Carbon Pricing, Clean Electricity Standards, and Clean Electricity Subsidies on the Path to Zero Emissions

Borenstein, Severin; Kellogg, Ryan - 2022

electricity generation—pricing carbon, setting intensity standards, and subsidizing clean energy—and compare their market outcomes … under similar expansions of clean electricity generation. While pricing emissions gives strong incentives to first eliminate … emissions rates. We then estimate this correlation for US electricity generation and fuel prices as of 2019. The results …

Reaching a climate agreement : do we have to compensate for energy market effects of climate policy?

Peterson, Sonja; Weitzel, Matthias - 2014

Because of large economic and environmental asymmetries among world regions and the incentive to free ride, an international climate Regime with broad participation is hard to reach. Most of the so far proposed Regimes base on an allocation of emission rights that is to be perceived as fair....

Regulating stock externalities

Gerlagh, Reyer; Heijmans, Roweno - 2018

We develop a dynamic regulation game for a stock externality under asymmetric information and future market uncertainty. Within this framework, regulation is characterized as the implementation of a welfare-maximization program conditional on informational constraints. We identify the most...

The effect of a carbon tax on per capita carbon dioxide emissions: evidence from Finland

Elbaum, Jean-David - 2021 - This version: August 2021

This paper is a quasi-replication of Andersson (2019). I use the synthetic control method to estimate the effect of a carbon tax starting at $1.41 per tonne of CO2 and increased through successive reforms to $20 by 2011. The results show that, one year after the intervention, the tax reduced CO2...

Climate risks and carbon prices : revising the social cost of carbon

Ackerman, Frank; Stanton, Elizabeth A. - 2012

The social cost of carbon - or marginal damage caused by an additional ton of carbon dioxide emissions - has been estimated by a U.S. government working group at $21/tCO2 in 2010. That calculation, however, omits many of the biggest risks associated with climate change, and downplays the impact...
