Effects of carbon pricing and other climate policies on CO2 emissions

Kohlscheen, Emanuel; Moessner, Richhild; Takáts, Előd - 2021

We provide ex-post empirical analysis of the effects of climate policies on carbon dioxide emissions at the aggregate national level. Our results are based on a comprehensive database of 121 countries. As climate policies we examine carbon taxes and emissions trading systems (ETS), as well as...

Unilateral CO2 reduction policy with more than one carbon energy source

Daubanes, Julien Xavier; Henriet, Fanny; Schubert, Katheline - 2020

We examine an open economy's strategy to reduce its carbon emissions by replacing its consumption of coal - very carbon intensive - with gas - less so. Unlike the standard theoretical approach to carbon leakage, we show that unilateral CO2 reduction policies generate a higher leakage rate in the...

More gas, less coal, and less CO2? : unilateral CO2 reduction policy with more than one carbon energy source

Daubanes, Julien X.; Henriet, Fanny; Schubert, Katheline - 2017

We examine an open economy's strategy to reduce its carbon emissions by replacing its consumption of coal - very carbon intensive - with gas - less so. Unlike the standard analysis of carbon leakage, unilateral carbon-reduction policies with more than one carbon energy source may turn...

Climate Policy and Trade in Polluting Technologies

Ferguson, Shon M.; Heijmans, Roweno - 2023

This study estimates the impact of carbon pricing on international trade in equipment used in the combustion of fossil fuels during the period 1995--2021. Using detailed data on bilateral trade combined with data on domestic carbon prices, we find that carbon pricing policies are associated with...
