Climate mitigation policy in Denmark : a prototype for other countries
Batini, Nicoletta; Parry, Ian W. H.; Wingender, Philippe - 2021
Denmark has a highly ambitious goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions 70 percent below 1990 levels by 2030. While … there is general agreement that carbon pricing should be the centerpiece of Denmark’s mitigation strategy, pricing needs to … strategy Denmark develops can be a good prototype for others to follow. This paper discusses mechanisms to scale up domestic …

Regime shifts and uncertainty in pollution control
Zeeuw, Aart de; Zemel, Amos - 2012
We develop a simple model of managing a system subject to pollution damage under risk of an abrupt and random jump in the damage coefficient. The model allows the full dynamic characterization of the optimal emission policies under uncertainty. The results, that imply prudent behavior due to...

Green paradox and directed technical change : the effect of subsidies to clean R&D
Daubanes, Julien; Grimaud, André; Rougé, Luc - 2013
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...

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...

Estimating equilibrium effects of job search assistance
Gautier, Pieter; Muller, Paul; Klaauw, Bas van der; … - 2015 - July 16, 2012
Randomized experiments provide policy relevant treatment effects if there are no spillovers between participants and nonparticipants. We show that this assumption is violated for a Danish activation program for unemployed workers. Using a difference-in-difference model we show that the...

The environmental and macroeconomic effects of socially responsible investment
Dam, Lammertjan (contributor); Heijdra, Ben J. (contributor) - 2008
We analyze the effects of socially responsible investment and public abatement on environmental quality and the economy in a continuous-time dynamic growth model featuring optimizing households and firms. Environmental quality is modelled as a renewable resource. Consumers can invest in...

Environmental policy design and the fragmentation of international markets for innovation
Johnstone, Nick; Hascic, Ivan - 2009
It has long been argued that the implementation of market-based environmental policy instruments such as environmentally-related taxes and tradable permits is likely to lead to greater technological innovation than more direct forms of regulation such as technology-based standards. One of the...
