Competitive trilateral lobbying for and against subsidizing green energy
Pethig, Rüdiger - 2011
A small open economy operates a carbon emission trading scheme and subsidizes green energy. Taking cap-and-trade as given, we seek to explain the subsidy as the outcome of a trilateral tug of war between the "green" energy industry, the "black" energy industry and consumers. With parametric...

Substituting clean for dirty energy : a bottom-up analysis
Stöckl, Fabian; Zerrahn, Alexander - 2020
We fit CES and VES production functions to data from a numerical bottom-up optimization model of electricity supply with clean and dirty inputs. This approach allows for studying high shares of clean energy not observable today and for isolating mechanisms that impact the elasticity of...
