Distributional effects of carbon pricing by transport fuel taxation
Jacobs, Leif; Quack, Lara; Mechtel, Mario - 2021
We introduce a new microsimulation model built on household transport data to study the distributional effects of carbon-based fuel taxation of private road transport in Germany. Our data includes annual mileage at the car-level, the distinction between fuel types, as well as car-specific fuel...

Carbon Pricing, Clean Electricity Standards, and Clean Electricity Subsidies on the Path to Zero Emissions
Borenstein, Severin; Kellogg, Ryan - 2022
We categorize the primary incentive-based mechanisms under consideration for addressing greenhouse gas emissions from electricity generation—pricing carbon, setting intensity standards, and subsidizing clean energy—and compare their market outcomes under similar expansions of clean...

On the effects of COVID-19 safer-at-home policies on social distancing, car crashes and pollution
Brodeur, Abel; Cook, Nikolai; Wright, Taylor - 2020
distancing, travel and pollution is in its infancy. We pair a differences-in-differences framework and synthetic control methods … with rich cellular tracking and high frequency air pollution data. We find that state and U.S. county safer … range from $7 billion to $24 billion while the benefits from reduced pollution could range from $650 million to $13 …

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...
