Carbon Policy and the Emissions Implications of Electric Vehicles

Gillingham, Kenneth; Ovaere, Marten; Weber, Stephanie - 2021

Will a carbon tax improve the welfare consequences of policies to promote electric vehicles? This paper examines when a complementarity could exist between carbon pricing and high electric vehicle adoption. We analyze electricity generation in recent years to show that in several regions, carbon...

Will the Centralisation of Carbon Pricing Revenue in the EU Lead to Laxer Climate Policy?

Fuest, Clemens; Meier, Volker - 2021

We analyse the economic impact of using carbon pricing revenue to fund the EU budget. Such a reform would redistribute … implemented, the low carbon countries will prefer a lower carbon price, i.e. laxer climate policy at the EU level, than before the … reform. For high carbon countries the opposite is true. As a result, EU climate policy becomes less ambitious and less …

Unilateral Co2 Reduction Policy with More than One Carbon Energy Source

Daubanes, Julien; Schubert, Katheline; Henriet, Fanny - 2021

We examine an open economy’s strategy to reduce its carbon emissions by replacing its consumption of coal—very carbon intensive—with gas—less so. Unlike the standard theoretical approach to carbon leakage, we show that unilateral CO2 reduction policies generate a higher leakage rate in...

Effects of Carbon Pricing and Other Climate Policies on CO 2 Emissions

Kohlscheen, Emanuel; Moessner, Richhild; Takats, Elod - 2021

We provide ex-post empirical analysis of the effects of climate policies on carbon dioxide emissions at the aggregate national level. Our results are based on a comprehensive database of 121 countries. As climate policies we examine carbon taxes and emissions trading systems (ETS), as well as...

Monitoring and Enforcement of Climate Policy

Sigman, Hilary - 2010

This chapter applies recent research on environmental enforcement to a potential U.S. program to control greenhouse gases, especially through emission trading. Climate policies present the novel problem of integrating emissions reductions that are relatively easy to monitor (such as carbon...

Carbon Motivated Regional Trade Arrangements : Analytics and Simulations

Dong, Yan - 2009

This paper presents both analytics and numerical simulation results relevant to proposals for carbon motivated regional trade agreements summarized in Dong & Whalley(2008). Unlike traditional regional trade agreements, by lowing tariffs on participant's low carbon emission goods and setting...

City Size, Pollution and Emission Policies

Pflüger, Michael - 2020

This paper develops a model with an endogenous number of cities to explore whether local governments establish the optimal city size when key activities in the city are associated with emissions that harm consumers. In contrast to extant research, our model is fully micro-founded with respect to...

Headwinds and Tailwinds : Implications of Inefficient Retail Energy Pricing for Energy Substitution

Borenstein, Severin; Bushnell, James B. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2021

Electrification of transportation and buildings to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions requires massive switching from natural gas and refined petroleum products. All three end-use energy sources are mispriced due in part to the unpriced pollution they emit. Natural gas and electricity...

Local Carbon Policy

Cruz, José-Luis; Rossi-Hansberg, Esteban - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022

We study local carbon policy to address the consequences of climate change. Standard analysis suggests that the social cost of carbon determines optimal carbon policy. We start by using the spatial integrated assessment model in Cruz and Rossi-Hansberg (2021) to measure the local social monetary...
