Energy efficiency policy in a non-cooperative world
Barla, Philippe; Proost, Stef - In: Energy Economics 34 (2012) 6, pp. 2209-2215
In this paper, we explore energy efficiency policies in the presence of a global environmental problem and international cost interdependency associated with R&D activities. We develop a simple model with two regions where the cost of an appliance in one region depends upon the level of energy...

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 … toward non-fossil technologies when large reductions are required. Under stringent pollution targets, the non-target effects … have greater incentives to reduce SO2 and NOx with locally apparent pollution benefits, but related efforts would at the …

Financing for climate change
Cooper, Richard N. - In: Energy Economics 34 (2012) S1, pp. 29-29
This paper argues that the 2009 pledge of $100 billion in 2020 by rich countries for mitigation and adaptation should not be used for mitigation by commercial firms in developing countries, since that would artificially create competitive advantage for such firms and provoke protectionist...

The optimal subsidy on electric vehicles in German metropolitan areas: A spatial general equilibrium analysis
Hirte, Georg; Tscharaktschiew, Stefan - In: Energy Economics 40 (2013) C, pp. 515-528
E-mobility and diffusion of electric vehicles have become a major policy issue in many countries. For example, the German federal government pursues the strategy of achieving one million electric vehicles by 2020. In this paper we examine whether it is optimal to subsidize the use of electric...

How effective are policies to reduce gasoline consumption? Evaluating a set of measures in Spain
Asensio, Javier; Gómez-Lobo, Andrés; Matas, Anna - In: Energy Economics 42 (2014) C, pp. 34-42
Using a panel of 48 provinces for four years we empirically analyze a series of temporary and permanent policies aimed at curbing fuel consumption implemented in Spain between March and June 2011. The first policy was a reduction in the speed limit in highways. The second policy was an increase...

Transport and low-carbon fuel: A study of public preferences in Spain
Loureiro, Maria L.; Labandeira, Xavier; Hanemann, Michael - In: Energy Economics 40 (2013) S1, pp. 126-126
Transport is essential for the control of future greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and thus a target for active policy intervention in the future. Yet, social preferences for policies are likely to play an important role. In this paper we first review the existing literature on preferences...

The Double Dividend hypothesis in a CGE model: Specific factors and the carbon base
Fraser, Iain; Waschik, Robert - In: Energy Economics 39 (2013) C, pp. 283-295
We use a Computable General Equilibrium model to empirically examine the Double Dividend (DD) hypothesis. Using the GTAP model data for Australia, we examine three environmental taxes on the production of energy goods. Following Bento and Jacobsen (2007), we examine the role played by specific...

The merit order effect of wind and photovoltaic electricity generation in Germany 2008–2016: Estimation and distributional implications
Cludius, Johanna; Hermann, Hauke; Matthes, Felix Chr.; … - In: Energy Economics 44 (2014) C, pp. 302-313
Generation from renewable energy sources in Germany has experienced a considerable uptake in recent years. Mainly responsible for this development is the German Renewable Energy Sources Act (Erneuerbare Energien Gesetz, EEG). This paper considers redistributive implications of the EEG for...
