Mitigating Carbon Leakage : Combining Output-Based Rebating with a Consumption Tax

Boehringer, Christoph - 2015

Unilateral climate policy induces carbon leakage through the relocation of emission-intensive and trade-exposed industries to regions with no or more lenient emission regulation. Both analytical and numerical studies suggest that emission pricing combined with border carbon adjustments may be a...

What Should We Expect from Innovation? A Model-Based Assessment of the Environmental and Mitigation Cost Implications of Climate-Related R&D

Bosetti, Valentina - 2013

This paper addresses two basic issues related to technological innovation and climate stabilisation objectives: i) Can innovation policies be effective in stabilising greenhouse gas concentrations? ii) To what extent can innovation policies complement carbon pricing (taxes or permit trading) and...

Coordinating Climate and Trade Policies : Pareto Efficiency and the Role of Border Tax Adjustments

Keen, Michael - 2011

This paper explores the role of trade instruments in globally efficient climate policies, focusing on the central issue of whether border tax adjustment (BTA) is warranted when carbon prices differ internationally. It shows that tariff policy has a role in easing cross-country distributional...

Taxes Versus Cap-and-Trade in Climate Policy When Only Some Fuel Importers Abate

Strand, Jon - 2010

I study climate policy choices for a “policy bloc” of fuel-importers, when a “fringe” of other fuel importers have no climate policy, fuel exporters consume no fossil fuels, and importers produce no such fuels. The policy bloc and exporter blocs act strategically in fossil fuel markets....

Supply Side Climate Policy and the Green Paradox

Hoel, Michael - 2013

supply-side policies, i.e. policies that per-manently remove some of the carbon resources. The conclusion is that there will … no green paradox if supply-side climate policies are aimed at high-cost carbon reserves. If instead low-cost reserves are … removed, the possibility that both early and total emissions increase cannot be ruled out. Hence, "wrong" supply-side climate …

Climate Effects of Carbon Taxes, Taking into Account Possible Other Future Climate Measures

Habermacher, Florian - 2013

The increase of fuel extraction costs as well as of temperature will make it likely that in the medium-term future technological or political measures against global warming may be implemented. In assessments of a current climate policy the possibility of medium-term future developments like...

The Green Paradox in Open Economies

Van Long, Ngo - 2014

This paper explains how, in the context of incomplete coordination among all countries, unilateral policies that might at first sight seem pro-green could actually turn out to harm the global environment. The free-riding motives and the difficulty of reaching an effective international...

Non-Cooperative and Cooperative Climate Policies with Anticipated Breakthrough Technology

Jaakkola, Niko - 2018

Global warming can be curbed by pricing carbon emissions and thus substituting fossil fuel with renewable energy consumption. Breakthrough technologies (e.g., fusion energy) can reduce the cost of such policies. However, the chance of such a technology coming to market depends on investment. We...

Optimal Carbon Tax with a Dirty Backstop - Oil, Coal, or Renewables?

van der Ploeg, Rick; Withagen, Cees - 2021

Optimal climate policy is studied. Coal, the abundant resource, contributes more CO2 per unit of energy than the exhaustible resource, oil. We characterize the optimal sequencing oil and coal and departures from the Herfindahl rule. “Preference reversal” can take place. If coal is very dirty...

Can Degrowth Overcome the Leakage Problem of Unilateral Climate Policy

Larch, Mario - 2017

Unilateral climate policy suffers from carbon leakage, i.e. the (partial) offset of the initial emission reduction by increases in other countries. Different than most typically discussed climate policies, degrowth not only aims at reducing the fossil fuel use in an economy, but rather at a...
