Capturing key energy and emission trends in CGE models : assessment of status and remaining challenges
Fæhn, Taran; Bachner, Gabriel; Beach, Robert; Chateau, Jean - 2020
Limiting global warming in line with the goals in the Paris Agreement will require substantial technological and behavioural transformations. This challenge drives many of the current modelling trends. This paper undertakes a review of 17 state-of-the-art recursive-dynamic computable general...

Modeling Russia for Climate Change Issues
Bayar, Ali H.; Dramais, Frédéric; Mohora, Cristina; … - 2010
This paper presents the dynamic multi-sector general equilibrium model for the Russian Federation (RusMod) and carbon emission projections for Russia up to 2020. Projection results emphasise the importance of accomplishing strong energy efficiency gains, and their effect on the economy and on...

Emission targets and coalition options for a small, ambitious country : an analysis of welfare costs and distributional impacts for Norway
Fæhn, Taran; Yonezawa, Hidemichi - 2021
We theoretically and numerically analyse the impacts for a small, open country with carbon abatement ambitions of joining a coalition with allowance trading. Besides welfare impacts for both the coalition and the small, open economy joining the coalition, we scrutinise how the studied policy...

The green paradox : a supply-side view of the climate problem
Sinn, Hans-Werner - 2015
Why have policies aimed at reducing the demand for carbon not succeeded in slowing down global carbon extraction and CO2 emissions, and why have carbon prices failed to increase over the last three decades? This comment argues that this is because of the Green Paradox, i.e. - (the anticipation...

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...

Relative prices and climate policy : how the scarcity of non-market goods drives policy evaluation
Drupp, Moritz A.; Hänsel, Martin C. - 2020
Climate change not only impacts production and market consumption, but also the relative scarcity of non-market goods, such as environmental amenities. We study fundamental drivers of the resulting relative price changes, their potential magnitude, and their implications for climate policy in...

Climate policy curves : linking policy choices to climate outcomes
Hänsel, Martin C.; Bauer, Michael D.; Drupp, Moritz A.; … - 2022
The extent of future climate change is a policy choice. Using an integrated climate-economy assessment model, we estimate climate policy curves (CPCs) that link the price of carbon dioxide (CO2) to subsequent global temperatures. The resulting downward sloping CPCs quantify the inverse...

The macroeconomics of clean energy subsidies
Casey, Gregory; Jeon, Woongchan; Traeger, Christian - 2023
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...
