Brechet, Thierry; Peralta, Susana - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2007

International markets for tradable emission permits (TEP) co-exist with national energy taxation. A firm trading emission permits in the international market also pays energy taxes in its host country, thus creating an interaction between the international TEP-market and national energy taxes....

Super-Additionality: A Neglected Force in Markets for Carbon Offsets

Bento, Antonio; Kanbur, Ravi; Leard, Benjamin - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2012

Climate change mitigation programs classify two types of carbon offsets: Additional and non-additional. Additional offsets are offsets that correspond to actual reductions in emissions. In contrast, non-additional offsets are offsets that do not correspond to emissions reductions. These offsets...

Designing Carbon Taxation Schemes for Automobiles: A Simulation Exercise for Germany

Adamou, Adamos; Clerides, Sofronis; Zachariadis, Theodoros - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2012

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...

Energy Demand and Trade in General Equilibrium: An Eaton-Kortum-type Structural Model and Counterfactual Analysis

Egger, Peter; Nigai, Sergey - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2011

This paper sheds light on the role of the impact of taxes on energy production versus tariffs on imported goods for trade, energy demand, and welfare. For this, we develop a structural Eaton-Kortum type general equilibrium model of international trade which includes an energy sector. We estimate...

Should a Carbon Tax be Differentiated Across Sectors?

Hoel, Michael - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1994

If some, but not all, countries are cooperating to reduce CO2 emissions, it can be argued that: A high carbon tax on carbon-intensive tradable sectors in the cooperating countries will reduce the production of goods from these sectors, and therefore CO2 emissions, in those countries. This will...

The Political Economy of Coal Subsidies in Europe

Anderson, Kym - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1995

Both the mining and the burning of coal is pollutive, so one might expect to observe taxes on coal production and … consumption. Yet several countries in Western Europe subsidize coal production, and most East European countries subsidize coal … have been at work in Western Europe in recent years though, causing some countries to dismantle their coal producer …

The Optimal Energy Mix in Power Generation and the Contribution from Natural Gas in Reducing Carbon Emissions to 2030 and Beyond

Carraro, Carlo; Longden, Thomas; Marangoni, Giacomo; … - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2013

This paper analyses a set of new scenarios for energy markets in Europe to evaluate the consistency of economic incentives and climate objectives. It focuses in particular on the role of natural gas across a range of climate policy scenarios (including the Copenhagen Pledges and the EU Roadmap)...

Environmental Feedbacks and Optimal Taxation in Oligopoly

Carraro, Carlo; Soubeyran, Antoine - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1995

The paper analyses the problem of optimal taxation in oligopoly when environmental degradation induced by the industry production process feeds back into market demand. The main assumption is that economic agents and the policy-maker care about the environment only because its degradation...

Asymmetric Information and Imperfect Competition in Lending Markets

Crawford, Gregory S; Pavanini, Nicola; Schivardi, Fabiano - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2015

We measure the consequences of asymmetric information and imperfect competition in the Italian lending market. We show that banks’ optimal price response to an increase in adverse selection varies with competition. Exploiting matched data on loans and defaults, we estimate models of demand for...

Finite State Dynamic Games with Asymmetric Information: A Framework for Applied Work

Fershtman, Chaim; Pakes, Ariel - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2009

With applied work in mind, we define an equilibrium notion for dynamic games with asymmetric information which does not require a specification for players' beliefs about their opponent types. This enables us to define equilibrium conditions which, at least in principal, are testable and can be...
