Decarbonization and Electrification in the Long Run
Holland, Stephen P.; Mansur, Erin; Yates, Andrew J. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022
Decarbonization and electrification will require a transformed electricity grid. Our long-run model of entry and exit … of generation and storage capacity captures crucial aspects of the electricity industry such as time-varying demand for … electricity, intermittency of renewables, and intertemporal optimization of storage. We derive several theoretical possibilities …

C&C - contraction and convergence of carbon emissions : the economic implications of permit trading
Böhringer, Christoph; Welsch, Heinz - 1999
In the context of climate protection policy it has been suggested that global CO2 emissions should be reduced significantly (contraction) and that per capita emissions should gradually be equalized across countries (convergence). This paper uses a dynamic multi-region computable general...

Contraction of Global Carbon Emissions : How Acceptable are Alternative Emission Entitlement Schemes?
Böhringer, Christoph; Welsch, Heinz - 2013
The allocation of emission entitlements across countries is the single most controversial issue in international climate policy. Extreme positions within the policy debate range from entitlements based on current emission patterns (CEP) to equal-per-capita (EPC) allocations. Convergence (COV)...

Assessing the implications of a global net-zero transition for developing Asia : insights from integrated assessment modeling
Emmerling, Johannes; Reis, Lara Aleluia; Drouet, Laurent; … - 2023
This paper uses a global integrated assessment model to assess how developing Asia, the world's fastest-growing source of carbon emissions, could transition to low-carbon growth. It finds that national net-zero pledges do not have a high chance of keeping peak warming below 2°C. Under an...
