Price versus quantities versus indexed quantities

Branger, Frédéric; Quirion, Philippe - 2014

We develop a stochastic model to rank different policies (tax, fixed cap and relative cap) according to their expected total social costs. Three types of uncertainties are taken into account: uncertainty about abatement costs, business-as-usual (BAU) emissions and future economic output (the two...

2C or not 2C?

Guivarch, Céline; Hallegatte, Stéphane - 2011

Political attention has increasingly focused on limiting warming to 2°C. However, to date the only mitigation commitments accompanying this target are the so-called Copenhagen pledges, and these pledges appear to be inconsistent with the 2°C objective. Diverging opinions on whether this...

European-led climate policy versus global mitigation action : implications on trade, technology, and energy

De Cian, Enrica; Keppo, Ilkka; Bollen, Johannes; … - 2014

This paper examines how changes in an international climate regime would affect the European decarbonization strategy and costs through the mechanisms of trade, technology, and innovation. We present the results from the Energy Modeling Forum (EMF) model comparison study on European climate...

Global energy security under different climate policies, GDP growth rates and fossil resource availabilities

Cherp, Aleh; Jewell, Jessica; Vinichenko, Vadim; Bauer, Nico - 2014

Energy security is one of the main drivers of energy policies. Understanding energy security implications of long-term scenarios is crucial for informed policy making, especially with respect to transformations of energy systems required to stabilize climate change. This paper evaluates the...

The effect of African growth on future global energy, emissions, and regional development

Calvin, Katherine; Pachauri, Shonali; De Cian, Enrica; … - 2014

Today Africa is a small emitter, but it has a large and faster-than-average growing population and per capita income that could drive future energy demand and, if unconstrained, emissions. This paper uses a multi-model comparison to characterize the potential future energy development for...

European energy efficiency and decarbonization strategies beyond 2030 : a sectoral multi-model decomposition

Förster, Hannah; Schumacher, Katja; De Cian, Enrica; … - 2014

Energy efficiency and decarbonization are important elements of climate change mitigation. We draw on European mitigation scenarios from the EMF28 modeling exercise to decompose economy-wide and sectoral emissions into their main components. We utilize the Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI)...
