Assessing the effects of climate policy on companies' greenhouse gas emissions

Montoya Gómez, Ana Maria; Zimmer, Markus - 2017 - September 4, 2017

We study the effect of climate policy on companies' greenhouse gas emissions using emissions data for the headquarters and subsidiaries of the world's biggest manufacturing, energy, and utility companies. Our results suggest that financial incentives and legal requirements to audit energy use...

Will skyscrapers save the planet? : conference paper

Borck, Rainald - 2014 - Preliminary and incomplete

This paper studies the effectiveness of building height limits as a policy to limit greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It shows that building height limits lead to urban sprawl and higher emissions from commuting. On the other hand, aggregate housing consumption may decrease which reduces emissions...

Demand versus supply side climate policies with a carbon dioxide ceiling

Eichner, Thomas; Kollenbach, Gilbert; Schopf, Mark - 2018

Consider a dynamic model with two countries or coalitions that consume and trade fossil fuel. A non-abating country owns the entire fuel stock and is not concerned about climate change, represented by a ceiling on the carbon dioxide concentration. The government of the other country implements...

How the nature of inequality reduction matters for CO2 emissions

Angel, Tobias; Berthe, Alexandre; Costantini, Valeria; … - 2024

This study investigates the relationship between distinct types of inequality and CO2 emissions using panel data on 156 countries from 1995 to 2020. Using fixed effects panel and quantile regression techniques, we report estimates that indicate that pre-distribution (inequality reduction by...

Carbon dioxide removal in a global analytic climate economy

Meier, Felix; Rickels, Wilfried; Quaas, Martin F.; … - 2022

Net-zero climate policies foresee deployment of atmospheric carbon dioxide removal wit geo-logical, terrestrial, or marine carbon storage. While terrestrial and geological storage would be governed under the framework of national property rights, marine storage implies that carbon is transferred...

Accounting for CO2 emissions from international shipping : burden sharing under different UNFCCC allocation options and regime scenarios

Heitmann, Nadine; Khalilian, Setareh - 2010

CO2 emissions from international shipping, which are currently unregulated, are predicted to rise from 2.7% today to 18% in 2050. International bunker fuel emissions have been excluded from any commitment in the Kyoto Protocol; the UNFCCC conference in Copenhagen also failed to bring about clear...

Tale of two countries : emissions scenarios for China and India

Massetti, Emanuele - 2011

The aim of the paper is to present evidence that China and India are, and will remain, two very different actors in international negotiations to control global warming. We base our conclusions on historical data and on scenarios until 2050. The Business-as-Usual scenario (BaU) is compared to...

We also show under reasonable parameter assumptions that the risk for … investing in CO2 storage is dominated by the uncertain development of carbon prices, whereas the risk of carbon leakage has …

Climate policies in a fossil fuel producing country : demand versus supply side policies

Fæhn, Taran; Hagem, Cathrine; Lindholt, Lars; Mæland, … - 2014

In absence of joint global climate action, several jurisdictions unilaterally restrict their domestic demand for fossil fuels. Another policy option for fossil fuel producing countries, not much explored, is to reduce own supply of fossil fuels. We explore analytically and numerically how...
