The focus of the green paradox literature has been either on demand-side climate policies or on effects of … no green paradox if supply-side climate policies are aimed at high-cost carbon reserves. If instead low-cost reserves are … removed, the possibility that both early and total emissions increase cannot be ruled out. Hence, "wrong" supply-side climate …

Well-intended policies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions may have unintended undesirable consequences. Recently, a large literature has emerged showing that such a 'green paradox' may occur in response to particular policies. We review this literature and identify four different...

The theory of the “Green Paradox” subverts the traditional theoretical foundation of the environmental policies. The crucial question is whether the green paradox holds and how large the impact is in reality, which has provoked heated debate among economists. This article identifies and...

This paper takes the ‘policy failure’ in establishing a global carbon price for efficient emissions reduction as a starting point and analyzes to what extent technology policies can be a reasonable second-best approach. From a supply-side perspective, carbon capture and storage (CCS)...

During recent years increased attention has been given to second-generation wood-based bioenergy. The carbon stored in the forest is highest when there is little or no harvest from the forest. Increasing the harvest from a forest, in order to produce more bioenergy, may thus conflict with the...
