Lost in the green transition? Measurement and stylized facts
Causa, Orsetta - 2024
Greening the economy entails jobs contracting in “high-polluting” economic activities and expanding in environment-friendly activities. Minimizing the corresponding transition costs is crucial to accelerate decarbonisation and reduce displacement costs for affected workers. Using...

The impact of energy taxes on the affordability of domestic energy
Flues, Florens; Van Dender, Kurt - 2017
Energy affordability can be defined as a household’s ability to pay for necessary levels of energy use within normal spending patterns. This paper uses three indicators to measure energy affordability risk in 20 OECD countries. Energy affordability risk differs widely between countries. The...

Unequal Uptake : Assessing Distributional Disparities in the Residential Solar Market
Dorsey, Jackson; Wolfson, Derek C. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024
We examine technology adoption and consumer welfare disparities across demographic groups using data from an online solar photovoltaic (PV) marketplace. Low-income households are 25% less likely to purchase solar through the platform and obtain 53% lower expected consumer surplus than...

Understanding the distributional impacts of increases in fuel prices on poverty and inequality in Paraguay
Canavire-Bacarreza, Gustavo; Gayoso de Ervin, Lyliana E.; … - 2023
The recent global increases in fuel prices threaten the gains in poverty reduction that countries like Paraguay have achieved over the past few decades. Therefore, policy makers must understand the potential distributional impacts of increases in fuel prices to evaluate the implementation of...

The effect of electricity taxation on the German manufacturing sector : a regression discontinuity approach
Flues, Florens; Lutz, Benjamin Johannes - 2015
Germany taxes electricity use since 1999. The government granted reduced rates to energy intensive firms in the industrial sector for addressing potentially adverse effects on firms' competitiveness. Firms that use more electricity than certain thresholds established by legislation, pay reduced...

Do electricity prices matter? : plant-level evidence from German manufacturing
Gerster, Andreas - 2017
In many countries, the transition process towards a low-carbon economy has been associated with increasing electricity prices. Microeconometric evaluations of the causal impact of electricity price changes on plant-level outcomes are rare, though. By exploiting local randomization induced by...

Estimating the CO2 emission and revenue effects of carbon pricing : New evidence from a large cross-country dataset
D’Arcangelo, Filippo Maria - 2022
This paper estimates the long-run elasticity of emissions and carbon-related government revenues to carbon pricing. It is based on the OECD Effective Carbon Rates database, the most comprehensive cross-country longitudinal database on direct and indirect carbon pricing. Econometric estimates...

Breaks in the mean of inflation : how they happen and what to do with them
Corvoisier, Sandrine (contributor);  … - 2005
In most OECD countries, we cannot reject up to three breaks in the mean of inflation: one break in the late 1960's … phenomena. We also show that ignoring breaks in the mean of inflation clearly lead to overrate inflation persistence in standard … bi-variate models of inflation. The response of inflation to shocks in these models is markedly faster with breaks than …
