Innovation Complementarity and Environmental Productivity Effects: Reality or Delusion? Evidence from the EU
Gilli, Marianna; Mancinelli, Susanna; Mazzanti, Massimiliano - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013
Innovation is a key element behind the achievement of desired environmental and economic performances. Regarding CO2 … complementarity, namely integration, between the adoption of environmental innovation measures and other technological and … productivity. We merge new EU CIS and WIOD meso level data to assess the innovation effects on sector CO2 performances at a wide EU …

(Self-) Enforcement of Joint Implementation and Clean Development Mechanism Contracts
Janssen, Josef - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 1999
International climate protection investments (Joint Implementation and Clean Development Mechanism projects) are burdened with problems of contract enforcement, which prevent the realisation of efficiency gains associated with these investments. The paper analyses this problem from the...

Addressing Climate Change with a Comprehensive U.S. Cap-and-Trade System
Stavins, Robert N. - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2008
There is growing impetus for a domestic U.S. climate policy that can provide meaningful reductions in emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases. I describe and analyze an up- stream, economy-wide CO2 cap-and-trade system which implements a gradual trajectory of emissions reductions (with...

A Quantitative Assessment of the Implications of Including non-CO2 Emissions in the European ETS
Orecchia, Carlo; Parrado, Ramiro - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013
Although CO2 emissions stand for most of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the contribution of mitigation efforts based on non-CO2 emissions is still a field that needs to be explored more thoroughly. Extending abatement opportunities to non-CO2 could reduce overall mitigation costs but it could...

Linkage of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Systems: Learning from Experience
Ranson, Matthew; Stavins, Robert N. - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2014
The last ten years have seen the growth of linkages between many of the world’s cap-and-trade systems for greenhouse gases (GHGs), both directly between systems, and indirectly via connections to credit systems such as the Clean Development Mechanism. If nations have tried to act in their own...
