Policies for electrification of the car fleet in the short and long run : subsidizing electric vehicles or subsidizing charging stations?
Hagem, Cathrine; Kverndokk, Snorre; Nævdal, Eric; … - 2022
Abatement can be performed by measures that have an impact on present emissions, but no lasting effect, and by long-lived infrastructure investments. We study the optimal combination of short and long-lived options for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, by specifying abatement cost...

Optimal policy and network effects for the deployment of zero emission vehicles
Meunier, Guy; Ponssard, Jean-Pierre - 2018
We analyze the impact of indirect network effects in the deployment of zero emission vehicles in a static partial equilibrium model. In most theoretical analysis direct and indirect effects are conflated, and relatively few authors have explicitly considered indirect network effects. We also...
