Optimal Soil Management and Environmental Policy

Lafforgue, Gilles; Oueslati, Walid - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2005

use induces a pollution which is accentuated by the soil fragility. We show, at the steady state, that the environmental … tax induces a more conservative farmer behavior for soil, but in some cases it can exacerbate pollution. These effects can …

The European Emission Trading Scheme and Renewable Energy Policies: Credible Targets for Incredible Results?

Borghesi, Simone - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2010

This paper discusses the merits and limits of the recent European energy policy aimed at reducing carbon emissions, devoting particular attention to the European Trading System of carbon permits and to the measures that the European Union has adopted to promote renewable energy sources. From the...

What Should We Expect from Innovation? A Model-Based Assessment of the Environmental and Mitigation Cost Implications of Climate-Related R&D

Bosetti, Valentina; Carraro, Carlo; Duval, Romain; … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2010

This paper addresses two basic issues related to technological innovation and climate stabilisation objectives: i) Can innovation policies be effective in stabilising greenhouse gas concentrations? ii) To what extent can innovation policies complement carbon pricing (taxes or permit trading) and...

Uncertain R&D, Backstop Technology and GHGs Stabilization

Bosetti, Valentina; Tavoni, Massimo - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2007

This paper analyses optimal investments in innovation when dealing with a stringent climate target and with the uncertain effectiveness of R&D. The innovation needed to achieve the deep cut in emissions is modelled by a backstop carbon-free technology whose cost depends on R&D investments. To...

The Timing of National Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions in the Presence of Other Environmental Policies

Dellink, Rob B.; Hofkes, Marjan W. - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2006

This paper shows in an empirical context that substantial cost reductions can be achieved in the implementation of Dutch national climate policy by (i) targeting the policy at the stock of greenhouse gases, thus allowing polluters flexibility in their timing of emission reductions; and (ii)...

Can Climate Change Mitigation Policy Benefit the Israeli Economy? A Computable General Equilibrium Analysis

Palatnik, Ruslana; Shechter, Mordechai - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2008

The growing attention to global warming due to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the process of fossil fuel--based energy production is expressed in the Kyoto Protocol, which prescribes, on average, a 7 percent reduction in GHG emissions for developed countries. Although Israel was not included...

Energy Efficiency and Industrial Output: The Case of the Iron and Steel Industry

Flues, Florens; Rübbelke, Dirk; Vögele, Stefan - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013

The iron and steel industry is one of the most carbon emitting and energy consuming sectors in Europe. At the same time this sector is of high economic importance for the European Union. Therefore, while public environmental and energy policies target this sector, there is political concern that...

The Environmental Kuznets Curve: a Survey of the Literature

Borghesi, Simone - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 1999

In the last few years, several studies have found an inverted-U relationship between per capita income and environmental degradation. This relationship, known as the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC), suggests that environmental degradation increases in the early stages of growth, but it...
