Strategic delegation and international permit markets: Why linking may fail

Habla, Wolfgang; Winkler, Ralph - 2017

We analyse a principal-agent relationship in the context of international climate policy. Principals in two countries first decide whether to merge domestic emission permit markets to an international market, then delegate the domestic permit supply to an agent. We find that principals select...

The political economy of negotiating international carbon markets

Arvaniti, Maria; Habla, Wolfgang - 2020

International carbon markets are frequently propagated as an efficient instrument for reducing CO2 emissions. We argue that such markets, despite their desirable efficiency properties, might not be in the best interest of governments who are guided by strategic considerations in negotiations. We...

The European Union emissions trading scheme and fuel efficiency of fossil fuel power plants in Germany

Germeshausen, Robert - 2018

I investigate the impact of the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) on fuel efficiency of fossil fuel power plants using administrative micro data on power plants in Germany from 2003 to 2012. I find positive efficiency effects in fuel use, leading to a decrease in fuel input of 0.4...

The impact of carbon prices on renewable energy support

Abrell, Jan; Kosch, Mirjam - 2021

This paper examines how optimal renewable energy (RE) support (RES) policies need to be adjusted to account for carbon prices. We show theoretically and empirically that changing carbon prices requires adjusting RE production subsidies due to two different motives: First, RE premiums need to be...

Between- and within-country distributional impacts from harmonizing carbon prices in the EU

Fredriksson, Gustav; Landis, Florian; Rausch, Sebastian - 2021

This paper examines the distributional impacts from (i) harmonizing prices for carbon dioxide emissions across sectors and EU countries and (ii) using alternative rules for carbon revenue distribution. We develop a numerical multi-country multi-sector general equilibrium model of the EU-27...

Mission Impossible!? On the Harmonization of National Allocation Plans under the EU Emissions Trading Directive

Böhringer, Christoph; Lange, Andreas - 2004

Starting in 2005, the EU will implement a CO2 emissions trading scheme. In this paper we show that the outspoken goals of economic efficiency and free allocation of allowances are incompatible with harmonized allocation rules. In general, the assignment of allowances is endogenous and differs...

Green technology policies versus carbon pricing: An intergenerational perspective

Rausch, Sebastian; Yonezawa, Hidemichi - 2023

Technology policy is the most widespread form of climate policy and is often preferred over seemingly efficient carbon pricing. We propose a new explanation for this observation: gains that predominantly accrue to households with large capital assets and that influence majority decisions in...
