Mirage on the horizon : geoengineering and carbon taxation without commitment

Acemoglu, Daron; Rafey, Will - 2018

We show that, in a model without commitment to future policies, geoengineering breakthroughs can have adverse environmental and welfare effects because they change the (equilibrium) carbon taxes. In our model, energy producers emit carbon, which creates a negative environmental externality, and...

Boosting sluggish climate policy : endogenous substitution, learning, and energy efficiency improvements

Bretschger, Lucas; Leuthard, Matthias; Miftakhova, Alena - 2024 - This version: March 12, 2024

There is widespread concern that climate policy is moving too slowly and that decarbonization of economic development is coming too late for effective climate protection. We analyze three different effects that emerge endogenously during decarbonization and amplify current policies: growing...

Would you like to supersize your car? The effect of environmental subsidies on emissions

Tsanko, Ilona - 2023

I study the impact of subsidies for Plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV) on carbon emissions. I show that subsidizing innovations without considering consumer behavior can harm the environment. I provide descriptive evidence on charging instances of PHEV and combine it with a structural model of...

Managing the spatial externalities of renewable energy deployment: Uniform vs. differentiated regulation

Geiger, Charlotte; Lehmann, Paul - 2021

With the expansion of renewable energy sources (RES) in countries all over the world, policy design to address the negative impacts of RES plants on their local and regional environment gains in importance. We analyse whether policy design should be spatially-differentiated or uniform when...

Subglobal climate agreements and energy-intensive activities : an evaluation of carbon leakage in the copper industry

Lanz, Bruno; Rutherford, Thomas F.; Tilton, John E. - 2013 - This version: January 2013

Subglobal climate policies induce changes in international competitiveness and favor a relocation of carbon-emitting activities to non-abating regions. In this paper, we evaluate the potential for CO2 abatement and the emissions `leakage' effect in the copper industry, a prominent...

Taxes Versus Cap-and-Trade in Climate Policy When Only Some Fuel Importers Abate

Strand, Jon - 2010

I study climate policy choices for a “policy bloc” of fuel-importers, when a “fringe” of other fuel importers have no climate policy, fuel exporters consume no fossil fuels, and importers produce no such fuels. The policy bloc and exporter blocs act strategically in fossil fuel markets....

Unemployment and Environmental Regulation in General Equilibrium

Hafstead, Marc A. C. - 2016

This paper analyzes the effects of environmental policy on employment (and unemployment) using a new general-equilibrium two-sector search model. We find that imposing a pollution tax causes substantial reductions in employment in the regulated (polluting) industry, but this is offset by...
