Does the EU ETS cause carbon leakage in European manufacturing?

Naegele, Helene; Zaklan, Aleksandar - 2017

climate policy addressing global externalities. The debate is particularly salient in Europe, where the EU Emissions … TradingSystem (EU ETS) covers emissions of many traded sectors. In a first step, we review how carbon leakage and the pollution … introduced by the EU ETS has caused carbon leakage in European manufacturing. We compute trade flows in embodied carbon and value …

De-fueling externalities : how tax salience and fuel substitution mediate climate and health benefits

Basaglia, Pier; Behr, Sophie M.; Drupp, Moritz A. - 2023

This paper is the first to investigate the effectiveness of fuel taxation to jointly deliver climate and health benefits in a quasi-experimental setting. Using the synthetic control method, we compare carbon and air pollutant emissions of the actual and synthetic German transport sector...

Methodological aspects of environmental labour market analysis

Blazejczak, Jürgen; Edler, Dietmar - 1997

High and persistent unemployment rates and increasing awareness of environmental degradation in many industrial countries have promoted the interest in the labour market effects of environmental policy. Environmental labour market analysis is fraught with many difficulties, however. Being...

Are emission performance standards effective in pollution control? : evidence from the EU's large combustion plant directive

Singhal, Puja - 2019 - Revised on May 29, 2019

This paper explores the extent to which emissions limits on stack concentrations under the Large Combustion Plant (LCP) Directive succeeded in mitigating local air pollutants from thermal power stations in the European Union. We take advantage of the discontinuities in regulation status to show...

Are emission performance standards effective in pollution control? : evidence from the EU's large combustion plant directive

Singhal, Puja - 2018

This paper explores the extent to which the Large Combustion Plant (LCP) Directive succeeded in mitigating local air pollutants from thermal electricity generating plants in the European Union. Using yearly data on plant-level operations from the EEA, we investigate whether emissions limits on...

Time-consistent carbon pricing : the role of carbon contracts for differences : [a previous version of this paper was titled: "Time-consistent carbon pricing"]

Chiappinelli, Olga; Neuhoff, Karsten - 2020

Carbon pricing decisions by governments are prone to time-inconsistency, which causes the private sector to underinvest in emission-reducing technologies. We show that incentives for decarbonization can be improved if complementing carbon pricing with carbon contracts for differences, where the...

Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of green waste : an environmental and economic assessment of HTC coal in the metropolitan region of Berlin, Germany

Medick, Jakob; Teichmann, Isabel; Kemfert, Claudia - 2017

Based on a life-cycle sustainability assessment and the calculation of carbon abatement costs, we quantify the greenhouse-gas emission reductions and costs if green waste in the metropolitan region of Berlin, Germany, is diverted from composting into the production of hydrothermally carbonized...

Time-consistent carbon pricing

Chiappinelli, Olga; Neuhoff, Karsten - 2017

In this paper we show that carbon pricing is subject to time-inconsistency and we investigate solutions to improve on the problem and restore the incentive for the private sector to invest in low-carbon innovation. We show that a superior price-investment equilibrium can be sustained in the...
