Is arbitrage tying the price of ethanol to that of gasoline? Evidence from the uptake of flexible-fuel technology
Salvo, Alberto; Huse, Christian; Goldbaum, Sergio; … - 2007
developing a successful substitute for gasoline merits attention. Brazil is the only sizable economy to date to have developed a … consumers, across ethanol and gasoline at the pump. We show that the model stands up well to the empirical covariation in prices … the retail price of ethanol to that of gasoline. Of relevance to the current food-versus-fuel" debate, the outward shift …

The enhanced use of wood-biomass: Macroeconomic, sectoral and environmental impacts
Schwarzbauer, Wolfgang; Balabanov, Todor - 2008
The main objective of this paper is to identify fuel substitution potential by estimating potential price induced energy substitution and by considering available technological options. We consider the impacts of CO2 taxation on reduction of emissions until 2020, assuming CO2 neutrality of...

Optimal taxation of externalities interacting through markets: A theoretical general equilibrium analysis
Ren, Xiaolin; Fullerton, Don; Braden, John B. - 2010
This study develops a theoretical general equilibrium model to examine optimal externality tax policy in the presence of externalities linked to one another through markets rather than technical production relationships. Analytical results reveal that the second-best externality tax rate may be...

Does a renewable fuel standard for biofuels reduce climate costs?
Greaker, Mads; Hoel, Michael; Rosendahl, Knut Einar - 2012
Recent contributions have questioned whether biofuels policies actually lead to emissions reductions, and thus lower climate costs. In this paper we make two contributions to the literature. First, we study the market effects of a renewable fuel standard. Opposed to most previous studies we...

Cost pass-through of the EU emissions allowances: Examining the European petroleum markets
Alexeeva-Talebi, Victoria - 2010
This paper explores the ability of European refineries to pass-through costs associated with the introduction of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS). We estimated a sequence of vector error correction models (VECM) within a multi-national setting which covers 14 EU member states. Using...
