Driving Factors of Carbon Dioxide Emissions and the Impact from Kyoto Protocol
Grunewald, Nicole; Martínez-Zarzoso, Inmaculada - CESifo - 2009
In the last two decades increasing attention has been paid to the relationship between environmental degradation and economic development. According to the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis this relationship may be described by an inverted-U curve. However, recent evidence rejects the...

Energy Consumption, Economic Growth and CO2 Emissions in Middle East and North African Countries
Arouri, Mohamed El Hedi; Youssef, Adel Ben; M'Henni, Hatem - CESifo - 2012
This article extends the recent findings of Liu (2005), Ang (2007), Apergis et al. (2009) and Payne (2010) by implementing recent bootstrap panel unit root tests and cointegration techniques to investigate the relationship between carbon dioxide emissions, energy consumption, and real GDP for 12...

Learning Abatement Costs: On the Dynamics of Optimal Regulation of Experience Goods
Hintermann, Beat; Lange, Andreas - CESifo - 2012
We study the introduction of new technologies when their costs are subject to idiosyncratic uncertainty and can only be fully learned through individual experience. We set up a dynamic model of clean experience goods that replace old polluting consumption options and show how optimal regulation...

The Effectiveness of Taxation and Feed-in Tariffs
Antoniou, Fabio; Strausz, Roland - CESifo - 2014
We study (energy) markets with dirty incumbents and costly entry by clean producers. For intermediate entry costs, the market outcome exhibits inefficient production and inefficient entry. A policy mix of three popular regulatory instruments—taxation on polluters, feed-in tariffs for clean...
