Economic and environmental impacts of a carbon adder in New York

Akɪn-Olçum, Gökçe; Böhringer, Christoph; … - 2019

New York is considering additional emission regulation on top of its obligations under the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) to achieve its State Energy Plan targets. The proposed measure is a so-called "carbon adder" on CO2 emissions from the power sector which is set as the difference...

US climate policy : a critical assessment of intensity standards

Böhringer, Christoph; Garcia-Muros, Xaquín; … - 2015

Intensity standards have gained substantial momentum as a regulatory instrument in US climate policy. Based on numerical simulations with a large-scale computable general equilibrium model we show that intensity standards may rather increase than decrease counterproductive carbon leakage....

The efficiency cost of protective measures in climate policy

Böhringer, Christoph; Garcia-Muros, Xaquin; Cazcarro, … - 2016

Despite recent achievements towards a global climate agreement, climate action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions remains quite heterogeneous across countries. Energy-intensive and trade-exposed (EITE) industries in industrialized countries are particularly concerned on stringent domestic...

Vertical fiscal externalities and the environment

Böhringer, Christoph; Rivers, Nicholas; Yonezawa, Hidemichi - 2014

We show that imposition of a state-level environmental tax in a federation crowds out preexisting federal taxes. We explain how this vertical fiscal externality can lead unilateral state-level environmental policy to generate a welfare gain in the implementing state, at the expense of other...

Decomposing integrated assessment climate change

Böhringer, Christoph (contributor); … - 2005

We present a decomposition approach for integrated assessment modeling of climate policy based on a linear approximation of the climate system. Our objective is to demonstrate the usefulness of decomposition for integrated assessment models posed in a complementarity format. First, the...

Economic and environmental impacts of raising revenues for climate finance from public sources

Böhringer, Christoph; Schneider, Jan; Springmann, Marco - 2017

In response to anthropogenic climate change, developed countries have committed themselves to raise 100 billion USD a year from 2020 onwards for addressing the needs of developing countries. In this paper, we investigate the economic and CO2 emission impacts of four alternative options for...

Efficieny losses from overlapping economic instruments in European carbon emissions regulation

Böhringer, Christoph (contributor); … - 2006

Energy markets and energy-intensive industries in all EU member states especially in Germany are subject to a diverse … emission taxes and emissions trading in qualitative and quantitative terms within a partial equilibrium framework for the EU …. It turns out that those firms within the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) which at the same time are subject to …

Mitigating carbon leakage : combining output-based rebating with a consumption tax

Böhringer, Christoph; Rosendahl, Knut Einar; … - 2015

Unilateral climate policy induces carbon leakage through the relocation of emission-intensive and trade-exposed industries to regions with no or more lenient emission regulation. Both analytical and numerical studies suggest that emission pricing combined with border carbon adjustments may be a...
