Would you like to supersize your car? : the effect of environmental subsidies on emissions
Tsanko, Ilona - 2023
I study the impact of subsidies for Plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV) on carbon emissions. I show that subsidizing innovations without considering consumer behavior can harm the environment. I provide descriptive evidence on charging instances of PHEV and combine it with a structural model of...

Green technology policies versus carbon pricing : an intergenerational perspective
Rausch, Sebastian; Yonezawa, Hidemichi - 2023
Technology policy is the most widespread form of climate policy and is often preferred over seemingly efficient carbon pricing. We propose a new explanation for this observation: gains that predominantly accrue to households with large capital assets and that influence majority decisions in...

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...

The political economy of negotiating international carbon markets
Arvaniti, Maria; Habla, Wolfgang - 2020 - This version: April 2020
International carbon markets are frequently propagated as an efficient instrument for reducing CO2 emissions. We argue that such markets, despite their desirable efficiency properties, might not be in the best interest of governments who are guided by strategic considerations in negotiations. We...

Local economic impacts of wind power deployment in Denmark
Gavard, Claire; Göbel, Jonas; Schoch, Niklas - 2022 - This version: October 21, 2022
An argument sometimes used to support renewable energy is that it may contribute to job creation. On the other hand, these technologies often face local opposition. On the case of Denmark, the country with the longest experience with wind power, the authors examine whether the installation of...

What drives carbon emissions in German manufacturing : scale, technique or composition?
Rottner, Elisa; Graevenitz, Kathrine von - 2022 - This version: August 26, 2022
Drastic emission reductions are necessary to combat climate change. However, despite several climate policies, carbon emissions from German manufacturing have actually increased between 2005 and 2017. In this paper, we provide evidence of how the policy mix overall has affected the German...

What drives carbon emissions in German manufacturing : scale, technique or composition?
Rottner, Elisa; Graevenitz, Kathrine von - 2021
Carbon emissions from German manufacturing have increased over the past decade, while carbon intensity (emissions per Euro of gross output) has declined only slightly. We decompose changes in emissions between 2005 and 2017 into scale, composition (changes in the mix of goods produced) and...
