Uncertainty and stock returns in energy markets: a quantile regression approach
Cedic, Samir; Mahmoud, Alwan; Manera, Matteo; Uddin, … - 2021
The aim of this paper is to analyze the relationship between different types of uncertainty and stock returns of the renewable energy and the oil & gas sectors. We use the quantile regression approach developed by Koenker and d'Orey (1987; 1994) to assess which uncertainties are the potential...

On green growth with sustainable capital
Basu, Parantap; Jamasb, Tooraj - 2020
We develop an endogenous growth model to address a long standing question whether sustainable green growth is feasible by re-allocating resource use between green (natural) and man-made (carbon intensive) capital. Although the model is general we relate it to the UKís green growth policy...

Contracting for impure public goods : carbon offsets and additionality
Mason, Charles F.; Plantinga, Andrew - 2011
Governments contracting with private agents for the provision of an impure public good must contend with agents who would potentially supply the good absent any payments. This additionality problem is centrally important in the use of carbon offsets as part of climate change mitigation....

Super-grids and concentrated solar power : a scenario analysis with the WITCH model
Massetti, Emanuele; Ricci, Elena Claire - 2011
We extend the WITCH model to consider the possibility to produce and trade electricity generated by large scale concentrated solar power plants in highly productive areas that are connected to the demand centres through High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) cables. We find that it becomes optimal...

The potential of REDD+ for carbon sequestration in tropical forests : supply curves for carbon storage for Kalimantan, Indonesia
Indrajaya, Yonky; Van der Werf, Edwin; Weikard, Hans-Peter - 2015
We study the potential of tropical multi-age multi-species forests for sequestering carbon in response to financial incentives from REDD+. The use of reduced impact logging techniques (RIL) allows a forest owner to apply for carbon credits whereas the use of conventional logging techniques (CL)...

Technology agreements with heterogeneous countries
Hoel, Michael; Zeeuw, Aart de - 2013
For sufficiently low abatement costs many countries might undertake significant emission reductions even without any international agreement on emission reductions. We consider a situation where a coalition of countries does not cooperate on emission reductions but cooperates on the development...

Why do firms hold oil stockpiles?
Mason, Charles F. - 2011
Persistent and significant privately-held stockpiles of crude oil have long been an important empirical regularity in the United States. Such stockpiles would not rationally be held in a traditional Hotelling-style model. How then can the existence of these inventories be explained? In the...
