We study the effectiveness of climate change policy in a model with multiple non-renewable resources that differ in their carbon content. We find that, when allowing some time between announcement and implementation of a cap on carbon dioxide emissions, emissions from non-renewable energy...

We estimate the effect of the staggered adoption of carbon pricing policies across the globe between 1990 and 2017 on per capita CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion. Applying recent econometric techniques robust to treatment effect heterogeneity, we find reductions of 8 to 12 percent on...

This paper uses agency theory to analyse the incentives that a donor (principal) and recipient (agent) face as actors in an accountability regime for the financing of international climate change projects in developing countries. We address the following question: What accountability measures...
