Comparative statics of a monopolistic firm facing price-cap and command-and-control environmental regulations

Caputo, Michael R. - In: Energy Economics 46 (2014) C, pp. 464-471

An exhaustive comparative statics analysis of a model of a monopolistic firm facing price-cap regulation and a variety of commonly implemented command-and-control environmental regulations is carried out. The comparative statics are intrinsic to each of the models and thus form their basic,...

An ethanol blend wall shift is prone to increase petroleum gasoline demand

Qiu, Cheng; Colson, Gregory; Wetzstein, Michael - In: Energy Economics 44 (2014) C, pp. 160-165

In 2010, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced a waiver allowing an increase in the fuel–ethanol blend limit (the “blend wall”) from 10% (E10) to 15% (E15). Justifications for the waiver are reduced vehicle-fuel prices and less consumption of petroleum gasoline, leading to...

Carbon taxation in Russia: Prospects for a double dividend and improved energy efficiency

Orlov, Anton; Grethe, Harald; McDonald, Scott - In: Energy Economics 37 (2013) C, pp. 128-140

This study analyses the sectoral and macroeconomic impact of carbon taxes on the Russian economy, one of the world's most energy- and carbon-intensive economies, while assessing the hypothesis of a double dividend. Substituting carbon taxes for labour taxes can reduce GHG emissions and enhance...

Modeling and explaining the dynamics of European Union Allowance prices at high-frequency

Conrad, Christian; Rittler, Daniel; Rotfuß, Waldemar - In: Energy Economics 34 (2012) 1, pp. 316-326

In this paper we model the adjustment process of European Union Allowance (EUA) prices to the releases of announcements at high-frequency controlling for intraday periodicity, volatility clustering and volatility persistence. We find that the high-frequency EUA price dynamics are very well...

Nonlinearity in cap-and-trade systems: The EUA price and its fundamentals

Lutz, Benjamin Johannes; Pigorsch, Uta; Rotfuß, Waldemar - In: Energy Economics 40 (2013) C, pp. 222-232

In this paper we examine the nonlinear relation between the EUA price and its fundamentals, such as energy prices, macroeconomic risk factors and weather conditions. By estimating a Markov regime-switching model, we find that the relation between the EUA price and its fundamentals varies over...

“Investments and public finance in a green, low carbon, economy”

Carraro, Carlo; Favero, Alice; Massetti, Emanuele - In: Energy Economics 34 (2012) S1, pp. 15-15

induced by carbon taxation. Four global tax scenarios are examined using the integrated assessment model WITCH. Taxes are … energy-related R&D increase in all tax scenarios, but they are a small fraction of GDP. Investments in oil upstream decline … in all scenarios. As a result, total investments decline with respect to the Reference scenario. Carbon tax revenues are …

Returns to scale and damages to scale under natural and managerial disposability: Strategy, efficiency and competitiveness of petroleum firms

Sueyoshi, Toshiyuki; Goto, Mika - In: Energy Economics 34 (2012) 3, pp. 645-662

Environmental assessment recently becomes a major policy issue all over the world. This study discusses how to use Data Environment Analysis (DEA) for environmental assessment for planning corporate strategy and international competitiveness. An important feature of DEA environmental assessment...

Energy consumption and output: Evidence from a panel of 14 oil-exporting countries

Mohammadi, Hassan; Parvaresh, Shahrokh - In: Energy Economics 41 (2014) C, pp. 41-46

We examine the long-run relation and short-run dynamics between energy consumption and output in a panel of 14 oil-exporting countries over 1980–2007. Panel unit root tests, which account for common cross-sectional factors, fail to reject non-stationarity in both variables. Thus, we explore...

Near-term limits to mitigation: Challenges arising from contrary mitigation effects from indirect land-use change and sulfur emissions

Calvin, Katherine; Wise, Marshall; Clarke, Leon; … - In: Energy Economics 42 (2014) C, pp. 233-239

We explore the implications of potentially counteractive greenhouse gas mitigation responses to carbon prices and the complications that could ensue for limiting radiative forcing in the near-term. Specifically we consider the problem of reproducing the radiative forcing pathway for...

Exploring renewable energy pricing with analytic network process — Comparing a developed and a developing economy

Iskin, Ibrahim; Daim, Tugrul; Kayakutlu, Gulgun; … - In: Energy Economics 34 (2012) 4, pp. 882-891

Increasing use of renewable sources has a vital importance in mitigating increasing energy demand and global warming. The limited reserves and negative environmental impacts associated with fossil fuel consumption make the renewable energy sources considerable alternatives in case environmental...
