Do Renewable Energy Policies Reduce Carbon Emissions? On Caps and Inter-Industry Leakage

Jarke-Neuert, Johannes - 2017

In a parsimonious two-sector general equilibrium model, we challenge the widely-held tenet that within a cap-and-trade system renewable energy policies have no effect on carbon emissions. If the cap does not capture all sectors, we demonstrate that variations of a renewable energy subsidy change...

Renewable Energy Policies Change Carbon Emissions Even Under Emissions Trading

Jarke-Neuert, Johannes - 2019

In this chapter we review research that rejects the widely held tenet that renewable energy promotion policies have no effect on carbon emissions if the electricity sector is subject to a cap-and-trade scheme. Specifically, it shows that such policies generally do have a net impact on carbon...

Reconsidering climate mitigation policy in the UK

Arregui, Nicolas; Parry, Ian W. H. - 2021

The UK has pledged to cut greenhouse gases 68 percent below 1990 levels by 2030, to be emissions neutral by 2050, and to phase out internal combustion engine vehicles by 2030. Much progress has been made, but fully achieving these ambitious objectives with the current policy framework will be...

The use of revenues from carbon pricing

Marten, Melanie; Van Dender, Kurt - 2019

The paper collects comprehensive and detailed data on what 40 OECD and G20 economies do with the revenues from carbon taxes, emissions trading systems, and excise taxes on energy use. It notes that constraints – which can take the form of political commitments or legal earmarks – on revenue...
