Closing wells : fossil exploration and abandonment in the energy transition
Van den Bijgaart, I. M.; Rodríguez Acosta, Mauricio Andrés - 2020
Despite ambitious climate goals and already substantial stocks of developed fossil energy reserves, development of new fossil energy reserves continues to be high. This raises concerns, as it reinforces the fossil industry’s opportunities and incentives to continue extraction, and may...

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...

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 …

The risk of policy tipping and stranded carbon assets
Ploeg, Frederick van der; Rezai, Armon - 2019 - Revised July 2019
If global warming is to stay below 2°C, there are four risks of assets stranding. First, substantial fossil fuel reserves will be stranded at the end of the fossil era. Second, this will be true for exploration capital too. Third, unanticipated changes in present or expected future climate...

Internationally coordinated emission permit policies : an option for withdrawers from the Kyoto protocol?
Bednar-Friedl, Birgit; Farmer, Karl - 2009
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...
