Power struggle : decarbonising the electricity sector : effects of climate policies, policy misalignments and political economy factors on decarbonisation

Röttgers, Dirk; Anderson, Brilé - 2018

This report investigates the effects of select climate policies, non-climate policies, as well as political economy factors on the decarbonisation of electricity in OECD countries from 2000 to 2015. Effects are analysed on the three phases of decarbonisation: (1) increasing the share of...

Knowledge Spillovers from Clean and Dirty Technologies

Dechezleprêtre, Antoine; Martin, Ralf; Mohnen, Myra - Centre for Economic Performance, LSE - 2014

How much should governments subsidize the development of new clean technologies? We use patent citation data to investigate the relative intensity of knowledge spillovers in clean and dirty technologies in two technological fields: energy production and transportation. We introduce a new...

The Impact of 'Clean Innovation' on Economic Growth: Evidence from the Transport and Energy Industries'

Martin, Ralf - Centre for Economic Performance, LSE - 2014

Policies on climate change that encourage 'clean innovation' while displacing 'dirty innovation' could have a positive impact on short-term economic growth while avoiding the potentially disastrous reduction in GDP that could result from climate change over the longer term.

Public Interventions and Private Climate Finance Flows: Empirical Evidence from Renewable Energy Financing

Haščič, Ivan; Rodríguez, Miguel Cárdenas; Jachnik, … - Environment Directorate, Organisation de Coopération … - 2015

This study uses a unique dataset of investment flows to analyse the role of two categories of public interventions (finance and policies) in mobilising flows of private climate finance worldwide and in the more specific context of flows to and in developing countries. The objectives are...

Optimal Climate Change Policies When Governments Cannot Commit

Ulph, Alistair; Ulph, David - School of Economics and Finance, University of St. Andrews - 2009

This paper examines the optimal design of climate change policies in the context where governments want to encourage the private sector to undertake significant immediate investment in developing cleaner technologies, but the carbon taxes and other environmental policies that could in principle...

North-South Convergence and the Allocation of CO2 Emissions

Llavador, Humberto; Roemer, John E.; Silvestre, Joaquim - Barcelona Graduate School of Economics (Barcelona GSE) - 2010

We postulate a two-region world, comprised of North (calibrated after the US) and South (calibrated after China). Our optimization results show the compatibility of the following three desiderata: (1) Global CO2 emissions follow a conservative path that leads to the stabilization of...

Optimal Climate Change Policies When Governments Cannot Commit

Ulph, Alistair; Ulph, David - School of Economics and Finance, University of St. Andrews - 2011

We analyse the optimal design of climate change policies when a government wants to encourage the private sector to undertake significant immediate investment in developing cleaner technologies, but the relevant carbon taxes (or other environmental policies) that would incentivise such...

Sustainability in the Presence of Global Warming: Theory and Empirics

Llavador, Humberto; Roemer, John E.; Silvestre, Joaquim - Human Development Report Office, United Nations … - 2011

Mankind must cooperate to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to prevent a catastrophic rise in global temperature, with its concomitant effects on sea level, rainfall, drought, storms, agricultural production, and human migration. What is the appropriate way of evaluating how the costs of...

Transboundary pollution and clean technologies

Benchekroun, Hassan; Ray Chaudhuri, Amrita - In: Resource and Energy Economics 36 (2014) 2, pp. 601-619

Within a non-cooperative transboundary pollution game, we investigate the impact of the adoption of a cleaner technology (i.e., a decrease in the emission to output ratio). We show that countries may respond by increasing their emissions resulting in an increase in the stock of pollution that...
