abstract: 'The well-established association between economic output and carbon
|
|
|
|
emissions has led researchers in sociology and related disciplines to
|
|
|
|
study new approaches to climate change mitigation, including policies
|
|
|
|
that stabilize or reduce GDP growth. Within this degrowth approach,
|
|
|
|
working time reduction is a key policy lever to reduce emissions as well
|
|
|
|
as protect employment. In the United States, the abdication of
|
|
|
|
responsibility for mitigation by the federal government has led to the
|
|
|
|
emergence of state climate leadership. This study is the first to
|
|
|
|
analyze the relationship between emissions and working hours at the
|
|
|
|
state level. Our findings suggest that over the 2007-2013 period,
|
|
|
|
state-level carbon emissions and average working hours have a strong,
|
|
|
|
positive relationship, which holds across a variety of model estimation
|
|
|
|
techniques and net of various political, economic, and demographic
|
|
|
|
drivers of emissions. We conclude that working time reduction may
|
|
|
|
represent a multiple dividend policy, contributing to enhanced quality
|
|
|
|
of life and lower unemployment as well as emissions mitigation.'
