Bréchet, Thierry; Tulkens, Henry - 2021

That climate policies are costly is evident and therefore often creates major fears. But the alternative (no action) also has a cost. Mitigation costs and damages incurred depend on what the climate policies are; moreover, they are substitutes. This brings climate policies naturally in the realm...

Global Warming and Extreme Events : Rethinking the Timing and Intensity of Environmental Policy

Chen, Yu-Fu - 2010

The possibility of low-probability extreme events has reignited the debate over the optimal intensity and timing of climate policy. In this paper we therefore contribute to the literature by assessing the implications of low-probability extreme events on environmental policy in a continuous-time...

Commitment vs. Discretion in Climate and Energy Policy

Habermacher, Florian - 2017

To decarbonize the power sector policy-makers need to commit to long-term credible rules for climate and energy policy. Otherwise, time-inconsistent policy-making will impair investments into low-carbon technologies. However, the future benefits and costs of decarbonization are subject to...

The Demand for Global and Local Environmental Protection - Experimental Evidence from Climate Change Mitigation in Beijing

Löschel, Andreas - 2018

In this study, the real demand for global and local environmental protection in Beijing, China, is elicited and investigated. Participants from Beijing were offered the opportunity to contribute to voluntary climate change mitigation by purchasing permits from two Chinese CO2 emissions trading...

However, this additional cost wanes when developing countries are allowed to trade emission reductions … from their baseline emission paths during the 30-year delay period. Thus, irrespective of whether NA1 countries are …

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...

Climate Change and Psychological Adaptation : A Behavioral Environmental Economics Approach

Aronsson, Thomas; Schöb, Ronnie - 2021

Economic models of climate policy (or policies to combat other environmental problems) typically neglect psychological adaptation to changing life circumstances. People may adapt or become more sensitive, to different degrees, to a deteriorated environment. The present paper addresses these...

Cooperation on Climate-Change Mitigation

Mason, Charles F. - 2016

We model countries' choice of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as a dynamic game. Emissions generate immediate benefits to the emitting country but also increase atmospheric GHG concentrations that negatively affect present and future welfare of all countries. Because there are no international...

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...
