Second-best climate policy
Hoel, Michael - 2012
Countries with an active climate policy often use several other policy instruments in addition to a price on carbon emissions, such as subsidies to renewable energy. An obvious reason for subsidizing alternatives to carbon energy is that the price of carbon emissions is too low. The paper...

Partial and global cooperation with unilateral commitment in the presence of global environmental problems: Coalition theory network
Pereau, Jean-Christophe; Tazdait, Tarik - 2000
This paper focuses on the link between the group co-operation and the unilateral commitment behaviour of some countries in the presence of global environmental problems. As we consider that this last behaviour occurs when bargaining failed, we call it a precautious commitment. We also show that...

Kyoto and the carbon content of trade
Aichele, Rahel; Felbermayr, Gabriel - 2010
A unilateral tax on CO2 emissions may drive up indirect carbon imports from non-committed countries, leading to carbon leakage. Using a gravity model of carbon trade, we analyze the effect of the Kyoto Protocol on the carbon content of bilateral trade. We construct a novel data set of CO2...

Can carbon based import tariffs effectively reduce carbon emissions?
Hübler, Michael - 2009
their total emissions, and net carbon exports of China amount to 24% of China's total emissions. We also analyze policies … under a global per capita emissions based contraction and convergence regime with emission trading: When China joins the … regime, the developing countries will benefit, while the industrialized countries will be almost unaffected. When China does …

Is there really a green paradox?
van der Ploeg, Frederick; Withagen, Cees A. - 2010
The Green Paradox states that, in the absence of a tax on CO2 emissions, subsidizing a renewable backstop such as solar or wind energy brings forward the date at which fossil fuels become exhausted and consequently global warming is aggravated. We shed light on this issue by solving a model of...

Environmental and climate innovation: Limitations, prices and policies
van den Bergh, Jeroen C. J. M. - 2010
There is currently much hope about environmental innovation and green technologies, notably as a response to the threat of climate change. This paper offers a critical perspective on the role of technological innovation to solving environmental problems, based on considering empirical economic...

The global impact of the U.S. inflation reduction act: Evidence from an international expert survey
Gründler, Klaus; Heil, Philipp; Potrafke, Niklas; … - 2023
The US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) promotes renewable energy and contributes to climate protection, but also offers generous tax credits and subsidies to incentivize production in the United States. While the planned generosity of the program has sparked an intense debate about potential...

CO2-Vermeidung und Brennstoffwahl in der Elektrizitätserzeugung: Ökonometrische Analysen
Tauchmann, Harald - 2004
Angesichts einer drohenden Veränderung des Weltklimas wurde die Notwendigkeit erkannt, den Ausstoß klimarelevanter Spurengase, insbesondere CO2, zu reduzieren. Ein Weg dazu könnte in der Substitution von Energieträgern bestehen, wobei sich der Elektrizitätserzeugungssektor als größter...
