Australia has the highest per capita emissions intensity of any OECD member, the report found, emitting nearly 25 tonnes of carbon dioxide per person in 2010.
Performance indicators such as national wealth (GDP per capita), R&D intensity (GERD/GDP) and scientific impact (citations/paper) are used to compare innovation systems.
The conventional view is that low fertility and slower population growth will lead to increased capital intensity and higher per capita income.
Those are the global population, countries' GDP (on a per capita basis), and carbon intensity, or the volume of emissions for a given level of economic activity.
The estimated elasticities for per capita income and energy intensity are positive, statistically significant and robust for both low- and middle-income African countries.
In addition, the explanation of the results prove that changes in per capita GDP and energy intensity are, respectively, the most significant stimulator and inhibitor for emissions' current status.
Its graphic representation consists of a series of three circles, the innermost of which should be occupied by developed countries with absolute, economy-wide targets; the middle one, by emerging economies, with intensity, per capita or relative reduction targets; and the outer circle, by other developing countries, with non-economy-wide targets.
In the African, American, and Western Pacific regions, pyrethroids were used against several diseases, and in the American region, the use intensity per capita was much higher than in other regions.
The standardized coefficients of the independent variables ranked from high to low by their magnitude are: Factor 3, loss per capita, Factor 1, Factor 2, intensity, and Factor 4. Because Factor 2, Factor 4, and intensity are not significant, we do not provide deeper discussion on these variables.

It has higher coefficients of intensity, loss per capita, and Factor 1, and lower coefficients of intercept and Factor 3 than other regions.
