A simple model is used to illustrate the effects of a reduction in (marginal) abatement cost in a two country setting. It can be shown that a the country experiencing a cost reduction can actually be worse off. This holds true for a variety of quantity and price based emission policies. The most...

It is still difficult for biofuel producers to prove the contribution of their biofuels to reducing carbon emissions … because the production of biofuel feedstocks can cause land use change (LUC), which in turn causes carbon emissions. A carbon … offset any contribution of biofuels to reducing carbon emissions, we argue that all agricultural production should be subject …
