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...

Welfare impacts of alternative biofuel and energy policies

Cui, Jingbo; Lapan, Harvey E.; Moschini, GianCarlo; … - 2010

We employ an open economy general equilibrium model to investigate the effects of government energy policy, with emphasis on corn-based ethanol, on the U.S. economy. The model specification incorporates world and domestic markets, assumes pollution costs from fuel consumption, and allows...

The effect of biofuel on the international oil market

Hochman, Gal; Rajagopal, Deepak; Zilberman, David - 2010

This paper derives a method to quantify the short- to medium-run impact of biofuel on fuelmarkets, assuming that these markets are dominated by cartel of oil-rich countries, and that pricesin these countries are set to maximize the sum of domestic consumer and producer surplus, leadingto a wedge...

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...
