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 Gómez, Ana Maria; Zimmer, Markus - 2017 - September 4, 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...

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...

The green paradox in open economies

Cooperation on climate-change mitigation : presented at CESifo Area Conference on Energy and Climate Economics, October 2015
Mason, Charles F.; Polasky, Alan Stephen; Tarui, Nori - 2016
We model countries' choice of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as a dynamic game. Emissions generate immediate benefits to the emitting country but also increase atmospheric GHG concentrations that negatively affect present and future welfare of all countries. Because there are no international...

Climate change mitigation : how effective is green quantitative easing?
Abiry, Raphael; Ferdinandusse, Marien; Ludwig, Alexander; … - 2022
We develop a two sector incomplete markets integrated assessment model to analyse the effectiveness of green quantitative easing (QE) in complementing fiscal policies for climate change mitigation. We model green QE through an outstanding stock of private assets held by a monetary authority and...

Population growth and carbon emissions
Casey, Gregory; Galor, Oded - 2016
We provide evidence that lower fertility can simultaneously increase income per capita and lower carbon emissions, eliminating a trade-off central to most policies aimed at slowing global climate change. We estimate the effect of lower fertility on carbon emissions accounting for the fact that...
