International cooperation on climate-friendly technologies
Golombek, Rolf; Hoel, Michael - 2009
We examine international cooperation on technological development as a supplement to, or an alternative to, international cooperation on emission reductions. R&D should be increased beyond the non-cooperative level if (i) the technology level in one country is positively affected by R&D in other...

Is there a green paradox?
Hoel, Michael - 2010
A sufficiently rapidly rising carbon tax may increase near-term emissions compared with the case of no carbon tax. Even so, such a carbon tax path may reduce total costs related to climate change, since the tax may reduce total carbon extraction. A government cannot commit to a specific carbon...

Addressing climate change with a comprehensive US cap-and-trade system
Stavins, Robert N. - 2008
There is growing impetus for a domestic U.S. climate policy that can provide meaningful reductions in emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases. I describe and analyze an up- stream, economy-wide CO2 cap-and-trade system which implements a gradual trajectory of emissions reductions (with...

A meaningful US cap-and-trade system to address climate change
Stavins, Robert N. - 2008
There is growing impetus for a domestic U.S. climate policy that can provide meaningful reductions in emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases. In this article, I propose and analyze a scientifically sound, economically rational, and politically feasible approach for the United States to...

Climate effects of carbon taxes, taking into account possible other future climate measures
Habermacher, Florian; Kirchgässner, Gebhard - 2011
The increase of fuel extraction costs as well as of temperature will make it likely that in the medium-term future technological or political measures against global warming may be implemented. In assessments of a current climate policy the possibility of medium-term future developments like...

Supply side climate policy and the green paradox
Hoel, Michael - 2013
The focus of the green paradox literature has been either on demand-side climate policies or on effects of … supply-side policies, i.e. policies that permanently remove some of the carbon resources. The conclusion is that there will … no green paradox if supply-side climate policies are aimed at high-cost carbon reserves. If instead low-cost reserves are …

CCS : failing to pass decision gates
Emhjellen, Magne; Osmundsen, Petter - 2013
Socio-economic criteria for climate projects have been used in analysing the value of the climate benefit of a reduction in CO2. These reports are optimistic, yet CCS demonstration plants are not implemented as expected. Little attention has been devoted to profitability assessments based on...

The green paradox and learning-by-doing in the renewable energy sector
Nachtigall, Daniel; Rübbelke, Dirk T. G. - 2014
The green paradox conveys the idea that climate policies may have unintended side effects when taking into account the …
