Against the backdrop of increasingly serious greenhouse effect and China's high carbon dioxide emissions, President Xi has proposed double carbon target. In order to achieve the double carbon target, the development of renewable energy is a matter of urgency, and the carbon trading market is an...

This paper exploits the exogeneity of weather conditions to evaluate renewable energy (RE) subsidy programs in Germany and Spain in terms of their costs for reducing carbon dioxide emissions. We find that both the aggregate costs and the distribution of costs between energy producers and...
