How to be a good forerunner in carbon neutral trucking
Littlejohn, Christina; Proost, Stef - 2021
EU countries want to decarbonize their road freight transport quickly. Long-haul electric trucks are a promising technology. There are several competing designs but at present the trade-off is between e-trucks with very large batteries and e-trucks with a smaller battery but combined with...

Efficient taxation of fuel and road use
Bjertnæs, Geir H. M. - 2019
This study calculates efficient taxes on gasoline and road use designed to combat driving related externalities when motorists avoid taxes due to an excessive economic driving-style. The efficient tax on gasoline is reduced below the Pigouvian rate due to such avoidance. The current US tax rate...

The tradeoff between indirect network effects and product differentiation in a decarbonized transport market
Andreassen, Gøril L.; Rosendahl, Knut Einar - 2020
What factors determine whether it is optimal with one or more technologies in a decarbonized road transport sector, and what policies should governments choose? We investigate these questions theoretically and numerically through a static, partial equilibrium model for the road transport market....

Evaluating policies to implement the Paris agreement : a toolkit with application to China
Parry, Ian W. H.; Shang, Baoping; Vernon, Nate; … - 2016
This paper describes a model, implemented in an Excel spreadsheet, for evaluating a wide range of fiscal and regulatory instruments policymakers might consider for implementing their Paris mitigation pledges. Policies are evaluated against a range of metrics, including impacts on carbon dioxide...

Reflections on the international coordination of carbon pricing
Parry, Ian W. H. - 2016
The efficiency effects of carbon pricing depend on how it impacts distortions in fossil fuel markets, most notably from local air pollution externalities. By offsetting these distortions, carbon pricing may generate significant net economic benefits, so it is in countries own interests to...

How much carbon pricing is in countries' own interests? : the critical role of co-benefits
Parry, Ian W. H.; Veung, Chandara; Heine, Dirk - 2014
This paper calculates, for the top twenty emitting countries, how much pricing of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is in their own national interests due to domestic co-benefits. On average, nationally efficient prices are substantial, $ 57.5 per ton of CO2 (for year 2010), reflecting primarily...

Pass-through of CO2 emission costs to hourly electricity prices in Germany
Hintermann, Beat - 2014
I estimate the level of emissions cost pass-through to hourly wholesale electricity prices in Germany, based on spot market data. I control for contemporaneous shocks to demand and supply by constructing a detailed supply curve for fossil generation, and intersecting it with residual demand for...
