A Comprehensive Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Strategy for the Netherlands
Batini, Nicoletta; Black, Simon; Luca, Oana; Parry, Ian - 2022
The Netherlands has ambitious greenhouse gas emission reduction targets for the future - to cut them by 49 percent below 1990 levels by 2030 and 95 percent by 2050. These targets and the likely new EU-wide targets under the recent EU Green Deal entail a rapid acceleration in decarbonization....

How to boost countries' climate ambitions : turning gains from emissions trading into gains for climate
Böhringer, Christoph; Helm, Carsten; Schürer, Laura - 2023
The Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement fall short of the abatement needed to reach the 2°C target. Emissions trading could be a "costless" means to reduce the ambition gap if countries used their gains from trade for additional abatement. However, this requires...

The Economics of Carbon Leakage Mitigation Policies
Ambec, Stefan; Esposito, Federico; Pacelli, Antonia - 2023
Carbon leakage occurs when carbon-priced low-emission domestic products are replaced with high-emissions foreign products. In a trade model with endogenous emissions abatement, we investigate the impact of three policies aimed at mitigating carbon leakage: free emission allowances, Carbon Border...

China’s carbon market : development, evaluation, coordination of local and national carbon markets, and common prosperity
Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2022
To achieve the commitments to both carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, China should focus on those policies of significant impact on emissions reduction at the lowest cost. Launching the national carbon market with the power generation sector is a good start point in this direction. Since its...

Intertemporal Regulatory Tasks and Responsibilities for Greenhouse Gas Reductions
Deason, Jeff; Friedman, Lee S. - 2013
Jurisdictions are in the process of establishing regulatory systems to control greenhouse gas emissions. Short-term and sometimes long-term emissions reduction goals are established, as California does for 2020 and 2050, but little attention has yet been focused on annual emissions targets for...

Multinational corporations and the EU emissions trading system : asset erosion and creeping deindustrialization?
Moore, Nils aus dem; Grosskurth, Philipp; Themann, Michael - 2017
This study investigates the causal effect of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) on firms' holdings of fixed assets as an early indicator of industrial relocation, exploiting installation level inclusion criteria of the regulation. To single out companies with particularly low relocation...

Climate policies and nationally determined contributions : reconciling the needed ambition with the political economy
Vogt-Schilb, Adrien; Hallegatte, Stéphane - 2017
Countries have pledged to stabilize global warming at a 1.5 to 2°C increase. Either target requires reaching net zero emissions before the end of the century, which implies a major transformation of the economic system. This paper reviews the literature on how policymakers can design climate...
