The green Paradox and Learning-by-Doing in the renewable energy sector
Nachtigall, Daniel; Rübbelke, Dirk T. G. - 2014
there is a clean energy source that is a perfect substitute and exhibits learning-by-doing (LBD). If the marginal extraction … slightly increase present extraction. Moreover, taxation leads to higher energy prices which induces the renewable energy firms … crowds out energy from the combustion of fossil fuels and may outweigh the initial increase in present extraction, leading to …

Climate change mitigation : how effective is green quantitative easing?
Abiry, Raphael; Ferdinandusse, Marien; Ludwig, Alexander; … - 2022
We develop a two sector incomplete markets integrated assessment model to analyze the effectiveness of green quantitative easing (QE) in complementing fiscal policies for climate change mitigation. We model green QE through an outstanding stock of private assets held by a monetary authority and...

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...

Climate change and individual behavior
Bernard, René; Tzamourani, Panagiota; Weber, Michael - 2022
This paper studies the causal effect of providing information about climate changeon individuals’ willingness to pay to offset carbon emissions in a randomizedcontrol trial. Receiving truthful information about ways to reduce CO2 emis-sions increases individuals’ willingness to pay for CO2...

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...

Carbon pricing, border adjustment and climate clubs : an assessment with EMuSe
Ernst, Anne; Hinterlang, Natascha; Mahle, Alexander; … - 2022
In a dynamic, three-region environmental multi-sector general equilibrium model (called EMuSe), we find that carbon pricing generates a recession initially as production costs rise. Benefits from lower emissions damage materialize only in the medium to long run. A border adjustment mechanism...

The impact of carbon pricing in a multi-region production network model and an application to climate scenarios
Frankovic, Ivan - 2022
This paper builds on existing production network models to study the impact of global and sub-global carbon pricing. It uses the World Input-Output Database (WIOD) to calibrate intersectoral trade between seven regions and 56 economic sectors per region as well as EXIOBASE’s sectoral accounts...
