Cost heterogeneity and the potential savings from market-based policies
Newell, Richard G.; Stavins, Robert N. - 2002
Policy makers and analysts are often faced with situations where it is unclear whether market-based instruments hold real promise of reducing costs, relative to conventional uniform standards. We develop analytic expressions that can be employed with modest amounts of information to estimate the...

Politics and economics of second-best regulation of greenhouse gases : the importance of regulatory credibility
Bosetti, Valentina; Victor, David G. - 2010
Modellers have examined a wide array of ideal-world scenarios for regulation of greenhouse gases. In this ideal world … analysts have given inordinate attention to which countries participate in regulation—what we call “variable geometry …”—which has a strikingly small impact on total world cost of carbon regulations if international trade in emission credits allows …

Global climate policy architecture and political feasibility: specific formulas and emission targets to attain 460 ppm CO2 concentrations
Bosetti, Valentina; Frankel, Jeffrey A. - 2009
Three gaps in the Kyoto Protocol most badly need to be filled: the absence of emission targets extending far into the future, the absence of participation by the United States, China, and other developing countries, and the absence of reason to think that members will abide by commitments. To be...

Advances and slowdowns in carbon capture and storage technology development
D'Aprile, Aurora - 2016
With the long term goal of holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C and "to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C", the Paris Agreement puts renewed attention on the portfolio of technologies needed to achieve consistent emission reductions...

Emissions pricing to stabilize global climate
Bosetti, Valentina; Paltsev, Sergey V.; Reilly, John M.; … - 2011
In the absence of significant greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation, many analysts project that atmospheric concentrations of species identified for control in the Kyoto protocol could exceed 1000 ppm (carbon-dioxide-equivalent) by 2100 from the current levels of about 435 ppm. This could lead to...
