EU biofuel policies in practise : a carbon map for the Llanos orientales in Colombia
Söder, Mareike; Suarez, César Freddy - 2013
requirements for biofuel production adopted by the European Commission (EU-RED) for the Llanos Orientales in Colombia. Based on the … biofuel options. We evaluate these maps according to the criterion contained in the EU-RED of 35% minimum emission savings for …

I evaluate these maps according to the criterion contained in the EU-RED of 35% minimum emission savings for each … biofuel option compared to its fossil alternative. In addition, to avoid indirect LUC effects of the EU-RED that might offset …

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...

Reaching a climate agreement : do we have to compensate for energy market effects of climate policy?
Peterson, Sonja; Weitzel, Matthias - 2014
Because of large economic and environmental asymmetries among world regions and the incentive to free ride, an international climate Regime with broad participation is hard to reach. Most of the so far proposed Regimes base on an allocation of emission rights that is to be perceived as fair....

Carbon Prices for the Next Hundred Years
Gerlagh, Reyer - 2014
World income grows fast without verifiable climate-change impacts on the economy. The growth spell can end if climate impacts turn real but this can take decades to learn. We develop a tractable stochastic climate-economy model with a hidden-state impact process to evaluate the contributions of...

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...

Reflections on the International Coordination of Carbon Pricing
Parry, Ian - 2021
The efficiency effects of carbon pricing depend on how it impacts distortions in fossil fuel markets, most notably from local air pollution externalities. By offsetting these distortions, carbon pricing may generate significant net economic benefits, so it is in countries own interests to...

Addressing the Climate Problem : Choice between Allowances, Feed-In Tariffs and Taxes
Amundsen, Eirik S. - 2018
Instruments chosen to pursue climate related targets are not always efficient. In this paper we consider an economy with three climate related targets for its electricity generation: a given share of “green” electricity, a given expansion of “green” electricity, and a given reduction of...

The carbon footprint of global trade imbalances
Mahlkow, Hendrik; Wanner, Joschka - 2023
International trade is highly imbalanced both in terms of values and in terms of embodied carbon emissions. We show that the persistent current value trade imbalance patterns contribute to a higher level of global emissions compared to a world of balanced international trade. Specifically, we...

Climate Policy Without Commitment
Golombek, Rolf - 2013
Climate mitigation policy should be imposed over a long period, and spur development of new technologies in order to make stabilization of green house gas concentrations economically feasible. The government may announce current and future policy packages that stimulate current R&D in...
