Faustmann and the Climate
Hoel, Michael; Holtsmark, Bjart; Holtsmark, Katinka - CESifo - 2012
The paper presents an adjusted Faustmann Rule for optimal harvest of a forest when there is a social cost of carbon emissions. The theoretical framework takes account of the dynamics and interactions of forests’ multiple carbon pools and assumes an infinite time horizon. Our paper provides a...

Supply Side Climate Policy and the Green Paradox
Hoel, Michael - CESifo - 2013
The focus of the green paradox literature has been either on demand-side climate policies or on effects of … no green paradox if supply-side climate policies are aimed at high-cost carbon reserves. If instead low-cost reserves are … removed, the possibility that both early and total emissions increase cannot be ruled out. Hence, "wrong" supply-side climate …

Wood-Based Bioenergy
Hoel, Michael; Sletten, Thea Marcelia - CESifo - 2014
During recent years increased attention has been given to second-generation wood-based bioenergy. The carbon stored in the forest is highest when there is little or no harvest from the forest. Increasing the harvest from a forest, in order to produce more bioenergy, may thus conflict with the...

Structural Change, Urban Congestion, and the End of Growth
Grossmann, Volker - CESifo - 2011
This paper develops a two-sector R&D-based growth model with congestion effects from increasing urban population density. We show that endogenous technological progress causes structural change if there are positive productivity spillovers from the modern to the traditional sector and Engel’s...

Energy Use and Economic Growth in Africa: A Panel Granger-Causality Investigation
Arouri, Mohamed El Hedi; Youssef, Adel Ben; M'Henni, Hatem - CESifo - 2014
We make use of a bootstrap panel analysis of causality between energy use and economic growth for a sample of sixteen African countries over the period 1988-2010. Our results show that growth and energy use are strongly linked in Africa. However, African countries are heterogeneous and there is...

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...
