Is there really a green paradox?

Ploeg, Frederick van der; Withagen, Cees - 2010

The Green Paradox states that, in the absence of a tax on CO2 emissions, subsidizing a renewable backstop such as solar or wind energy brings forward the date at which fossil fuels become exhausted and consequently global warming is aggravated. We shed light on this issue by solving a model of...

Carbon prices are redundant in the 2030 EU climate and energy policy package

Aune, Finn Roar; Golombek, Rolf - 2018

final energy consumption, and improved energy efficiency. We find that the renewable and energy-efficiency targets have been …

Taxes versus cap-and-trade in climate policy when only some fuel importers abate

Strand, Jon - 2010

blocs act strategically in fossil fuel markets. When the policy bloc sets a carbon tax, the fuel import price set by the … fringe also gains from reduced fuel import prices, and gains more when the policy bloc is larger. When the policy bloc sets … an emissions cap, fuel demand becomes less price elastic. In response, a monopolistic exporter sets the fuel export price …

Energy taxes and natural gas demand in EU-countries

Asche, Frank; Osmundsen, Petter; Tveterås, Ragnar - 2001

Producers or consumers faced with an increase in taxes are usually able to shift parts of it to other levels in the value chain. We examine who is actually bearing the burden of increased energy taxes in the EU-area - consumers or exporters. Traditional tax incidence theory presumes spot...

Climate change and carbon tax expectations

Hoel, Michael - 2010

If investors fear that future carbon taxes will be lower than currently announced by policy makers, long-run investments in greenhouse gas mitigation may be smaller than desirable. On the other hand, owners of a non-renewable carbon resource that underestimate future carbon taxes will postpone...

Depletion and development : natural resource supply with endogenous field opening

Venables, Anthony - 2011

This paper develops a model in which supply of a non-renewable resource can adjust through two margins: the rate of depletion and the rate of field opening. Faster depletion of existing fields means that less of the resource can ultimately be extracted, and optimal depletion of open fields...

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...

Going full circle : demand-side constraints to the green paradox

Di Maria, Corrado; Lange, Ian; Van der Werf, Edwin - 2013

We argue that the literature on the green paradox has largely ignored the demand side of the resource market, and that this side of the market may mitigate the size of an emissions increase in response to imperfect climate policies. These claims are informed by recent empirical findings. Our...

The green paradox in open economies

Long, Ngo Van - 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...
