Green Paradox and Directed Technical Change : The Effect of Subsidies to Clean R&D
Daubanes, Julien - 2014
We borrow standard assumptions from the non-renewable-resource-taxation and from the directed-technical-change literatures, to take a full account of the incentives to perform R&D activities in a dirty-resource sector and in a clean-resource-substitute sector. We show that a gradual rise in the...

Does a Renewable Fuel Standard for Biofuels Reduce Climate Costs?
Greaker, Mads; Hoel, Michael; Rosendahl, Knut Einar - 2021
Recent contributions have questioned whether biofuels policies actually lead to emissions reductions, and thus lower climate costs. In this paper we make two contributions to the literature. First, we study the market effects of a renewable fuel standard. Opposed to most previous studies we...

Revisiting the Narrative Approach of Estimating Tax Multipliers
Hebous, Shafik - 2014
A number of recent studies regress a “narratively” identified measure of a macroeconomic shock directly on an outcome variable. In this note, we argue that this approach can be viewed as the reduced-form regression of an instrumental variable approach in which the narrative time series is...

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...
