Det övergripande syftet med denna rapport är att med hjälp av ekonomisk teori och ekonometriska metoder försöka klargöra vilka faktorer som historiskt påverkat utvecklingen av elpriset. Av specifikt intresse är en analys av hur avregleringen 1996 påverkat elmarknaden och därmed...

The overall objective of the paper is to analyze convergence of CO2 emission intensity across manufacturing sectors in Sweden. Our approach differs from previous work on carbon convergence in that it employs a theoretical framework to construct a CO2 performance index, which explicitly takes...

This paper examines convergence of per capita carbon dioxide (CO2) emission for a panel of 124 countries taking into account the impact of the quality of government institutions. The analysis builds on both parametric and nonparametric panel data techniques, and we examine the beta-convergence...

This paper addresses the issue of environmental policy instrument choice for achieving deep emission reductions in the industrial sector. Specifically, it provides: (a) a theoretical and empirical review of the conditions under which performance standards can provide efficient incentives for...
