AGE assessment of interactions between climate change policy instruments and pre-existing taxes: the case of Ireland
Wissema, Wiepke; Dellink, Rob - In: International Journal of Global Environmental Issues 10 (2010) 1/2, pp. 46-62
We introduce a computable general equilibrium model for Ireland to investigate the impact of climate policy on the Irish economy, taking special notice of interactions with the existing tax structure. To this end, we extend the model with a detailed representation of the tax system using...

Simple Rules for Targeting CO2 Allowance Allocations to Compensate Firms
Palmer, Karen; Butraw, Dallas; Kahn, Danny - 2006
Policies to cap emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), such as the recently announced agreement among seven northeastern states, are expected to have important effects on the electricity industry and on the market value of firms that own electricity generation assets. The economics literature finds...

CO2 Allowance Allocation in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative and the Effect on Electricity Investors
Burtraw, Dallas; Palmer, Karen; Kahn, Daniel - 2005
The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) is an effort by nine Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states to develop a regional, mandatory, market-based cap-and-trade program to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the electricity sector. The initiative is expected to lead to an increase in the...

Compensation for Electricity Consumers Under a U.S. CO2 Emissions Cap
Paul, Anthony; Burtraw, Dallas; Palmer, Karen - 2008
Policies to cap emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the U.S. economy could pose significant costs on the electricity sector, which contributes roughly 40 percent of total CO2 emissions in the U.S. Using a detailed simulation model of the electricity sector, we evaluate alternative ways that...

Long-Run Equilibrium Modeling of Alternative Emissions Allowance Allocation Systems in Electric Power Markets
Schulkin, J.Z.; Hobbs, B.F.; Pang, J. - Faculty of Economics, University of Cambridge - 2007
A question in the design of carbon dioxide trading systems is how allowances are to be initially allocated: by auction, by giving away fixed amounts, or by allocating based on output, fuel, or other decisions. The latter system can bias investment, operations, and pricing decisions, and increase...
