Carbon tax scenarios and their effects on the Irish energy sector

Di Cosmo, Valeria; Hyland, Marie - 2011

In this paper we use annual time series data from 1960 to 2008 to estimate the long run price and income elasticities underlying energy demand in Ireland. The Irish economy is divided into five sectors: residential, industrial, commercial, agricultural and transport, and separate energy demand...

Decomposition of CO2 Emissions over 1980-2003 in Turkey

LISE, Wietze - 2005

There is a multi-dimensional need for studying the energy situation in Turkey and to ob-tain insight into the development of CO2 emissions. On the one hand, recent projections of the OECD show that Turkey has a yearly GDP growth potential of over 7%. On the other hand, recent projections of UNDP...

Kyoto's Climate Game and How to Fix it

Cramton, Peter; Stoft, Steven - 2014

The Kyoto summit initiated an international game of cap and trade. Unlike a national policy, the essence of this game is the self-selection of national emission targets. This differs from the standard global public-goods game because targets are met in the context of a global carbon market. This...
