Environmental, redistributive and revenue effects of policies promoting fuel efficient and electric vehicles

Bigler, Patrick; Radulescu, Doina - 2022

instruments have redistributive implications. We compute optimal subsidy - fuel tax combinations subject to a pre-specified EV …

Optimal carbon taxation and horizontal equity : a welfare theoretic approach with application to German household data

Hänsel, Martin C.; Franks, Max; Kalkuhl, Matthias; … - 2021

We develop a model of optimal carbon taxation and redistribution taking into account horizontal equity concerns by considering heterogeneous energy efficiencies. By deriving first- and second-best rules for policy instruments including carbon taxes, transfers and energy subsidies, we then...

The rise and fall of bioenergy

Hoel, Michael - 2018

If bioenergy has a less negative impact on the climate than fossil energy, it may be optimal to have a significant increase in the use of bioenergy over time. Due to the difference in the way the climate is affected by the two types of energy, the future time path of the use of bioenergy may be...

Optimal pollution control in a mixed oligopoly with research spillovers

Haruna, Shoji; Goel, Rajeev K. - 2018

certain conditions, the optimal pollution tax is positive; otherwise, the tax reverts to a subsidy. Comparing mixed and …

Subsidizing renewable energy under capital mobility

Eichner, Thomas; Runkel, Marco - 2010

outflow to other countries. When the green subsidy is available, countries choose a positive subsidy rate since this reduces … the overall distortion of the tax-subsidy system. In doing so, each country internalizes a larger part of the …. Hence, the subsidy is not only beneficial for the country which imposes it but for all countries. -- renewable energy …

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...

Learning abatement costs : on the dynamics of optimal regulation of experience goods

Hintermann, Beat; Lange, Andreas - 2012

We study the introduction of new technologies when their costs are subject to idiosyncratic uncertainty and can only be fully learned through individual experience. We set up a dynamic model of clean experience goods that replace old polluting consumption options and show how optimal regulation...

Is there a green paradox?

Hoel, Michael - 2010

A sufficiently rapidly rising carbon tax may increase near-term emissions compared with the case of no carbon tax. Even so, such a carbon tax path may reduce total costs related to climate change, since the tax may reduce total carbon extraction. A government cannot commit to a specific carbon...
