Belts and Suspenders : Interactions Among Climate Policy Regulations

Levinson, Arik - 2010

With few exceptions, economic analyses of "cap-and-trade" permit trading mechanisms for climate change mitigation have been based on first-best scenarios without pre-existing distortions or regulations. The reason is obvious: interactions between permit trading and other regulations will be...

Can a Unilateral Carbon Tax Reduce Emissions Elsewhere?

Elliott, Joshua - 2013

Most CGE models do not allow for negative leakage. In this paper, we use a full CGE model with many countries and many goods to measure effects in a way that allows for negative leakage. We vary elasticities of substitution and confirm the analytical model's prediction that negative leakage...

Trade, Leakage, and the Design of a Carbon Tax

Weisbach, David A.; Kortum, Samuel; Wang, Michael Y.; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022

region of the world imposes a climate policy and the rest of the world is passive. We solve the model analytically and also …

Decarbonization and Electrification in the Long Run

Holland, Stephen P.; Mansur, Erin; Yates, Andrew J. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022

Decarbonization and electrification will require a transformed electricity grid. Our long-run model of entry and exit of generation and storage capacity captures crucial aspects of the electricity industry such as time-varying demand for electricity, intermittency of renewables, and...

Using the Market to Address Climate Change : Insights from Theory and Experience

Aldy, Joseph E. - 2011

Emissions of greenhouse gases linked with global climate change are affected by diverse aspects of economic activity, including individual consumption, business investment, and government spending. An effective climate policy will have to modify the decision calculus for these activities in the...

Distributional Impacts of Carbon Pricing : A General Equilibrium Approach with Micro-Data for Households

Rausch, Sebastian - 2011

Many policies to limit greenhouse gas emissions have at their core efforts to put a price on carbon emissions. Carbon pricing impacts households both by raising the cost of carbon intensive products and by changing factor prices. A complete analysis requires taking both effects into account. The...

The Possibilities For Global Poverty Reduction Using Revenues From Global Carbon Pricing

Davies, James B. - 2011

central case analysis, revenues from globally internalizing carbon pricing rise to 7% and then fall to 5% of gross world …

On a World Climate Assembly and the Social Cost of Carbon

Weitzman, Martin - 2016

This paper postulates the conceptually useful allegory of a futuristic "World Climate Assembly" (WCA) that votes for a … emitter's single-peaked most-preferred world price of carbon emissions to the world "Social Cost of Carbon" (SCC). The second … and third propositions relate the WCA-voted world price of carbon to the world SCC. I argue that the WCA-voted price and …

How a Minimum Carbon Price Commitment Might Help to Internalize the Global Warming Externality

Weitzman, Martin L. - 2016

It is difficult to resolve the global warming free-rider externality problem by negotiating many different quantity targets. By contrast, negotiating a single internationally-binding minimum carbon price (the proceeds from which are domestically retained) counters self-interest by incentivizing...

Can Negotiating a Uniform Carbon Price Help to Internalize the Global Warming Externality?

Weitzman, Martin - 2013

Thus far, most approaches to resolving the global warming externality have been quantity based. With n different national entities, a meaningful comprehensive treaty involves negotiating n different binding emissions quotas (whether tradeable or not). In post-Kyoto practice this n-dimensional...
