Economic and environmental impacts of a carbon adder in New York
Akɪn-Olçum, Gökçe; Böhringer, Christoph; … - 2019
New York is considering additional emission regulation on top of its obligations under the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) to achieve its State Energy Plan targets. The proposed measure is a so-called "carbon adder" on CO2 emissions from the power sector which is set as the difference...

Intensity-based rebating of emission pricing revenues
Böhringer, Christoph; Fischer, Carolyn; Rivers, Nicholas - 2022 - Current Draft: May 2022
Carbon pricing policies worldwide are increasingly coupled with direct or indirect subsidies where emissions pricing revenues are rebated to the regulated entities. This paper analyzes the incentives created by two novel forms of rebating that reward additional emission intensity reductions: one...

Vertical fiscal externalities and the environment
Böhringer, Christoph; Rivers, Nicholas; Yonezawa, Hidemichi - 2014
We show that imposition of a state-level environmental tax in a federation crowds out preexisting federal taxes. We explain how this vertical fiscal externality can lead unilateral statelevel environmental policy to generate a welfare gain in the implementing state, at the expense of other...

US climate policy : a critical assessment of intensity standards
Böhringer, Christoph; Garcia-Muros, Xaquín; … - 2015
Intensity standards have gained substantial momentum as a regulatory instrument in US climate policy. Based on numerical simulations with a large-scale computable general equilibrium model we show that intensity standards may rather increase than decrease counterproductive carbon leakage....
