Economic and environmental impacts of a carbon adder in New York
Akɪn-Olçum, Gökçe; Böhringer, Christoph; … - 2019
New York is considering additional emission regulation on top of its obligations under the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) to achieve its State Energy Plan targets. The proposed measure is a so-called "carbon adder" on CO2 emissions from the power sector which is set as the difference...

Intensity-based rebating of emission pricing revenues
Böhringer, Christoph; Fischer, Carolyn; Rivers, Nicholas - 2022 - Current Draft: May 2022
Carbon pricing policies worldwide are increasingly coupled with direct or indirect subsidies where emissions pricing revenues are rebated to the regulated entities. This paper analyzes the incentives created by two novel forms of rebating that reward additional emission intensity reductions: one...

Vertical fiscal externalities and the environment
Böhringer, Christoph; Rivers, Nicholas; Yonezawa, Hidemichi - 2014
We show that imposition of a state-level environmental tax in a federation crowds out preexisting federal taxes. We explain how this vertical fiscal externality can lead unilateral statelevel environmental policy to generate a welfare gain in the implementing state, at the expense of other...

Economic and environmental impacts of raising revenues for climate finance from public sources
Böhringer, Christoph; Schneider, Jan; Springmann, Marco - 2017
In response to anthropogenic climate change, developed countries have committed themselves to raise 100 billion USD a year from 2020 onwards for addressing the needs of developing countries. In this paper, we investigate the economic and CO2 emission impacts of four alternative options for...

US climate policy : a critical assessment of intensity standards
Böhringer, Christoph; Garcia-Muros, Xaquín; … - 2015
Intensity standards have gained substantial momentum as a regulatory instrument in US climate policy. Based on numerical simulations with a large-scale computable general equilibrium model we show that intensity standards may rather increase than decrease counterproductive carbon leakage....

The efficiency cost of protective measures in climate policy
Böhringer, Christoph; Garcia-Muros, Xaquin; Cazcarro, … - 2016
Despite recent achievements towards a global climate agreement, climate action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions remains quite heterogeneous across countries. Energy-intensive and trade-exposed (EITE) industries in industrialized countries are particularly concerned on stringent domestic...

Internationaler Klimaschutz - nicht mehr als symbolische Politik?
Böhringer, Christoph; Vogt, Carla - 2001
Klimaschutz stellt aus Sicht der ökonomischen Theorie ein rein öffentliches Gut dar. Internationale Kooperation zum Zweck der Milderung oder Verhinderung der globalen Erwärmung ist daher mit den bekannten fatalen Anreizproblemen behaftet: Auf der Basis freiwilliger, dezentraler Entscheidungen...
