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 changes in fertility patterns affect carbon emissions through three …

Internationally Coordinated Emission Permit Policies : An Option for Withdrawers from the Kyoto Protocol?

Bednar-Friedl, Birgit - 2014

This paper investigates the welfare costs of unilateral versus internationally coordinated emission permit policies in a two-country overlapping generations model with producer carbon emissions. We show that, for a net foreign debtor country, the domestic welfare costs of a unilateral domestic...

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...

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...

Efficient CO2 Emissions Control with National Emissions Taxes and International Emissions Trading

Eichner, Thomas; Pethig, Rudiger - 2021

In a group of countries like the European Union all countries seek to achieve their national CO2 emissions target by a joint emissions trading scheme covering some part of their economies (trading sector) and by a national emissions tax in the rest of their economies (nontrading sector)....

The Safe Carbon Budget

van der Ploeg, Rick - 2017

Cumulative emissions drive peak global warming and determine the safe carbon budget compatible with staying below 2oC or 1.5oC. The safe carbon budget is lower if uncertainty about the transient climate response is high and risk tolerance low. Together with energy costs this budget determines...

Carbon Tariffs Revisited

Boehringer, Christoph - 2014

Concerns about adverse impacts on domestic energy-intensive and trade-exposed (EITE) industries are at the fore of the political debate about unilateral climate policies. Tariffs on the carbon embodied in imported goods from countries without emission pricing appeal as a measure to reduce carbon...

The Carbon-Budget Approach to Climate Stabilization : Cost-Effective Subglobal Versus Global Action

Eichner, Thomas - 2010

Scientific expertise suggests that mitigating extreme world-wide climate change damages requires avoiding increases in the world mean temperature exceeding 2° Celsius. To achieve the two degree target, the cumulated global emissions must not exceed some limit, the so-called global carbon...

Market Effects of Voluntary Climate Action by Firms : Evidence from the Chicago Climate Exchange

Gans, Will; Hintermann, Beat - 2021

Why do for-profit firms take voluntary steps to improve the environment? Brand appeal to green consumers or investors, the ability to influence or avoid regulation, or the experience gained for future regulation, have all been suggested as possible reasons. The empirical evidence is decidedly...
