When the policy bloc sets a carbon tax, the fuel import price set by the … fringe also gains from reduced fuel import prices, and gains more when the policy bloc is larger. When the policy bloc sets … an emissions cap, fuel demand becomes less price elastic. In response, a monopolistic exporter sets the fuel export price …

We also examine the importance of … Russian pipeline capacity to Europe, as well as impacts of hypothetical changes in Russian gas export behavior. For this … purpose, we use a detailed numerical model for the energy markets in Europe and Russia – LIBEMOD. Our results suggest that …
