Pass-through of CO2 emission costs to hourly electricity prices in Germany

Hintermann, Beat - 2014

I estimate the level of emissions cost pass-through to hourly wholesale electricity prices in Germany, based on spot market data. I control for contemporaneous shocks to demand and supply by constructing a detailed supply curve for fossil generation, and intersecting it with residual demand for...

Effects of carbon pricing and other climate policies on CO2 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...

Population Under a Cap on Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Bohn, Henning - 2013

A cap on greenhouse gas emissions makes total emissions a fixed common-property resource. Population increases under a cap are therefore self-limiting: a population increase raises labor and reduces emissions per unit of labor, which lowers incomes and fertility. Because a marginal birth under a...

Fiscal and regulatory instruments for clean technology development in the European Union

Dechezleprêtre, Antoine; Popp, David - 2015

This policy note investigates whether the current level of public support to environment-friendly technologies is sufficient to allow European countries to respond to the multiple challenges posed by climate change and other environmental concerns. We first lay out the justifications for...

Reconsidering climate mitigation policy in the UK

Arregui, Nicolas; Parry, Ian W. H. - 2021

The UK has pledged to cut greenhouse gases 68 percent below 1990 levels by 2030, to be emissions neutral by 2050, and to phase out internal combustion engine vehicles by 2030. Much progress has been made, but fully achieving these ambitious objectives with the current policy framework will be...

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 …

Oil trade and climate policy : presented at CESifo Area Conference on Energy and Climate Economics, October 2014

Curuk, Malik; Sen, Suphi - 2015

It has been argued that a depletable resource owner might optimally increase near-term supply in response to environmental policies promoting the development of alternative resources, which might render climate policy ineffective or even counterproductive. This paper empirically confirms this...

On current and future carbon prices in a risky world

Olijslagers, Stan; Ploeg, Frederick van der; … - 2021

We analyse optimal abatement and carbon pricing strategies under a variety of economic, temperature and damage risks. Economic growth, convex damages and temperature-dependent risks of climatic tipping points lead to higher growth rates of carbon prices, but gradual resolution of uncertainty...

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...
