Resumen
In this study, we analysed the evolution of the polarization in the global distribution of the main greenhouse gases: the carbon dioxide, the methane, the nitrous oxide and the fluorinated gases. For this purpose, we apply the multidimensional polarization indices proposed by Gigliariano and Mosler (2009) which are based on the interregional and intraregional components of the multidimensional generalised entropy measures (Maasoumi, 1986; Maasoumi and Nickelsburg, 1988). The analysis has been carried out for the time period 1990-2014, considering an endogenous grouping of countries (Aghevli and Mehran, 1981; Davies and Shorrocks, 1989) and allowing that the groups of countries can be constituted in a different manner in each year.
