Liberalizing Russian gas markets : an economic analysis

Aune, Finn Roar; Golombek, Rolf; Hallre, Hilde; Moe, Arild - 2015

subsidies, and how changes in Russian gas consumption may affect its gas export to Europe. 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 …

Climate policies in a fossil fuel producing country : demand versus supply side policies

Fæhn, Taran; Hagem, Cathrine; Lindholt, Lars; Mæland, … - 2014

In absence of joint global climate action, several jurisdictions unilaterally restrict their domestic demand for fossil fuels. Another policy option for fossil fuel producing countries, not much explored, is to reduce own supply of fossil fuels. We explore analytically and numerically how...

Does a renewable fuel standard for biofuels reduce climate costs?

Greaker, Mads; Hoel, Michael; Rosendahl, Knut Einar - 2012

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...

Green serves the dirtiest : on the interaction between Black and Green Quotas

Böhringer, Christoph; Rosendahl, Knut Einar - 2009

Tradable black (CO2) and green (renewables) quotas gain in popularity and stringency within climate policies of many OECD countries. The overlapping regulation through both instruments, however, may have important adverse economic implications. Based on stylized theoretical analysis and...

Strategic technology policy as a supplement to renewable energy standards

Fischer, Carolyn; Greaker, Mads; Rosendahl, Knut Einar - 2016

In many regions, renewable energy targets are a primary decarbonization policy. Most of the same jurisdictions also subsidize the manufacturing and/or deployment of renewable energy technologies, some being sufficiently aggressive as to engender WTO disputes. We consider a downstream...

Mitigating carbon leakage : combining output-based rebating with a consumption tax

Böhringer, Christoph; Rosendahl, Knut Einar; … - 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...

Short run effects of bleaker prospects for oligopolistic producers of a non-renewable resource

Policies for electrification of the car fleet in the short and long run : subsidizing electric vehicles or subsidizing charging stations?

Hagem, Cathrine; Kverndokk, Snorre; Nævdal, Eric; … - 2022

Abatement can be performed by measures that have an impact on present emissions, but no lasting effect, and by long-lived infrastructure investments. We study the optimal combination of short and long-lived options for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, by specifying abatement cost...

Europe beyond coal - an economic and climate impact assessment

Böhringer, Christoph; Rosendahl, Knut Einar - 2020

Several European countries have decided to phase out coal power generation. Emissions from electricity generation are already regulated by the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS), and in some countries like Germany the phaseout of coal will be accompanied with cancellation of emissions allowances....

Endogenous emission caps always induce a green paradox

Gerlagh, Reyer; Heijmans, Roweno; Rosendahl, Knut Einar - 2019

For any emission trading system (ETS) with quantity-based endogenous supply of allowances, there exists a negative demand shock, e.g. induced by abatement policy, that increases aggregate supply and thus cumulative emissions. We prove this green paradox for a general model and then apply it to...
