The impacts of the EU ETS on efficiency : an empirical analyses for German manufacturing firms
Löschel, Andreas; Lutz, Benjamin Johannes; Managi, Shunsuke - 2016
We investigate the effect of the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) on the economic performance of manufacturing firms in Germany. Our difference-in-differences framework relies on several parametric conditioning strategies and nearest neighbor matching. As a measure of economic...

Impacts of the Clean Air Act on the power sector from 1938-1994: anticipation and adaptation
Clay, Karen; Jha, Akshaya; Lewis, Joshua; Severnini, … - 2021
The passage of landmark government regulation is often the culmination of evolving social pressure and incremental policy change. During this process, firms may preemptively adjust behavior in anticipation of impending regulation, making it difficult to quantify the overall economic impact of...

How effective was the UK carbon tax? : a machine learning approach to policy evaluation
Abrell, Jan; Kosch, Miriam; Rausch, Sebastian - 2019
Carbon taxes are commonly seen as a rational policy response to climate change, but little is known about their performance from an ex-post perspective. This paper analyzes the emissions and cost impacts of the UK CPS, a carbon tax levied on all fossil-fired power plants. To overcome the problem...

The U.S. Manufacturing Sector's Response to Higher Electricity Prices : Evidence from State-Level Renewable Portfolio Standards
Wolverton, Ann; Shadbegian, Ronald John; Gray, Wayne B. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022
While several papers examine the effects of renewable portfolio standards (RPS) on electricity prices, they mainly rely on state-level data and there has been little research on how RPS policies affect manufacturing activity via their effect on electricity prices. Using plant-level data for the...
