The role of storage in a competitive electricity market and the effects of climate change

Evans, Lewis; Guthrie, Graeme; Lu, Andrea - In: Energy Economics 36 (2013) C, pp. 405-418

This paper uses a new model of a competitive electricity market to investigate the role of storage in markets dominated …

How sensitive is Nordhaus to Weitzman? Climate policy in DICE with an alternative damage function

Wouter Botzen, W.J.; den Bergh, Jeroen C.J.M. van - In: Economics Letters 117 (2012) 1, pp. 372-374

The damage function in the famous climate-economy model DICE has received much criticism. Weitzman (2010) has proposed an alternative approach that gives more serious attention to climate change impacts for larger temperature increases. We calculate optimal climate policy with DICE using this...

International emissions trading: Good or bad?

Holtsmark, Bjart; Sommervoll, Dag Einar - In: Economics Letters 117 (2012) 1, pp. 362-364

Using a non-cooperative climate policy game applied in the literature, we find that an agreement with international emissions trading leads to increased emissions and reduced efficiency.

Evaluating Voluntary Climate Programs in the United States

Pizer, William A.; Morgenstern, Richard; Shih, Jhih-Shyang - 2010

applied to plant-level Census data. Overall, we find quite modest effects: the reductions in fuel and electricity expenditures … participation in Climate Wise led to a slight (3–5 percent) increase in electricity costs that vanished after two years. Stronger … evidence suggests that participation in 1605(b) led to a slight (4–8 percent) decrease in electricity costs that persisted for …

Allocating the CO2 Emissions of an Oil Refinery with Aumann-Shapley Prices : A Reply

Pierru, Axel - 2014

In this reply, I oppose and further debate some of the points raised in Mr. Tehrani's comment (2010). In addition, I show that, when dealing with short-run linear-programming models with not-adjusted-to-demand capacities, Aumann-Shapley prices can be considered as an attempt to recreate long-run...

Modelling and Allocation of CO2 Emissions in a Multiproduct Industry : The Case of Oil Refining

Babusiaux, Denis; Pierru, Axel - 2014

As oil refining is a multiproduct industrial activity, there are innumerable ways to allocate a refinery’s CO2 emissions among the various refined products. The linear-programming models used to manage refineries may serve to compute the marginal contribution of each finished product to the...

Allocating the CO2 Emissions of an Oil Refinery with Aumann-Shapley Prices

Pierru, Axel - 2013

Linear programming is widely used by multiproduct oil-refining firms which minimize a refinery’s variable cost under a set of constraints. In addition to operating costs, this variable cost can include the cost associated with the refinery’s CO2 emissions. We suggest a quite general approach...

Asymmetric Dynamics of Environmental Bearings of Trade and Energy Consumption in Pakistan

Yasin, Iftikhar - 2020

This study endeavors to investigate asymmetric bearing of energy use, composition effect, foreign trade, and economic prosperity, on the carbon dioxide emanation of Pakistan from 1970 to 2015. This study adopts nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) model methodology to cointegration...

The impact of energy on climate and economic stability : forecast for Serbia

Backović, Nemanja; Jakšić, Miomir; Ilić, Bojan - In: Journal of central banking theory and practice 13 (2024) 1, pp. 199-222

In the conditions of modern business environment of energy companies, studies of their impact on environmental protection are becoming increasingly important. The growing concern at the macro level of the resulting climate change due to energy production is justified. The ecological component in...

The link between carbon emissions, agricultural output and industrial output: evidence from South Africa

Sibanda, Mabutho; Ndlela, Hlengiwe - In: Journal of business economics and management 21 (2020) 2, pp. 301-316

This study seeks to establish the relationship between carbon emissions, agricultural output and industrial output in South Africa. It uses data from 1960 to 2017 based on an annual frequency, giving a total of 58 annual observations. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag technique is employed to...
