Indexed regulation
Newell, Richard G.; Pizer, William A. - 2008
"Seminal work by Weitzman (1974) revealed prices are preferred to quantities when marginal benefits are relatively flat compared to marginal costs. We extend this comparison to indexed policies, where quantities are proportional to an index, such as output. We find that policy preferences hinge...

Green serves the dirtiest : on the interaction between Black and Green Quotas
Böhringer, Christoph; Rosendahl, Knut Einar - 2009
Tradable black (CO2) and green (renewables) quotas gain in popularity and stringency within climate policies of many OECD countries. The overlapping regulation through both instruments, however, may have important adverse economic implications. Based on stylized theoretical analysis and...

An economic assessment of soil carbon sequestration with biochar in Germany
Teichmann, Isabel - 2015
Biochar is a carbon-rich solid obtained from the heating of biomass in the (near) absence of oxygen in a process called pyrolysis. Its soil incorporation is increasingly discussed as a means to sequester carbon in soils and, thus, to help mitigate climate change. When deployed in agricultural...

Designing carbon taxation schemes for automobiles : a simulation exercise for Germany
Adamou, Adamos; Clerides, Sofronis; Zachariadis, Theodoros - 2011
Vehicle taxation based on CO2 emissions is increasingly being adopted worldwide in order to shift consumer purchases to low-carbon cars, yet little is known about the effectiveness and overall economic impact of these schemes. We focus on feebate schemes, which impose a fee on high-carbon...

The impact of low emission zones on particulate matter concentration and public health
Malina, Christiane; Fischer, Frauke - 2014 - This version: May 09, 2014
A common policy for reducing particulate matter concentrations in the European Union is the introduction of Low Emission Zones (LEZs), which may only be entered by vehicles meeting predefined emission standards. This paper examines the effectiveness of LEZs for reducing PM10 levels in urban...
