Time-consistent carbon pricing : the role of carbon contracts for differences : [a previous version of this paper was titled: "Time-consistent carbon pricing"]
Chiappinelli, Olga; Neuhoff, Karsten - 2020
Carbon pricing decisions by governments are prone to time-inconsistency, which causes the private sector to underinvest in emission-reducing technologies. We show that incentives for decarbonization can be improved if complementing carbon pricing with carbon contracts for differences, where the...

Chiappinelli, Olga; Neuhoff, Karsten - 2017
In this paper we show that carbon pricing is subject to time-inconsistency and we investigate solutions to improve on the problem and restore the incentive for the private sector to invest in low-carbon innovation. We show that a superior price-investment equilibrium can be sustained in the...

Optimal discounts in Green Public Procurement
Chiappinelli, Olga; Seres, Gyula - 2021
We consider a Green Public Procurement setting where the procurer provides a bid discount to environment-friendly technologies to foster their use. We assume that, before the auction, firms may switch to green technology via a publicly observable costly investment. We show that investment acts...
