emissions

I hate airlines' practice of charging to check bags even though I rarely check bags.  But I understand the economics.

Kahn and Glaeser also estimated the difference in carbon emissions between cities and suburbs for 48 MSAs.

 I've again converted that to gallons of gasoline.  (See the last post for their methodology and caveats.)

Nashville, surprisingly, tops the list:

Back in March, I wrote about economists Matthew Kahn and Ed Glaeser's work comparing carbon emissions among metropolitan areas.

Among other things, they estimated how carbon emissions from driving vary across metropolitan areas.

 The variation in gasoline use is just as interesting, though.  Kahn and Glaeser did not explicitly calculate this, but I did the simple arithmetic to convert their estimates of carbon emissions to estimates of gasoline use.

 

I've done some more thinking about the Glaser and Kahn paper I bogged about the other day.  Glaser and Kahn examine total energy use among major metropolitan areas in order to compare cities carbon emissions.  But their data also allow us to compare gasoline use city by city.  That's just as interesting a

Economists Ed Glaeser and Matthew Kahn have written a new paper estimating the differences in carbon emissions across different metropolitan areas.
