The impact of the European Monetary Union on inflation persistence in the Euro area
Meller, Barbara; Nautz, Dieter - 2009
This paper uses the European Monetary Union (EMU) as a natural experiment to investigate whether more effective monetary policy reduces the persistence of inflation. Taking into account the fractional integration of inflation, we confirm that inflation dynamics differed considerably across Euro...

Biofuels subsidies and the green paradox
Grafton, R. Quentin; Kompas, Tom - 2010
This paper develops sufficient conditions under which the Weak Green Paradox may (and may not) hold in terms of subsidies for biofuel production such that the supply-side responses by fossil fuel producers may more than offset the substitution to biofuels. Analytical results are derived and...

Impacts of wholesale electricity price under varying carbon price levels on carbon emissions and economic output in Australia
Nepal, Rabindra; Paija, Nirash - 2020
Reducing global carbon emissions and mitigating the adverse impacts of climate change is a fundamental environmental challenge. Australia's target is to reduce carbon emissions by between 26% and 28% by 2030 compared to 2005 emission levels. Carbon pricing can be an effective market-based...

Internal Validity of Estimating the Carbon Kuznets Curve by Controlling for Energy Use
Itkonen, Juha - 2010
The carbon Kuznetz curve (CKC) hypothesis assumes that carbon dioxide emissions initially increase in tandem with output but start decreasing at higher levels of output. This paper considers the internal validity of estimating the CKC in an integrated framework of carbon dioxide emissions,...
