Environmental and technology policy options in the electricity sector : interactions and outcomes
Fischer, Carolyn; Newell, Richard G.; Preonas, Louis - 2014
Myriad policy measures aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the electricity sector, promote generation from renewable sources, and encourage energy conservation. To what extent do innovation and energy efficiency (EE) market failures justify additional interventions when a carbon price is...

Pathways toward zero-carbon electricity required for climate stabilization
Audoly, Richard; Vogt-Schilb, Adrien; Guivarch, Céline; … - 2017
This paper covers three policy-relevant aspects of the carbon content of electricity that are well established among integrated assessment models but under-discussed in the policy debate. First, climate stabilization at any level from 2°C to 3°C requires electricity to be almost carbon-free...

How does market competition affect firm innovation incentives in emerging countries? : evidence from Chile and Colombia
Benavente H., José Miguel; Zuniga, Pluvia - 2022
The effect of market competition on firm innovation remains controversial, especially in the context of developing … countries. This paper presents new empirical evidence about the causal impact of competition on firm innovation for Chilean and … Colombian manufacturing firms. Using instrumental-variable estimation, our results show that market competition increases firm …

Assessing China's energy conservation and carbon intensity : how will the future differ from the past?
Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2010 - This version: May 24, 2010
As an important step towards building a "harmonious society" through "scientific development", China has incorporated for the first time in its five-year economic plan an energy input indicator as a constraint. While it achieved a quadrupling of its GDP while cutting its energy intensity by...

Bush meets hotelling : effects of improved renewable energy technology on greenhouse gas emissions
Hoel, Michael - 2009
Fossil fuels are non-renewable carbon resources, and the extraction path of these resources depends both on present and future demand. When this "Hotelling feature" is taken into consideration, the whole price path of carbon fuel will shift downwards as a response to the reduced cost of the...

The clean energy R&D strategy for 2°C
Marangoni, Giacomo; Tavoni, Massimo - 2013
This paper uses an integrated assessment model to quantify the climate R&D investment strategy for a variety of scenarios fully consistent with 2°C. We estimate the total climate R&D investment needs in approximately 1 USD Trillion cumulatively in the period 2010-2030, and 1.6 USD Trillions in...

Is energy planning consistent with climate goals? : assessing future emissions from power plants in Latin America and the Caribbean
Marinkovic, Catalina; Vogt-Schilb, Adrien - 2023
At least ten Latin American and Caribbean countries have pledged to achieve carbon neutrality. Has electricity planning in the region evolved towards reaching these goals? We compare power generation capacity in 2023 to announced plans in 2019. We then estimate committed emissions from existing...
