CO2 embedded in trade : trends and fossil fuel drivers

Weber, Sylvain; Gerlagh, Reyer; Mathys, Nicole A.; … - 2019

The amount of CO2 embedded in trade has substantially increased over the last decades. We study the trends and some drivers of the carbon content of trade over the period 1995-2009. Our main findings are the following. First, the mix of traded goods tends to have higher emission intensity than...

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

reductions in external damages are health beneﬁts, highlighting the importance of accounting for co-pollution impacts of carbon …

Multiple pollutants, uncovered sectors, and suboptimal environmental policies

Fullerton, Don; Karney, Dan - 2014

In our analytical general equilibrium model where two polluting inputs can be substitutes or complements in production, we study the effects of a tax on one pollutant in two cases: one where both pollutants face taxes and the second where the other pollutant is subject to a permit policy. In...

Airline fuel usage and carbon emissions : determining factors

Brueckner, Jan K.; Abreu, Chrystyane - 2016

Using annual data on individual US airlines over the 1995-2015 period, this paper presents regression results relating an airline's total fuel usage to seven variables: the available ton miles of capacity (passengers plus freight and mail) provided by the airline; the average seat capacity of its...

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...

Does telecommuting reduce commuting emissions?

Marz, Waldemar; Sen, Suphi - 2021

The long-term trend toward more work from home due to digitization has found a strong new driver, the Covid-19 pandemic. The profound change in urban mobility patterns supports the often-held view that reducing the number of commuting trips can lower carbon emissions to a certain degree. We...

Unilateral CO2 reduction policy with more than one carbon energy source

Daubanes, Julien Xavier; Henriet, Fanny; Schubert, Katheline - 2020

We examine an open economy's strategy to reduce its carbon emissions by replacing its consumption of coal - very carbon intensive - with gas - less so. Unlike the standard theoretical approach to carbon leakage, we show that unilateral CO2 reduction policies generate a higher leakage rate in the...

City size, pollution and emission policies

Pflüger, Michael - 2020

modelling of pollution and pollution abatement. We derive two key insights. First, if the national government implements a … permit system (equivalently, pollution taxes) that allow for emissions as in the first-best, cities chosen by local …-best emission policy and extensions to city asymmetries, a fiscal externality, local pollution, generalized commuting costs and …

Using output-based allocations to manage volatility and leakage in pollution markets

Meunier, Guy; Montero, Juan-Pablo; Ponssard, Jean-Pierre - 2017

Output-based allocations (OBAs) are typically used in emission trading schemes to mitigate leakage in sectors at risk. Recent work has shown they may also help to stabilize prices in markets subject to supply and demand shocks. We extend previous work to simultaneously include both leakage and...

More gas, less coal, and less CO2? : unilateral CO2 reduction policy with more than one carbon energy source

Daubanes, Julien X.; Henriet, Fanny; Schubert, Katheline - 2017

We examine an open economy's strategy to reduce its carbon emissions by replacing its consumption of coal - very carbon intensive - with gas - less so. Unlike the standard analysis of carbon leakage, unilateral carbon-reduction policies with more than one carbon energy source may turn...
