Competition for Land in the Global Bioeconomy
Hertel, Thomas W. - 2015
The global land use implications of biofuel expansion have received considerable attention in the literature over the past decade. Model-based estimates of the emissions from cropland expansion have been used to assess the environmental impacts of biofuel policies. And integrated assessment...

Biofuels subsidies and the green paradox
Grafton, R. Quentin; Kompas, Tom; Long, Ngo Van - 2010
This paper develops sufficient conditions under which the Weak Green Paradox may (and may not) hold in terms of subsidies for biofuel production such that the supply-side responses by fossil fuel producers may more than offset the substitution to biofuels. Analytical results are derived and...

The long run impact of biofuels on food prices
Chakravorty, Ujjayant; Hubert, Marie-Hélène; Moreaux, … - 2012
More than 40% of US grain is now used to produce biofuels, which are used as substitutes for gasoline in transportation. Biofuels have been blamed universally for recent increases in world food prices. Many studies have shown that these energy mandates in the US and EU may have a large (30-60%)...

Does a renewable fuel standard for biofuels reduce climate costs?
Greaker, Mads; Hoel, Michael; Rosendahl, Knut Einar - 2012
Recent contributions have questioned whether biofuels policies actually lead to emissions reductions, and thus lower climate costs. In this paper we make two contributions to the literature. First, we study the market effects of a renewable fuel standard. Opposed to most previous studies we...

The Welfare Economics of an Excise-Tax Exemption for Biofuels and the Interaction Effects with Farm Subsidies
de Gorter, Harry - 2015
A general theory is developed to analyze the efficiency and income distribution effects of a biofuel consumer tax exemption and the interaction effects with a price contingent farm subsidy. Using U.S. policy as an example, ethanol prices rise above the gasoline price by the amount of the tax...
