Regional Patterns of U.S. Household Carbon Emissions

Pizer, William A.; Sanchirico, James N.; Batz, Michael B. - 2013

Market-based policies to address fossil fuel-related externalities including climate change typically operate by raising the price of those fuels. Increases in energy prices have important consequences for a typical U.S. household that spent almost $4,000 per year on electricity, fuel oil,...

Using Taxes to Meet an Emission Target

Harris, Robert I. - 2020

this paper, we propose an objective function to evaluate these alternative "carbon tax policies to meet an emission target …." The objective function includes a discrete jump in marginal emission consequences at the target, where the discontinuity … can be interpreted as a true benefit measure or a necessary political constraint. We parameterize these emission …

Comparing Emissions Mitigation Efforts Across Countries

Pizer, William A. - 2015

A natural outcome of the emerging pledge and review approach to international climate change policy is the interest in comparing mitigation efforts among countries. Domestic publics and stakeholders will have an interest in knowing if “comparable” or “peer” countries are undertaking (or...

Comparing Emissions Mitigation Efforts Across Countries

Aldy, Joseph E. - 2015

A natural outcome of the emerging pledge and review approach to international climate change policy is the interest in comparing mitigation efforts among countries. Domestic publics and stakeholders will have an interest in knowing if peer countries are undertaking (or planning to undertake)...

Balancing Cost and Emissions Certainty : An Allowance Reserve for Cap-and-Trade

Murray, Brian C. - 2008

On efficiency grounds, the economics community has to date tended to emphasize price-based policies to address climate change -- such as taxes or a "safety-valve" price ceiling for cap-and-trade -- while environmental advocates have sought a more clear quantitative limit on emissions. This paper...

Combating Global Warming

Parry, Ian W. H. - 2007

The favored federal policy to address climate change is a domestic cap-and-trade system. However, a vocal minority of political leaders have begun arguing in favor of a carbon tax. Carbon taxes seem particularly attractive both for fiscal reasons and because they provide certainty over the price...

Regulating Stock Externalities Under Uncertainty

Newell, Richard G.; Pizer, William A. - 2002

Using a simple analytical model incorporating benefits of a stock, costs of adjusting the stock, and uncertainty in costs, we uncover several important principles governing the choice of price-based policies (e.g., taxes) relative to quantity-based policies (e.g., tradable permits) for...
