Market Power in Emission Permit Markets: Theory and Evidence

Hintermann, Beat - CESifo - 2013

A well-known result about market power in emission permit markets is that efficiency can be achieved by full free allocation to the dominant firm. I show that this result breaks down when taking the interaction between input and output markets into account, even if the firm perceives market...

Pollution, Shadow Economy and Corruption: Theory and Evidence

Biswas, Amit K.; Farzanegan, Mohammad Reza; Thum, Marcel - CESifo - 2011

We study how the shadow economy affects pollution and how this effect depends on corruption levels in public administration. Production in the shadow economy allows firms to avoid environmental regulation policies; a large informal sector may be accompanied by higher pollution levels. Our...

Should we be Worried about the Green Paradox? Announcement Effects of the Acid Rain Program

Maria, Corrado Di; Lange, Ian A.; Werf, Edwin van der - CESifo - 2012

This paper presents the first empirical test of the green paradox hypothesis, according to which well-intended but imperfectly implemented policies may lead to detrimental environmental outcomes due to supply side responses. We use the introduction of the Acid Rain Program in the U.S. as a case...

Gasoline Content Regulation and Compliance among US Refineries

Chakravorty, Ujjayant; Nauges, Céline; Thille, Henry - CESifo - 2012

The US refining industry is a leading producer of sulfur oxide and nitrogen oxide emissions. As a result of the Clean Air Act, it has been subject to a host of environmental regulations that prescribe the production processes firms can employ and limits their emissions based on the permits they...

Strategic Approaches to CO2 Emissions - The Case of the Cement Industry and of the Chemical Industry

Arjaliès, Diane Laure; Goubet, Cécile; Ponssard, … - CESifo - 2014

The ability of companies to turn an environmental constraint into a source of strategic opportunities is a controversial topic in published research. The article, which is based on a comparative study of the CO2 emission reduction strategies implemented by the cement and chemical industries,...

CCS - Failing to Pass Decision Gates

Emhjellen, Magne; Osmundsen, Petter - CESifo - 2013

Socio-economic criteria for climate projects have been used in analysing the value of the climate benefit of a reduction in CO2. These reports are optimistic, yet CCS demonstration plants are not implemented as expected. Little attention has been devoted to profitability assessments based on...

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...

Pass-through of CO2 Emission Costs to Hourly Electricity Prices in Germany

Hintermann, Beat - CESifo - 2014

I estimate the level of emissions cost pass-through to hourly wholesale electricity prices in Germany, based on spot market data. I control for contemporaneous shocks to demand and supply by constructing a detailed supply curve for fossil generation, and intersecting it with residual demand for...
