The Effect of EU-ETS on Swedish Industry's Investment in Carbon Mitigating Technologies

Löfgren, Åsa; Wråke, Markus; Hagberg, Tomas; Roth, … - Nationalekonomiska institutionen, Handelshögskolan - 2013

The European Union’s Emissions Trading Scheme (EU-ETS) is so far the largest emissions trading system in the world. It covers about 12000 installations, representing approximately 45% of EU emissions of CO2, with the objective to establish a carbon price creating incentives for cost efficient...

Unintended Impacts of Multiple Instruments on Technology Adoption

Coria, Jessica - Nationalekonomiska institutionen, Handelshögskolan - 2009

There are many situations where environmental authorities use a mix of environmental policy instruments, rather than one single instrument, to address environmental concerns. For example, one instrument may be used to reduce overall emissions of a pollutant while another is used to address...

Hennlock, Magnus - Nationalekonomiska institutionen, Handelshögskolan - 2006

The recent approach ‘subgame consistency’ in cooperative stochastic differential games by Yeung and Petrosjan (2006) and Yeung and Petrosjan (2004) is applied to the classical Coase theorem in the presence of stochastic stock externalities. The dynamic Coasean bargaining solution is...

Prices vs Quantities with Multiple Pollutants

Ambec, Stefan; Coria, Jessica - Nationalekonomiska institutionen, Handelshögskolan - 2011

We examine the choice of policy instrument price, quantity, or a mix of the two when two pollutants are regulated and firms’ abatement costs are private information. A key parameter that affects this choice is the technological externality between the abatement efforts involved, i.e., whether...

Environmental Structural Decomposition Analysis of Italian Emissions, 1995-2005

Rocchi, Paola; Serrano, Monica - Facultat d'Economia i Empresa, Universitat de Barcelona - 2011

This study analyses the evolution of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and acidification emissions for Italy in the years 1995-2005. Looking at data, while emissions that contribute to the local problem of acidification have been decreasing quite constantly, GHG emissions have been showing a slight...

Does experience eliminate the effect of a default option? - A field experiment on CO2-offsetting for air transport. New title (when published): Are experienced people affected by a...

Löfgren, Åsa; Martinsson, Peter; Hennlock, Magnus; … - Nationalekonomiska institutionen, Handelshögskolan - 2009

Earlier research has shown that using a default option has a decisive effect on individuals’ choices. In many cases, however, the low proportion of subjects who switch from the pre-set default option might partly explained by inexperience with the goods or services offered, and high...

Evaluation of Agri-Environmental Policies for Water Quality Improvement Accounting for Firm Heterogeneity

Doole, Graeme J.; Marsh, Dan; Ramilan, Thiagaragah - Department of Economics, Waikato Management School - 2011

Policy makers worldwide are interested in the identification of cost-effective policy instruments to reduce diffuse pollution. A large economic model representing heterogeneous farms is used to evaluate a broad set of policies for reducing nitrate regulation within a large catchment dominated by...

Air Pollution Dynamics and the Need for Temporally Differentiated Road Pricing

Coria, Jessica; Bonilla, Jorge; Grundström, Maria; … - Nationalekonomiska institutionen, Handelshögskolan - 2013

In this paper we investigate the effects of the temporal variation of pollution dispersion, traffic flows and vehicular emissions on pollution concentration and illustrate the need for temporally differentiated road pricing through an application to the case of the congestion charge in...
