Environmental and Technology Policies for Climate Change and Renewable Energy
Fischer, Carolyn; Newell, Richard G. - 2005
We assess different policies for reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and promoting the innovation and diffusion of CO2-reducing power technologies: (1) emissions price, (2) tax on fossil power, (3) tradable emissions performance standard, (4) market share requirement for renewables, (5)...

Climate Change, Energy Demand and Market Power in a General Equilibrium Model of the World Economy
Roson, Roberto; Bosello, Francesco; de Cian, Enrica - 2007
Future energy demand will be affected by changes in prices and income, but also by other factors, like temperature … annual regional demand for energy goods. Combining estimates of temperature elasticities with scenarios of future climate … change, it is possible to assess variations in energy demand induced (directly) by the global warming. We use this …

Allocation of CO2 Emissions Allowances in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Cap-and-Trade Program
Burtraw, Dallas; Palmer, Karen L.; Kahn, Danny - 2005
Cap-and-trade programs for air emissions have become the widely accepted, preferred approach to cost-effective pollution reduction. One of the important design questions in a trading program is how to initially distribute the emissions allowances. Under the Acid Rain program created by Title IV...

CO2 Allowance Allocation in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative and the Effect on Electricity Investors
Burtraw, Dallas; Kahn, Danny; Palmer, Karen L. - 2005
The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) is an effort by nine Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states to develop a regional, mandatory, market-based cap-and-trade program to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the electricity sector. The initiative is expected to lead to an increase in the...

Fixed Instruments to Cope with Stock Externalities An Experimental Evaluation
Giordana, Gaston A.; Willinger, Marc - 2007
We evaluate the effectiveness of non optimal and temporally inconsistent incentive policies for regulating the exploitation of a renewable common-pool resource. The corresponding game is an N-person discrete-time deterministic dynamic game of T periods fixed duration. Three policy instruments...
