Synergy between pollution and carbon emissions control: Comparing China and the United States
Nam, Kyung-Min; Waugh, Caleb J.; Paltsev, Sergey; … - In: Energy Economics 46 (2014) C, pp. 186-201
We estimate the potential synergy between pollution and climate control in the U.S. and China, summarizing the results as emissions cross-elasticities of control. In both countries, ancillary carbon reductions resulting from SO2 and NOx control tend to rise with the increased stringency of...

Are green hopes too rosy? Employment and welfare impacts of renewable energy promotion
Böhringer, Christoph; Keller, Andreas; van der Werf, Edwin - In: Energy Economics 36 (2013) C, pp. 277-285
In view of pressing unemployment problems, policy makers across all parties jump on the prospects of renewable energy promotion as a job creation engine which can boost economic well-being. Our analytical model shows that initial labor market rigidities in theory provide some scope for such a...

Accounting for household heterogeneity in general equilibrium economic growth models
Melnikov, N.B.; O'Neill, B.C.; Dalton, M.G. - In: Energy Economics 34 (2012) 5, pp. 1475-1483
We describe and evaluate a new method of aggregating heterogeneous households that allows for the representation of changing demographic composition in a multi-sector economic growth model. The method is based on a utility and labor supply calibration that takes into account time variations in...

A look inwards: Carbon tariffs versus internal improvements in emissions-trading systems
Springmann, Marco - In: Energy Economics 34 (2012) S2, pp. 228-228
Subglobal climate policies will be the norm for some years to come. However, several options exist for improving the efficiency of domestic emissions regulation. A prominent but contentious policy option for improving the external efficiency is the implementation of carbon tariffs on...

Decomposing the impact of alternative technology sets on future carbon emissions growth
Fisher-Vanden, Karen; Schu, Kathryn; Sue Wing, Ian; … - In: Energy Economics 34 (2012) S3, pp. 359-359
What are the drivers of future global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions growth and how would the availability of key energy supply technologies change their relative importance? In this paper, we apply a novel index number decomposition technique to the results of a multi-region, multi-sector...

Implementing a load duration curve of electricity demand in a general equilibrium model
Wiskich, Anthony - In: Energy Economics 45 (2014) C, pp. 373-380
Top-down computable general equilibrium models of energy–economy interactions have a limited representation of the electricity sector, typically using constant elasticities of substitution between generation types. Detailed bottom-up electricity models generally have embedded load duration...

The implication of the Paris targets for the Middle East through different cooperation options
Khabbazan, Mohammad M.; von Hirschhausen, Christian - In: Energy Economics 104 (2021)
The core of the 36th round of the Energy Modeling Forum project shows that it is more likely that major fossil-fuel exporters, such as the Middle East, are highly affected because of the decrease in fossil-fuel extractions required for the worldwide fulfillment of the Paris agreement. We employ...

Implications of a lowered damage trajectory for mitigation in a continuous-time stochastic model
Strand, Jon - In: Energy Economics 42 (2014) C, pp. 43-49
We provide counterexamples to the idea that mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions, and adaptation to climate change … process with positive drift and mitigation is lumpy. Climate damages can be affected by adaptation in two main ways: 1 … variance of the climate damage are both reduced by adaptation. In case 1, the variance effect (which leads to more rapid …
