Sequencing carbon dioxide removal into the EU ETS

Sultani, Darius; Osorio, Sébastian; Günther, Claudia; … - 2024 - This version: June 2024

Novel Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) technologies have seen a first wave of deployment, driven by investments through voluntary carbon markets and by specific support policies. To sustain the momentum, a credible long-term policy path is urgently needed to lead removal technologies through the...

Coase and cap-and-trade : evidence on the independence property from the European carbon market

Zaklan, Aleksandar - 2021 - Updated version of DP 1850

This paper tests the independence property under the Coase Theorem in a large multinational cap-and-trade scheme for greenhouse gas emissions, the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). I analyze whether emissions of power producers regulated under the EU ETS are independent from allowance...

Distributional Effects of Carbon Taxes : The Case of Mexico

Gonzalez, Fidel - 2014

robustness of the numerical findings for Mexico, I calibrate the model with data for a developed country, specifically the U.S.A …. Despite differences in the magnitude of the changes in some variables, the general findings mentioned above also hold for U.S.A …. data. These results suggest that, as found for the U.S.A. in recent studies, carbon taxes are not necessarily regressive …

Carbon tax burdens on low-income households : a reason for delaying climate policy

Parry, Ian W. H. - 2015

This paper discusses techniques for measuring the incidence of carbon taxes across different household income groups and provides some cross-country estimates of these effects for selected advanced countries. The general message of this paper is that distributional concerns should not...

The Distributional Impact of a Carbon Tax in Asia and the Pacific

Alonso, Cristian; Kilpatrick, Joey - 2022

While a carbon tax is widely acknowledged as an efficient policy to mitigate climate change, adoption has lagged. Part of the challenge resides in the distributional implications of a carbon tax and a belief that it tends to be regressive. Even when not regressive, poor households could be hurt...

Taxing and trading carbon emissions in the EU : distributional comparisons of mixed policies

Eichner, Thomas; Pethig, Rüdiger - 2009

We model EU-type carbon emissions control in a group of countries to explore the distributional incidence of mixed policies that consist of an emissions trading scheme (ETS) and of emissions taxes overlapping with the ETS. Such policies impact on national welfares through both the overlapping...

Carbon pricing in the EU : evaluation of different EU ETS reform options

Brink, Corjan; Vollebergh, Herman R. J.; Van der Werf, Edwin - 2015 - This version: November 24, 2015

This paper studies various options to support allowance prices in the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS), such as adjusting the cap, an auction reserve price, and fixed and variable carbon taxes in addition to EU ETS. We use a dynamic computable general equilibrium model that explicitly allows...

The political economy of negotiating international carbon markets

Arvaniti, Maria; Habla, Wolfgang - 2020

International carbon markets are frequently propagated as an efficient instrument for reducing CO2 emissions. We argue that such markets, despite their desirable efficiency properties, might not be in the best interest of governments who are guided by strategic considerations in negotiations. We...

Endogenous emission caps always induce a green paradox

Gerlagh, Reyer; Heijmans, Roweno; Rosendahl, Knut Einar - 2019

For any emission trading system (ETS) with quantity-based endogenous supply of allowances, there exists a negative demand shock, e.g. induced by abatement policy, that increases aggregate supply and thus cumulative emissions. We prove this green paradox for a general model and then apply it to...
