The purpose of this paper is to introduce a modification of a standard four input production process where energy is … used in an inefficient way due to partly unnecessary waste of energy. In this production process, R&D investment is an … additional input in order to improve energy efficiency. It closes the gap between energy purchased and energy used effectively …

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...

We compare a range of energy efficiency policies in a durable good market subject to both energy-use externalities and …-end good. The rates should always be decreasing in energy efficiency. With per-quality subsidies, there is no such interference … product line if consumers are not too dissimilar, otherwise it should only target the low-end good. An energy tax should be …

In this paper we investigate the introduction of an export tax on steam coal levied by an individual country (Australia), or a group of major exporting countries. The policy motivation would be twofold: generating tax revenues against the background of improved terms-of-trade, while CO2...

We derive optimal subsidization of renewable energies in electricity markets. The analysis takes into account that capacity investment must be chosen under uncertainty about demand conditions and capacity availability, and that capacity as well as electricity generation may be sources of...

In this article, we look at the combination of several market-based climate and energy policies and compare them with … control policy is imperfect designed or implemented, its performance can be improved by an energy (output) tax/subsidy scheme …, where the subsidy is given only to renewable generators or for energy efficiency improvements. This combination can bring …
