The impact of carbon disclosure mandates on emissions and financial operating performance
Downar, Benedikt; Ernstberger, Jürgen; Reichelstein, Stefan - 2020
We examine whether a disclosure mandate for greenhouse gas emissions creates stakeholder pressure for firms to subsequently reduce their emissions. For UK-incorporated listed firms such a mandate was adopted in 2013. Using a difference-in-differences design, we find that firms affected by the...

Uncertainty about carbon impact and the willingness to avoid CO2 emissions
Pace, Davide Domenico; Imai, Taisuke; Schwardmann, Peter; … - 2023
With a large representative survey (N=1,128), we document that consumers are very uncertain about the emissions associated with various actions, which may affect their willingness to reduce their carbon footprint. We experimentally test two channels for the behavioural impact of such...

Corporate carbon reduction pledges : an effective tool to mitigate climate change?
Comello, Stephen; Reichelstein, Julia; Reichelstein, Stefan - 2021
In the intensifying public debate about limiting the harmful effects of climate change, many global corporations have recently articulated so-called “net-zero” goals for reducing and ultimately eliminating their own greenhouse gas emissions. We first examine the details ofthe carbon...

based on a weighted average of expected utility (EU) and the MaxiMin criterion. I first show that more weight on the worst … case (less weight on EU) may lead to increased first period emissions. The effect of learning possibilities on emissions is …, considering prospective learning increases today s abatement effort, i.e. the irreversibility effect holds, if the weight on EU is …

The green Paradox and Learning-by-Doing in the renewable energy sector
Nachtigall, Daniel; Rübbelke, Dirk T. G. - 2014
The green paradox conveys the idea that climate policies may have unintended side effects when taking into account the reaction of fossil fuel suppliers. In particular, carbon taxes that will be implemented in the future induce resource owners to extract more rapidly which increases present...

Prices versus quantities with morally concerned consumers
Schmidt, Klaus M.; Herweg, Fabian - 2021
It is widely believed that an environmental tax (price regulation) and cap-and-trade (quantity regulation) are equally efficient in controlling pollution when there is no uncertainty. We show that this is not the case if some consumers (firms, local governments) are morally concerned about...
