Unilateral Measures and Emissions Mitigation
Chatterji, Shurojit - 2010
We discuss global climate mitigation that builds on existing unilateral measures to cut emissions. We document and discuss the rationale for such unilateral measures argue that such measures have the potential to generate positive spillover effects both within and across countries. In a simple...

The Social Cost of Carbon Revisited
Pindyck, Robert S. - 2016
An estimate of the social cost of carbon (SCC) is key to climate policy. But how should we estimate the SCC? A common approach is to use an integrated assessment model (IAM) to simulate time paths for the atmospheric CO2 concentration, its impact on global mean temperature, and the resulting...

Will Skycrapers Save the Planet? Building Height Limits and Urban Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Borck, Rainald - 2021
This paper studies the effectiveness of building height limits as a policy to limit greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It shows that building height limits lead to urban sprawl and higher emissions from commuting. On the other hand, aggregate housing consumption may decrease which reduces emissions...

Kyoto and Carbon Leakage : An Empirical Analysis of the Carbon Content of Bilateral Trade
Aichele, Rahel; Felbermayr, Gabriel J. - 2021
Has the Kyoto Protocol induced carbon leakage? We conduct the first empirical ex-post evaluation of the Protocol. We derive a theoretical gravity equation for the CO2 content of trade, which accounts for intermediate inputs, both domestic and imported. The structure of our new panel database of...
