Green innovation is essential for climate change mitigation, but not all innovative projects deliver equal social value …. We consider innovator heterogeneity in a model where the policy maker cannot observe innovation quality and directly … subsidize the socially most valuable green innovations. We find that carbon pricing works as an innovation screening device …

Pricing pollution

Mideksa, Torben K. - 2020

I examine a policy-making game among countries that must choose both a policy instrument (e.g., a tax or a quota) and its intensity (i.e., the tax rate or the quota level) to price pollution. When countries price pollution non-cooperatively, they not only set the intensity inefficiently, they...

Hoel, Michael - 2013

The focus of the green paradox literature has been either on demand-side climate policies or on effects of technological changes. The present paper addresses the question of whether there also might be some kind of green paradox related to supply-side policies, i.e. policies that per-manently...

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...
