Abstract: This study investigates the impact of the European Union (EU) energy policy on decoupling economic growth from emissions in the EU countries in the period between 1995 and 2017. The following three types of greenhouses gas emissions are considered in the study: emissions covered by the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), production-based emissions (PBA), and consumption-based emissions (CBA). Decoupling emissions from the output is assessed in the successive phases of the EU ETS for trend components in the long run and for cyclical components in the short run.
