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 …”—which has a strikingly small impact on total world cost of carbon regulations if international trade in emission credits allows … another factor that analysts have largely ignored: credibility. In the real world governments find it difficult to craft and …

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...
