Redistribution Effects of Energy and Climate Policy: The Electricity Market

Hirth, Lion; Ueckerdt, Falko - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2012

Energy and climate policies are usually seen as measures to internalize externalities. However, as a side effect, these policies redistribute wealth between consumers and producers, and within these groups. While redistribution is seldom the focus of the academic literature in energy economics,...

Price Floors for Emissions Trading

Wood, Peter John; Jotzo, Frank - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2009

Price floors in greenhouse gas emissions trading schemes can have advantages for technological innovation, price volatility, and management of cost uncertainty, but implementation has potential pitfalls. We argue that the best mechanism for implementing a price floor is to have firms pay an...

Taxing Carbon under Market Incompleteness

Bosetti, Valentina; Maffezzoli, Marco - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013

This paper is the first attempt, to the best of our knowledge, to study the impact of a carbon tax by means of a heterogeneous agents model. The objectives of the paper are two: i) To assess how the results of a representative agent model compare to those coming from a model accounting for...

Interactions between State and Federal Climate Change Policies

Goulder, Lawrence H.; Stavins, Robert N. - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2010

Federal action addressing climate change is likely to emerge either through new legislation or via the U.S. EPA’s authority under the Clean Air Act. The prospect of federal action raises important questions regarding the interconnections between federal efforts and state-level climate policy...

Optimal Soil Management and Environmental Policy

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

This paper studies the effects of environmental policy on the farmer’s soil optimal management. We consider a dynamic economic model of soil erosion where the intensity use of inputs allows the farmer to control soil losses. Therefore, inputs use induces a pollution which is accentuated by the...

Are EU Environmental Policies Too Demanding for New Members States?

Pellegrini, Lorenzo; Gerlagh, Reyer - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2005

In 2004, ten new states entered the European Union. Relative to the pre-2004 member states, these accession states have lower environmental standards, and some worry that it will be too demanding for these new EU members to fully comply with European environmental provisions. In this paper, we...

Pollution Abatement in the Netherlands: A Dynamic Applied General Equilibrium Assessment

Dellink, Rob; Ierland, Ekko van - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2004

This paper deals with an assessment of the economic costs of environmental policies in the Netherlands, using a dynamic Applied General Equilibrium model with bottom-up information on abatement techniques. Empirical abatement cost curves are used to determine substitution possibilities between...
