Carbon Policy and the Emissions Implications of Electric Vehicles

Gillingham, Kenneth; Ovaere, Marten; Weber, Stephanie - 2021

Will a carbon tax improve the welfare consequences of policies to promote electric vehicles? This paper examines when a complementarity could exist between carbon pricing and high electric vehicle adoption. We analyze electricity generation in recent years to show that in several regions, carbon...

Trade, Leakage, and the Design of a Carbon Tax

Weisbach, David A.; Kortum, Samuel; Wang, Michael Y.; … - 2022

Climate policies vary widely across countries, with some countries imposing stringent emissions policies and others doing very little. When climate policies vary across countries, energy-intensive industries have an incentive to relocate to places with few or no emissions restrictions, an effect...

The Social Cost of Carbon and Inequality : When Local Redistribution Shapes Global Carbon Prices

Kornek, Ulrike - 2019

The social cost of carbon is the central economic measure for aggregate climate change damages and functions as a metric for optimal carbon prices. Previous literature shows that inequality significantly influences the level of the social cost of carbon, but mostly neglects a major source of...

The Social Cost of Carbon and the Ramsey Rule

Withagen, Cees - 2019

The objective of this paper is to critically assess the use of simple rules for the social cost of carbon (SCC) that employ a rudimentary form of the Ramsey Rule. Two interrelated caveats apply. First, if climate change poses a serious problem, it is hard to justify an exogenous constant growth...

Regulating Stock Externalities

Gerlagh, Reyer - 2019

We develop a dynamic regulation game for a stock externality under asymmetric information and future market uncertainty …. Within this framework, regulation is characterized as the implementation of a welfare-maximization program conditional on …

Screening Green Innovation Through Carbon Pricing

Ahlvik, Lassi; Bijgaart, Inge van den - 2022

Green innovation is essential for climate change mitigation, but not all innovative projects deliver equal social value. We consider innovator heterogeneity in a model where the policy maker cannot observe innovation quality and directly subsidize the socially most valuable green innovations. We...

Effects of Carbon Pricing and Other Climate Policies on CO 2 Emissions

Kohlscheen, Emanuel; Moessner, Richhild; Takáts, Előd - 2021

We provide ex-post empirical analysis of the effects of climate policies on carbon dioxide emissions at the aggregate national level. Our results are based on a comprehensive database of 121 countries. As climate policies we examine carbon taxes and emissions trading systems (ETS), as well as...
