Can uncertainty justify overlapping policy instruments to mitigate emissions?
Lecuyer, Oskar; Quirion, Philippe - 2012
This article constitutes a new contribution to the analysis of overlapping instruments to cover the same emission sources. Using both an analytical and a numerical model, we show that when the risk that the CO2 price drops to zero and the political unavailability of a CO2 tax (at least in the...
