Reaping the carbon rent: Abatement and overallocation profits in the European cement industry, insights from an LMDI decomposition analysis
Branger, Frédéric; Quirion, Philippe - In: Energy Economics 47 (2015) C, pp. 189-205
We analyse variations of carbon emissions in the European cement industry from 1990 to 2012, at the European level (EU 27), and at the national level for six major producers (Germany, France, Spain, the United Kingdom, Italy and Poland). We apply a Log-Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) method,...

How do fuel taxes impact new car purchases? An evaluation using French consumer-level data
Givord, Pauline; Grislain-Letrémy, Céline; Naegele, Helene - In: Energy Economics 74 (2018), pp. 76-96
This study evaluates the impact of fuel taxes on new car purchases, using exhaustive individual-level data of monthly new car registrations in France. We use information on the car holder to account for heterogeneous preferences across purchasers, and we identify demand parameters through the...

Benefits of low carbon development in a developing country: Case of Nepal
Shrestha, Ram M.; Shakya, Shree Raj - In: Energy Economics 34 (2012) S3, pp. 503-503
This paper analyzes the direct and indirect benefits of reducing CO2 emission during 2005 to 2100 in the case of Nepal, a low income developing country rich in hydropower resource. It discusses the effects on energy supply mix, local pollutant emissions, energy security and energy system costs...

Clean fuel-saving technology adoption in urban Ethiopia
Beyene, Abebe D.; Koch, Steven F. - In: Energy Economics 36 (2013) C, pp. 605-613
The heavy dependence and inefficient utilization of biomass resources have contributed to the depletion of forest resources in Ethiopia, while the use of traditional cooking technology has also been linked to indoor air pollution and poor health. In response, the government and other...

Modeling international trends in energy efficiency
Stern, David I. - In: Energy Economics 34 (2012) 6, pp. 2200-2208
I use a stochastic production frontier to model energy efficiency trends in 85 countries over a 37-year period. Differences in energy efficiency across countries are modeled as a stochastic function of explanatory variables and I estimate the model using the cross-section of time-averaged data,...

Agricultural adaptation to climate change in rich and poor countries: Current modeling practice and potential for empirical contributions
Hertel, Thomas W.; Lobell, David B. - In: Energy Economics 46 (2014) C, pp. 562-575
In this paper we discuss the scope of the adaptation challenge facing world agriculture in the coming decades. Due to rising temperatures throughout the tropics, pressures for adaptation will be greatest in some of the poorest parts of the world where the adaptive capacity is least abundant. We...

Climate–water interactions—Challenges for improved representation in integrated assessment models
Bell, Andrew; Zhu, Tingju; Xie, Hua; Ringler, Claudia - In: Energy Economics 46 (2014) C, pp. 510-521
Water plays a major role in the climate system and in mediating impacts of climate variability and change on all … sectors of the economy. The incorporation of water resources modeling into integrated assessment models (IAMs) to study … climate–hydrology processes, related water impacts and adaptation options is thus an area of interest, yet it poses a number …

A note on environmental policy and innovation when governments cannot commit
Montero, Juan Pablo - In: Energy Economics 33 (2011) S1, pp. 13-13
It is widely accepted that one of the most important characteristics of an effective pollution control policy is to provide firms with credible incentives to make long-run investments in R&D that can drastically reduce pollution. Recognizing that a government may be tempted to revise its policy...

Economic structure and strategies for greenhouse gas mitigation
Minihan, Erin S.; Wu, Ziping - In: Energy Economics 34 (2012) 1, pp. 350-357
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emission mitigation policy impacts the economic system directly in the short-term by altering relative prices and indirectly in the long-term by shifting the structure of the economy. There may also be adjustments to economic structure independent of policy intervention due...

The long-run and causal analysis of energy, growth, openness and financial development on carbon emissions in Turkey
Ozturk, Ilhan; Acaravci, Ali - In: Energy Economics 36 (2013) C, pp. 262-267
The aim of this paper is to examine the causal relationship between financial development, trade, economic growth, energy consumption and carbon emissions in Turkey for the 1960–2007 period. The bounds F‐test for cointegration test yields evidence of a long-run relationship between per...
