Opimal Unilateral Climate Policy with Carbon Leakage at the Extensive and the Intensive Margin

Kjær Kruse-Andersen, Peter; Birch Sørensen, Peter - 2021

We analyse the optimal design of unilateral climate policy in an open economy where the government is committed to a target for reduction of domestic CO2 emissions but where it is also concerned about carbon leakage. We highlight the importance of distinguishing between leakage at the extensive...

Optimal energy taxes and subsidies under a cost-effective unilateral climate policy : addressing carbon leakage

Kruse-Andersen, Peter Kjær; Sørensen, Peter Birch - 2019

We analyze how a country pursuing a unilateral climate policy may contribute to a reduction in global CO2 emissions in a cost-effective way. To do so its system of energy taxes and subsidies must account for leakage of emissions from the domestic to the foreign economy. We focus on leakage...

Global Warming : Correcting the Data

Michaels, Patrick - 2008

Temperature records compiled by the International Panel on Climate Change are biased by non-climatic factors that are largely socioeconomic in origin. The result is that as much as 50 percent of the land-surface warming that has been detected in recent decades may not be the product of global...

Intensity-based rebating of emissions pricing revenues

Böhringer, Christoph; Fischer, Carolyn; Rivers, Nicholas - 2021

Carbon pricing policies worldwide are increasingly coupled with direct or indirect subsidies for emission-intensive and trade-exposed firms. We analyze the incentives created by novel forms of emissions intensity-based rebating (IBR) and contrast them with more common approaches like...

Economic effects of the EU’s ‘Fit for 55’ climate mitigation policies: A computable general equilibrium analysis

Chateau, Jean - 2023

This study analyses the economic effects of the EU's ‘Fit for 55’ climate mitigation policies using the OECD ENV-Linkage model, a dynamic, global Computable General Equilibrium model. The model projects macroeconomic, sectoral, energy and emission trends for the EU, and for the five largest...

The effects of environmental taxes and quotas on the optimal timing of emission reductions under Choquet-Brownian uncertainty

Agliardi, Elettra; Sereno, Luigi - 2011

The effects of two environmental policy options for the reduction of pollution emissions, i.e. taxes and non-tradable quotas, are analyzed. In contrast to the prior literature this work endogenously takes into account the level of emissions before and after the adoption of the new environmental...
