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...

Study of International Regulatory Co-operation (IRC) arrangements for air quality : the cases of the Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution, the Canada-United States Air Quality Agreement, and co-operation in North East Asia

Kauffmann, Céline; Saffirio, Camila - 2020

China, Japan and Korea have deployed a multiplicity of co-operation efforts at different levels of government to promote air quality and curb transboundary pollution. This paper identifies the existing arrangements for air quality co-operation in North East Asia and provides guidance to advance...

Time is of the essence: climate adaptation induced by existing institutions

Bento, Antonio; Miller, Noah; Mookerjee, Mehreen; … - 2021

In the absence of first-best climate policy, we demonstrate that existing government institutions and policy established for reasons unrelated to climate change may induce climate adaptation. We examine the impact of temperature on ambient ozone concentration in the United States from 1980-2013,...

Greener fleet, cleaner air : how Low Emission Zones reduce pollution

Aydin, Eren; Gehrsitz, Markus; Traxler, Christian - 2024

Using a stacked differences-in-differences approach, we study the effects of Low Emission Zones (LEZs) in Germany. The implementation of stage 1 and 2 LEZs, which banned the most pollution-intensive vehicles from city centers, significantly reduced PM10 concentrations. The most restrictive third...

Carbon dioxide emission standards for US power plants : an efficiency analysis perspective

Hampf, Benjamin; Rødseth, Kenneth Løvold - 2014

On June 25, 2013, President Obama announced his plan to introduce carbon dioxide emission standards for electricity generation. This paper proposes an efficiency analysis approach that addresses which mission rates (and standards) would be feasible if the existing generating units adopt best...

Unintended Impacts of Multiple Instruments on Technology Adoption

Coria, Jessica - Nationalekonomiska institutionen, Handelshögskolan - 2009

There are many situations where environmental authorities use a mix of environmental policy instruments, rather than one single instrument, to address environmental concerns. For example, one instrument may be used to reduce overall emissions of a pollutant while another is used to address...
