Institute, Biskopsgatan 3
Seminar leader: Astrid Kander, Professor of
Economic History at Lund University
This seminar will
highlight one drawback of the currently very popular consumption based
emission estimates for assessing the impact of international trade on
carbon dioxide emissions in individual countries. The MRIO (multi
regional input-output) method and the SRIO (single regional
input-output) method with actual technologies are similar in that they
aim at allocating all global CO emissions to the country of consumption
of the commodities rather than to the producer country. However, both
methods have one severe drawback when they are used for assessing
responsibility for global emissions; i.e., they neglect the
NEGA-emissions, which are the saved emissions in developing countries
due to importing goods produced using cleaner technologies in developed
countries.
If the amount of CO emissions of a countrys
consumption, adjusted for international trade, is the key question, then
the appropriate method should be the MRIO method (or the SRIO with
actual technologies), adjusted for the NEGA-emissions possibly incurred.
It is suggested that this revised method could also result in all
countries emissions summing up to actual global emissions. This new way
of measuring responsibility would increase the legitimacy of the
calculations as a measure of responsibility for emissions because both
the consumption levels and patterns and the production technologies and
energy systems of all nations would be taken into account.
This
seminar is part of the Pufendorf-based research project on Consumption,
Environment, and the Generation Goal.

Open Seminar
Radiation, STS, and Epistemic Justice: 6 August 1945 to 11 March 2011
Speaker: guest reseacher at the Pufendorf institute - Sharon Traweek, professor history and women’s studies. UCLA,
STS offers many ways to study radiation: physics, bombs, medicine, measurement, and reactors; disaster, illness, risk, policy, and public engagement; gender, ethnicity, class, and nationality. All of these topics have shaped my research on high energy physicists during the last 35 years. Miranda Fricker’s concept of epistemic justice pro- vides a way to trace these faultlines.
The seminar is part of an initiative to assemble researchers interested and engaged in the science and technology studies field (STS) at Lund University. It is organized in collaboration between Pufendorf Institute for Advanced Studies, Centre for Gender Studies and Department of Arts and Cultural Sciences.
