Assessing the Effects of Climate Policy on Companies' Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Montoya, Ana Maria - 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...

Population Growth and Carbon Emissions

Casey, Gregory P. - 2017

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...

A Ricardian Analysis of the Impact of Climate Change on European Agriculture

Van Passel, Steven - 2014

This research estimates the impact of climate on European agriculture using a continental scale Ricardian analysis. Climate, soil, geography and regional socio-economic variables are matched with farm level data from 37,612 farms across Western Europe. We demonstrate that a median quantile...

Technological Transfers in Global Climate Policy

Buchholz, Wolfgang - 2015

Theoretical analysis and empirical evidence show that leadership behavior in climate policy through increased abatement efforts or international transfers cannot be expected to be very successful. In this paper we instead show that pioneering activities, which are based on green technological...

The Green Paradox : A Supply-Side View of the Climate Problem

Sinn, Hans-Werner - 2015

Why have policies aimed at reducing the demand for carbon not succeeded in slowing down global carbon extraction and CO2 emissions, and why have carbon prices failed to increase over the last three decades? This comment argues that this is because of the Green Paradox, i.e. – (the anticipation...

Knowing the Damages is Not Enough : The General Equilibrium Impacts of Climate Change

Kalkuhl, Matthias - 2016

We show that economies may exhibit a strong endogenous macroeconomic adaptation response to climate change. If climate change induces a structural change to the more productive sector, economies can benefit from climate change though productivities in both sectors are reduced. If climate change...

Modeling Russia for Climate Change Issues

Bayar, Ali H.; Dramais, Frederic; Mohora, Cristina; … - 2021

This paper presents the dynamic multi-sector general equilibrium model for the Russian Federation (RusMod) and carbon emission projections for Russia up to 2020. Projection results emphasise the importance of accomplishing strong energy efficiency gains, and their effect on the economy and on...

Announcing Climate Policy : Can a Green Paradox Arise Without Scarcity?

Smulders, Sjak - 2013

Unintended consequences of a pre-announced climate policy have been studied in a variety of situations. We show that early announcement of a carbon tax gives rise to a “Green-Paradox,” in that it increases polluting emissions in the interim period (between announcement and actual...

Carbon Pricing in the EU : Evaluation of Different EU ETS Reform Options

Brink, Corjan - 2015

This paper studies various options to support allowance prices in the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS), such as … adjusting the cap, an auction reserve price, and fixed and variable carbon taxes in addition to EU ETS. We use a dynamic … at the EU Member State level. We find that both a variable carbon tax and an auction reserve price support effective …
