We study the incidence of carbon-reduction and green-energy promotion policies in a general equilibrium small open economy that depends on imports of fossil fuels. The focus is on mixed policies that are either price based (emissions taxes and producer price subsidies for green energy) or...

We study the incidence of carbon-reduction and green-energy promotion policies in an open fossil-fuel importing general equilibrium economy. The focus is on mixed price-based or quantity-based policies. Instruments directed toward promoting green energy are shown to reduce also carbon emissions...

This paper analyses the consequences of tightening environmental policy for economic growth. To find out how the new balanced growth path is reached in the long run, we simulate numerically for the short and medium term the transition path of a change in environmental policy within an endogenous...
