Carbon Price and Wind Power Support in Denmark
Gavard, Claire - 2015
This paper aims at characterizing the conditions of wind power deployment in order to infer a carbon price level that would provide wind power with comparable advantage over fossil fuel technologies as effective wind support policies. The analysis is conducted on Danish data from 2000 to 2010,...

The impact of unilateral climate policy with endogenous plant location and market size asymmetry
Sanna-Randaccio, Francesca; Sestini, Roberta - 2010
This paper analyses the impact of unilateral climate policy on firms' international location strategies in emission-intensive sectors, when countries differ in terms of market size. The cases of partial and total relocation via foreign direct investment are separately considered. A simple...

Carbon Leakage Revisited: Unilateral Climate Policy with Directed Technical Change
Di Maria, Corrado; van der Werf, Edwin - 2006
A common critique to the Kyoto Protocol is that the reduction in emissions of CO2 by countries who comply with it will be (partly) offset by the increase in emissions on the part of other countries (carbon leakage). This paper analyzes the effect of technical change on carbon leakage in a...

Carbon emissions trading and equity in international agreements
Bosello, Francesco; Roson, Roberto - 1999
An integrated assessment model is used to simulate the introduction of various emissions trading schemes based on the Kyoto protocol on the reduction of greenhouse emissions. The implications of the various systems in terms of income distribution are illustrated, and it is claimed that the issue...

Can uncertainty justify overlapping policy instruments to mitigate emissions?
Lecuyer, Oskar; Quirion, Philippe - 2012
This article constitutes a new contribution to the analysis of overlapping instruments to cover the same emission sources. Using both an analytical and a numerical model, we show that when the risk that the CO2 price drops to zero and the political unavailability of a CO2 tax (at least in the...

A Simple Formula for the Social Cost of Carbon
van den Bijgaart, Inge; Gerlagh, Reyer; Korsten, Luuk; … - 2013
The social cost of carbon (SCC), commonly referred to as the carbon price, is the monetized damage from emitting one unit of CO2 to the atmosphere. The SCC is typically obtained from large-scale computational Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) that consolidate interdisciplinary climate research...
