Driving Factors of Carbon Dioxide Emissions and the Impact from Kyoto Protocol

Grunewald, Nicole; Martínez-Zarzoso, Inmaculada - 2021

In the last two decades increasing attention has been paid to the relationship between environmental degradation and economic development. According to the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis this relationship may be described by an inverted-U curve. However, recent evidence rejects the...

Assessing the Effects of Climate Policy on Companies' Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Montoya, Ana Maria - 2017

We study the effect of climate policy on companies' greenhouse gas emissions using emissions data for the headquarters and subsidiaries of the world's biggest manufacturing, energy, and utility companies. Our results suggest that financial incentives and legal requirements to audit energy use...

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 …

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...

Climate Policy and Development

Gersbach, Hans - 2015

We propose a development-compatible refunding system designed to mitigate climate change. Industrial countries pay an initial fee into a global fund. Each country chooses its national carbon tax. Part of the global fund is refunded to developing and industrial countries, in proportion to the...

Delayed Participation of Developing Countries to Climate Agreements : Should Action in the EU and US be Postponed?

Bosetti, Valentina - 2015

This paper analyses the cost implications for climate policy in developed countries if developing countries are unwilling to adopt measures to reduce their own GHG emissions. First, we assume that a 450 CO2 (550 CO2e) ppmv stabilisation target is to be achieved and that Non Annex1 (NA1)...

Public Policies Against Global Warming

Sinn, Hans-Werner - 2013

Judged by the principle of intertemporal Pareto optimality, insecure property rights and the greenhouse effect both imply overly rapid extraction of fossil carbon resources. A gradual expansion of demand-reducing public policies - such as increasing ad-valorem taxes on carbon consumption or...

Climate Policies : A Burden or a Gain?

Bréchet, Thierry; Tulkens, Henry - 2021

That climate policies are costly is evident and therefore often creates major fears. But the alternative (no action) also has a cost. Mitigation costs and damages incurred depend on what the climate policies are; moreover, they are substitutes. This brings climate policies naturally in the realm...

Can a Unilateral Carbon Tax Reduce Emissions Elsewhere?

Elliott, Joshua - 2013

One country that tries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions may fear that other countries get a competitive advantage and increase emissions (“leakage”). Estimates from computable general equilibrium (CGE) models such as Elliott et al (2010a,b) indicate that 15% to 25% of abatement might be...

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...
