Carbon Abatement in the Fuel Market with Biofuels: Implications for Second-Best Policies
Crago, Christine L.; Khanna, Madhu - 2010
A carbon tax would penalize carbon intensive fuels like gasoline and shiftfuel consumption to less carbon intensive alternatives like biofuels. Since biofuelproduction competes for land with agriculture, a carbon tax could raiseland rents, divert land towards fuel production, and raise...

Biofuels: Potential Production Capacity, Effects on Grain and Livestock Sectors, and Implications for Food Prices and Consumers
Hayes, Dermot J.; Babcock, Bruce A.; Fabiosa, Jacinto F.; … - 2009
We examined four evolution paths of the biofuel sector using a partial equilibrium worldagricultural sector model in CARD that includes the new RFS in the 2007 EISA, a two-wayrelationship between fossil energy and biofuel markets, and a new trend toward corn oilextraction in ethanol plants. At...
