Effects of carbon pricing and other climate policies on CO2 emissions
Kohlscheen, Emanuel; Moessner, Richhild; Takáts, Előd - 2021
We provide ex-post empirical analysis of the effects of climate policies on carbon dioxide emissions at the aggregate national level. Our results are based on a comprehensive database of 121 countries. As climate policies we examine carbon taxes and emissions trading systems (ETS), as well as...

Wood-based bioenergy
Hoel, Michael; Sletten, Thea Marcelia - 2014
During recent years increased attention has been given to second-generation wood-based bioenergy. The carbon stored in the forest is highest when there is little or no harvest from the forest. Increasing the harvest from a forest, in order to produce more bioenergy, may thus conflict with the...

Where Is the carbon premium? : global performance of green and brown stocks
Bauer, Michael D.; Huber, Daniel; Rudebusch, Glenn D.; … - 2023
The relative equity pricing of more climate-friendly ("green") versus less climate-friendly ("brown") companies is an open question in climate finance. Previous research comes to conflicting conclusions, documenting either a "carbon premium" with brown stocks yielding higher returns, or the...

De-fueling externalities : causal effects of fuel taxation and mediating mechanisms for delivering climate and health benefits
Basaglia, Pier; Behr, Sophie M.; Drupp, Moritz A. - 2023 - This version: July 2023
This paper is the first to investigate the effectiveness of fuel taxation to jointly deliver climate and health benefits … reductions in external damages are health benefits, highlighting the importance of accounting for co-pollution impacts of carbon … pricing. Our fuel and emission specific tax elasticity estimates suggest much stronger demand responses to eco tax increases …

Will skyscrapers save the planet? : building height limits and urban greenhouse gas emissions
Borck, Rainald - 2014
This paper studies the effectiveness of building height limits as a policy to limit greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It shows that building height limits lead to urban sprawl and higher emissions from commuting. On the other hand, aggregate housing consumption may decrease which reduces emissions...

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...

Priority for the worse off and the social cost of carbon
Adler, Matthew D.; Anthoff, David; Bosetti, Valentina; … - 2016
The social cost of carbon (SCC) is a monetary measure of the harms from carbon emission. Specifically, it is the reduction in current consumption that produces a loss in social welfare equivalent to that caused by the emission of a ton of CO2. The standard approach is to calculate the SCC using...

Inequality and the Social Cost of Carbon
Anthoff, David; Emmerling, Johannes - 2016
This paper presents a novel way to disentangle inequality aversion over time from inequality aversion between regions in the computation of the Social Cost of Carbon. Our approach nests a standard efficiency based Social Cost of Carbon estimate and an equity weighted Social Cost of Carbon...

Cooperation on climate-change mitigation : presented at CESifo Area Conference on Energy and Climate Economics, October 2015
Mason, Charles F.; Polasky, Alan Stephen; Tarui, Nori - 2016
We model countries' choice of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as a dynamic game. Emissions generate immediate benefits to the emitting country but also increase atmospheric GHG concentrations that negatively affect present and future welfare of all countries. Because there are no international...
