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...

Marginal abatement cost curves in general equilibrium : the influence of world energy prices
Klepper, Gernot; Peterson, Sonja - 2004
world wide influences energy prices and thus national MACCs. We first discuss the mechanisms theoretically and then use the … CGE model DART to quantify the effects. The result is, that changes in energy prices resulting from different world wide …

Sharing R&D investments in breakthrough technologies to control climate change
Rubio, Santiago J. - 2016
This paper examines international cooperation on technological development as an alternative to international cooperation on GHG emission reductions. In order to analyze the scope of cooperation, a three-stage technology agreement formation game is solved. First, countries decide whether or not...

Sharing R&D investments in cleaner technologies to mitigate climate change
El-Sayed, Abeer; Rubio, Santiago J. - 2014
This paper examines international cooperation on technological development as an alternative to international cooperation on GHG emission reductions. It is assumed that when countries cooperate they coordinate their investments so as to minimize the agreement costs of controlling emissions and...

A good opening : the key to make the most of unilateral climate action
Bosetti, Valentina; De Cian, Enrica - 2011
In this paper we argue that when a subgroup of countries cooperate on emission reduction, the optimal response of non-signatory countries reflects the interaction between three potentially opposing factors, the incentive to free-ride on the benefits of cooperation, the incentive to expand the...

Catastrophic risk, precautionary abatement, and adaptation transfers
Bosello, Francesco; De Cian, Enrica; Ferranna, Licia - 2014
optimal policy balance in the context of catastrophic climate risk. The analysis uses the WITCH integrated assessment model … with a module that models the endogenous risk of experiencing an economic catastrophe if temperature increases above a … certain threshold. We find that the risk of a catastrophic outcome would encourage countries to reduce emissions even in the …

Global oil price swings : has their effect on Malta changed over time?
Ruisi, Germano - 2023
This paper develops a two-block Structural Vector Autoregression featuring time-varying parameters and stochastic volatility to estimate the changing spillover of global oil shocks into the Maltese economy during the period that goes from January 2008 to March 2022. The model is estimated by...
