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...

Effects of green technology support policies on carbon dioxide emissions

Moessner, Richhild - 2024

This paper provides ex-post empirical evidence on the effects of green technology support policies, in comparison with other climate policies, on carbon dioxide emissions at the aggregate national level. The paper uses cross-country dynamic panel estimation for a sample of 38 countries over the...

Climate policies in a fossil fuel producing country : demand versus supply side policies

Fæhn, Taran; Hagem, Cathrine; Lindholt, Lars; Mæland, … - 2014

In absence of joint global climate action, several jurisdictions unilaterally restrict their domestic demand for fossil fuels. Another policy option for fossil fuel producing countries, not much explored, is to reduce own supply of fossil fuels. We explore analytically and numerically how...

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...

De-fueling externalities : causal effects of fuel taxation and mediating mechanisms for delivering climate and health benefits

Basaglia, Pier; Behr, Sophie M.; Drupp, Moritz A. - 2023 - This version: July 2023

This paper is the ﬁrst to investigate the eﬀectiveness of fuel taxation to jointly deliver climate and health beneﬁts in a quasi-experimental setting. Using the synthetic control method, we compare carbon and air pollutant emissions of the actual and synthetic German transport sector...

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 …
