Emissions data were sourced from the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) at the installation level and subsequently aggregated to the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) 2 level as defined by EUROSTAT. Demographic and economic variables, namely population (as of 1 January) and industrial gross value added (GVA, expressed in million euros), were obtained from EUROSTAT. Changes in the NUTS 2 classification during the considered period required dataset harmonization and imputation techniques to address missing values.
