Optimally differentiated carbon prices for unilateral climate policy
Boeters, Stefan - 2013
Economic thought on climate policy as an instance of environmental regulation is strongly influenced by the principle of a uniform carbon price. Economists acknowledge that this principle breaks down in a second-best world with other distortions, such as taxes and market power in domestic and...

Some Inconvenient Truths About Climate Change Policy : The Distributional Impacts of Transportation Policies
Holland, Stephen P. - 2011
Instead of efficiently pricing greenhouse gases, policy makers have favored measures that implicitly or explicitly subsidize low carbon fuels. We simulate a transportation-sector cap & trade program (CAT) and three policies currently in use: ethanol subsidies, a renewable fuel standard (RFS),...

The 'Doomsday' Effect in Climate Policies : Why is the Present Decade so Crucial to Tackling the Climate Challenge?
Perrissin Fabert, Baptiste - 2012
Despite growing scientific evidence that passing a 2°C temperature increase may trigger tipping points in climate dynamics, most Integrated Assessment Models (IAM) based on Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) with smooth quadratic damage functions are unable to account for the possibility of strong...

Climate Policies : A Burden or a Gain?
Bréchet, Thierry - 2013
That climate policies are costly is evident and therefore often creates major fears. But the alternative (no action) also has a cost. Mitigation costs and damages incurred depend on what the climate policies are; moreover, they are substitutes. This brings climate policies naturally in the realm...
