Emissions pricing to stabilize global climate

Bosetti, Valentina; Paltsev, Sergey V.; Reilly, John M.; … - 2011

In the absence of significant greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation, many analysts project that atmospheric concentrations of species identified for control in the Kyoto protocol could exceed 1000 ppm (carbon-dioxide-equivalent) by 2100 from the current levels of about 435 ppm. This could lead to...

On the mechanism of international technology diffusion for energy technological progress

Jin, Wei; Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2015

International diffusion of energy-saving technologies has received considerable attention in recent energy and climate economics studies. As a helpful methodological complement to the existing large-scale CGE/IAM-based modelling for energy and climate policy studies, this paper contributes to a...

Intermediate input linkage and carbon leakage

Zhang, Zengkai; Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2016

Climate regulations tend to target energy intensive sectors whose products are widely used in industrial production as intermediate inputs, such as electricity, and the carbon abatement may be partially offset by intermediate input-led leakage. This paper aims to examine the impact of...

Is environmentalism the right strategy to decarbonize the world?

Marini, Marco; Tarola, Ornella; Thisse, Jacques-François - 2020

We study how the supply of environmentalism, which is defined by psychic benefits (costs) associated with the purchase of high-environmental (low-environmental) qualities, affects the way firms choose their products and the ensuing consequences for the global level of pollution. Contrary to...

Multilateral trade measures in a post-2012 climate change regime? : what can be taken from the Montreal Protocol and the WTO?

Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2009 - This version: June 2009

The climate-trade nexus gains increasing attention as governments are taking great efforts to forge a post-2012 climate change regime to succeed the Kyoto Protocol. This raises the issues of the scope of trade-related measures and of when and how they could be used. This paper discusses how far...

Global climate policy architecture and political feasibility: specific formulas and emission targets to attain 460 ppm CO2 concentrations

Bosetti, Valentina; Frankel, Jeffrey A. - 2009

Three gaps in the Kyoto Protocol most badly need to be filled: the absence of emission targets extending far into the future, the absence of participation by the United States, China, and other developing countries, and the absence of reason to think that members will abide by commitments. To be...

Politics and economics of second-best regulation of greenhouse gases : the importance of regulatory credibility

Bosetti, Valentina; Victor, David G. - 2010

Modellers have examined a wide array of ideal-world scenarios for regulation of greenhouse gases. In this ideal world …”—which has a strikingly small impact on total world cost of carbon regulations if international trade in emission credits allows … another factor that analysts have largely ignored: credibility. In the real world governments find it difficult to craft and …
