Advancing Global Carbon Abatement with a Two-Tier Climate Club

Iverson, Terrence - 2022

A two-tier climate club exploits the comparative advantage of large countries to mete out punishments through trade, while taking their capacity to resist punishment as a constraint. Countries outside the coalition price carbon at a fixed fraction of the average carbon price adopted within the...

Prices vs. Percentages : Use of Tradable Green Certificates as an Instrument of Greenhouse Gas Mitigation

Heimvik, Arild - 2019

The paper analyzes the problem of achieving a target path of emission reductions in the electricity sector, using a scheme of tradable green certificates (TGC). There are two types of generation, renewable and fossil. The latter causes the emissions. The paper also examines effects from emission...

Carbon Prices are Redundant in the 2030 EU Climate and Energy Policy Package

Aune, Finn Roar - 2019

In June 2018, an agreement between key EU institutions – the Commission, the European Parliament, and the European Council – was reached after a long-lasting discourse over the 2030 EU climate and energy policy package. This paper offers a comprehensive assessment of the EU package, with its...

Overlapping Climate Clubs Under Transaction Costs

Delfino Silva, Emilson - 2019

We examine the formation of multilateral, hub-and-spoke and bilateral international R&D strategic alliances (overlapping climate clubs) to reduce CO2 emissions. R&D provision in clubs produces two types of positive externalities: a global public good (i.e., reduction of CO2 emissions) and...

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 from countries with above average carbon intensive production to less carbon intensive countries. Once the reform is implemented, the low carbon countries will prefer a lower...

On Differentiated Carbon Prices and Discount Rates

Anthoff, David; Dennig, Francis; Emmerling, Johannes - 2021

The consensus view amongst economists is that carbon prices, in order to be effcient, must be the same across the globe. But when there are inefficiencies in the allocation of capital so that consumers in different countries face different discount rates, we show that efficient carbon prices...

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

Kohlscheen, Emanuel; Moessner, Richhild; Takáts, Előd - 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...

Asset Pricing and the Carbon Beta of Externalities

Edenhofer, Ottmar; Lessmann, Kai; Tahri, Ibrahim - 2021

Climate policy needs to set incentives for actors who face imperfect, distorted markets and large uncertainties about the costs and benefits of abatement. Investors price uncertain assets according to their expected return and risk (carbon beta). We study carbon pricing and financial incentives...

What Can We Learn from EU ETS?

Vollebergh, Herman R. J. - 2020

This paper discusses lessons that other regions could learn from European Union's effort to implement carbon pricing through EU Emission Trading System (EU ETS). Our lessons are, first of all, that a cap-and-trade system like EU ETS is very helpful in guaranteeing a credible and binding...
