Carbon Policy and the Emissions Implications of Electric Vehicles
Gillingham, Kenneth; Ovaere, Marten; Weber, Stephanie - 2021
Will a carbon tax improve the welfare consequences of policies to promote electric vehicles? This paper examines when a complementarity could exist between carbon pricing and high electric vehicle adoption. We analyze electricity generation in recent years to show that in several regions, carbon...

Carbon policy and the emissions implications of electric vehicles
Gillingham, Kenneth; Ovaere, Marten; Weber, Stephanie - 2021
Creativity is often highly concentrated in time and space, and across different domains. What explains the formation and decay of clusters of creativity? We match data on notable individuals born in Europe between the XIth and the XIXth century with historical city data. The production and...

Endogenous emission caps always induce a green paradox
Gerlagh, Reyer; Heijmans, Roweno; Rosendahl, Knut Einar - 2019
For any emission trading system (ETS) with quantity-based endogenous supply of allowances, there exists a negative demand shock, e.g. induced by abatement policy, that increases aggregate supply and thus cumulative emissions. We prove this green paradox for a general model and then apply it to...

Greiner, Alfred - 2024
In this paper we show that both climate models and economic models studying the effects of climate change are characterized by high uncertainty. Hence, far reaching policy implications such as the net zero goal lack a definite scientific foundation. Neverthelss, it cannot be excluded that the...
