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 … paper, we analyze the energy transition, considering fossil exploration and development activities. We provide conditions …

We investigate how irreversibility in "dirty" and "clean" capital stocks affects optimal climate policy, from both theoretical and numerical perspectives. An increasing carbon tax will reduce investments in assets that pollute, and so reduce emissions in the short term: our "irreversibility...

We study clean energy subsidies in a quantitative climate-economy model. Clean en-ergy subsidies decrease carbon … emissions if and only if they lower the marginal product of dirty energy. The constrained-efficient subsidy equals the marginal … external cost of dirty energy multiplied by the marginal impact of clean energy production on dirty energy production. With …

To decarbonize the power sector policy-makers need to commit to long-term credible rules for climate and energy policy … renewable energy sources. Using a dynamic partial equilibrium model of the power sector, we show that commitment to state …

The existing economics literature neglects the important role of capacity in the production of renewable energy. To … fiill this gap, we construct a model in which renewable energy production is tied to renewable energy capacity, which then … allocation of energy, and which therefore comes at the cost of reduced general production. Requiring societal well-being to never …

Instruments chosen to pursue climate related targets are not always efficient. In this paper we consider an economy with three climate related targets for its electricity generation: a given share of "green" electricity, a given expansion of "green" electricity, and a given reduction of "black"...
