Industrial Coal Demand in China: A Provincial Analysis
Manera, Matteo; Cattaneo, Cristina; Scarpa, Elisa - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2008
The general concern on the environmental implications of the rising demand for coal registered in China during the last … few years has induced considerable research effort to produce accurate forecasts of China’s energy requirements …. Nevertheless, no previous study has modelled the coal demand in China at provincial level. The aim of this paper is twofold. First …

Climate Effects of Carbon Taxes, Taking into Account Possible Other Future Climate Measures
Habermacher, Florian; Kirchgässner, Gebhard - CESifo - 2011
The increase of fuel extraction costs as well as of temperature will make it likely that in the medium-term future technological or political measures against global warming may be implemented. In assessments of a current climate policy the possibility of medium-term future developments like...

The Supply Side of CO2 with Country Heterogeneity
Hoel, Michael - CESifo - 2011
Several recent articles have analyzed climate policy giving explicit attention to the non-renewable character of carbon resources. In most of this literature the economy is treated as a single unit, which in the context of climate policy seems reasonable to interpret as the whole world. However,...

Unintended Detrimental Effects of Environmental Policy: The Green Paradox and Beyond
Werf, Edwin van der; Maria, Corrado Di - CESifo - 2011
Well-intended policies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions may have unintended undesirable consequences. Recently, a large literature has emerged showing under what conditions this so-called ‘Green Paradox’ may occur. We review this literature and identify the key mechanisms behind...

Is there a Green Paradox?
Hoel, Michael - CESifo - 2010
A sufficiently rapidly rising carbon tax may increase near-term emissions compared with the case of no carbon tax. Even so, such a carbon tax path may reduce total costs related to climate change, since the tax may reduce total carbon extraction. A government cannot commit to a specific carbon...

UK Natural Gas: Gas-Specific or Oil Driven Pricing?
Asche, Frank; Oglend, Atle; Osmundsen, Petter - CESifo - 2013
In this paper we investigate the time-varying relationship between oil and natural gas in the UK. We develop a model where relative prices can move between pricing-regimes; markets switch between being decoupled and integrated. Our model endogenously accounts for periods where oil and natural...

Unconventional Gas and the European Union: Prospects and Challenges for Competitiveness
Vollebergh, Herman R. J.; Drissen, Eric - CESifo - 2014
This article studies the likely impact of unconventional gas developments in the U.S. on EU competitiveness. We find, first of all, little evidence for a prosperous unconventional gas development in Europe. Second, the U.S. boom has already a strong impact on both world and European energy...

Absolute Abundance and Relative Scarcity: Announced Policy, Resource Extraction, and Carbon Emissions
Maria, Corrado Di; Smulders, Sjak; Werf, Edwin van der - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2008
We study the effectiveness of climate change policy in a model with multiple non-renewable resources that differ in their carbon content. We find that, when allowing some time between announcement and implementation of a cap on carbon dioxide emissions, emissions from non-renewable energy...

The Impact of Temperature Change on Energy Demand: A Dynamic Panel Analysis
Cian, Enrica De; Lanzi, Elisa; Roson, Roberto - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2007
This paper presents an empirical study of energy demand, in which demand for a series of energy goods (Gas, Oil Products, Coal, Electricity) is expressed as a function of various factors, including temperature. Parameter values are estimated econometrically, using a dynamic panel data approach....

Energy Demand and Temperature: A Dynamic Panel Analysis
Bigano, Andrea; Bosello, Francesco; Marano, Giuseppe - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2006
This paper is a first attempt to investigate the effect of climate on the demand for different energy vectors from different final users. The ultimate motivation for this is to arrive to a consistent evaluation of the impact of climate change on key consumption goods and primary factors such as...
