Sometimes the fun is in the footnotes. This is from: Darwili, A., & Schröder, E. (2025). Which countries have offshored carbon dioxide emissions in net terms?. Ecological Economics, 235, 108597. #AcademicChatter #SwissExceptionalism #Sweden #Energy #Trade #ClimateChange

Footnote from mentioned academic paper which reads: In the interest of transparency: we initially set the threshold at 10 million, a nice and round number. We lowered the threshold after noticing it would exclude Sweden and Switzerland. Both countries are worth studying on account of their trade-intensive economies with exceptionally clean energy systems.
