Linking Reduced Deforestation and a Global Carbon Market: Impacts on Costs, Financial Flows, and Technological Innovation
Bosetti, Valentina; Lubowski, Ruben; Golub, Alexander; … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2009
Discussions over tropical deforestation are currently at the forefront of climate change policy negotiations at national, regional, and international levels. This paper analyzes the effects of linking Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) to a global market for...

Environmental Regulation and Competitiveness: Empirical Evidence on the Porter Hypothesis from European Manufacturing Sectors
Rubashkina, Yana; Galeotti, Marzio; Verdolini, Elena - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2014
environmental regulation on innovation and on productivity generally in separate analyses and mostly focusing on the USA. The few … existing studies focusing on Europe investigate the effect of environmental regulation either on green innovation or on … performance indicators such as exports. We instead look at overall innovation and productivity impact that are the most relevant …

The World Bank’s Prototype Carbon Fund and China
Zhang, ZhongXiang - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2004
As the first global carbon fund, the World Bank’s Prototype Carbon Fund (PCF) aims to catalyze the market for project-based greenhouse gas emission reductions while promoting sustainable development and offering a learning-by-doing opportunity to its stakeholders. Since the inception in 2000,...

Assessing the Risk of Oil Spills in the Mediterranean: the Case of the Route from the Black Sea to Italy
Bigano, Andrea; Sheehan, Paul - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2006
Recent major spills on European coasts have highlighted the primary policy relevance for the EU of oil spills. This paper assesses the risks related to carrying oil to the EU along the route from the Russian Black Sea coast to Sicily, Italy (one of the most congested and strategically relevant...

Optimal Soil Management and Environmental Policy
Lafforgue, Gilles; Oueslati, Walid - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2005
This paper studies the effects of environmental policy on the farmer’s soil optimal management. We consider a dynamic economic model of soil erosion where the intensity use of inputs allows the farmer to control soil losses. Therefore, inputs use induces a pollution which is accentuated by the...

Forestry and the Carbon Market Response to Stabilize Climate
Tavoni, Massimo; Bosetti, Valentina; Sohngen, Brent - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2007
This paper investigates the potential contribution of forestry management in meeting a CO2 stabilization policy of 550 ppmv by 2100. In order to assess the optimal response of the carbon market to forest sequestration we couple two global models. An energy-economy-climate model for the study of...

The SO2 Allowance Trading System and the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990: Reflections on Twenty Years of Policy Innovation
Chan, Gabriel; Stavins, Robert; Stowe, Robert; Sweeney, … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2012
The introduction of the U.S. SO2 allowance-trading program to address the threat of acid rain as part of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 is a landmark event in the history of environmental regulation. The program was a great success by almost all measures. This paper, which draws upon a...

Breaking the Impasse in International Climate Negotiations: A New Direction for Currently Flawed Negotiations and a Roadmap for China to 2050
Zhang, ZhongXiang - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011
China’s unilateral pledge to cut its carbon intensity by 40-45 percent by 2020 relative to its 2005 levels raises both the stringency issue, and given that China’s pledge is in the form of carbon intensity, reliability issues concerning China’s statistics on energy and GDP. Moreover, as...

Renewable Energy Subsidies: Second-Best Policy or Fatal Aberration for Mitigation?
Kalkuhl, Matthias; Edenhofer, Ottmar; Lessmann, Kai - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011
This paper evaluates the consequences of renewable energy policies on welfare, resource rents and energy costs in a world where carbon pricing is imperfect and the regulator seeks to limit emissions to a (cumulative) target. We use a global general equilibrium model with an intertemporal fossil...

Impacts of Border Carbon Adjustments on China’s Sectoral Emissions: Simulations with a Dynamic Computable General Equilibrium Model
Bao, Qin; Tang, Ling; Zhang, ZhongXiang; Qiao, Han; … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011
Carbon-based border tax adjustments (BTAs) have recently been proposed by some OECD countries to level the carbon playing field and target major emerging economies. This paper applies a multi-sector dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) model to estimate the impacts of the BTAs...
