The effect of a carbon tax on per capita carbon dioxide emissions: evidence from Finland

Elbaum, Jean-David - 2021

This paper is a quasi-replication of Andersson (2019). I use the synthetic control method to estimate the effect of a carbon tax starting at $1.41 per tonne of CO2 and increased through successive reforms to $20 by 2011. The results show that, one year after the intervention, the tax reduced CO2...

Seductive subsidies? An analysis of second-degree moral hazard in the context of photovoltaic solar systems

Reins, Evert - 2021 - this version: July 2021

This paper studies how subsidies for solar systems can lead to second-degree moral hazard - the impulse of installers … installers into specific subsidy levels, I quantify the impact of subsidy levels on total costs and electricity output of solar … systems in California. The results are consistent with hypothesized drivers of second-degree moral hazard. First, larger …

Framework for analysis of solar energy systems in the built environment from an exergy perspective

Torío, H.; Schmidt, D. - In: Renewable Energy 35 (2010) 12, pp. 2689-2697

advantageous. Yet, due to physical inconsistencies present in the exergy analysis framework for assessing direct-solar systems … commonly found in literature, high exergy losses arise in the conversion process of solar radiation in direct-solar systems …. However, these losses are disregarded in indirect-solar systems. …
