Environmental and Technology Policy Options in the Electricity Sector: Interactions and Outcomes

Fischer, Carolyn; Newell, Richard G.; Preonas, Louis - CESifo - 2014

Myriad policy measures aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the electricity sector, promote generation from renewable sources, and encourage energy conservation. To what extent do innovation and energy efficiency (EE) market failures justify additional interventions when a carbon price is...

Bush Meets Hotelling: Effects of Improved Renewable Energy Technology on Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Hoel, Michael - CESifo - 2008

Fossil fuels are non-renewable carbon resources, and the extraction path of these resources depends both on present and future demand. When this "Hotelling feature" is taken into consideration, the whole price path of carbon fuel will shift downwards as a response to the reduced cost of the...

Cutting Costs of Catching Carbon - Intertemporal Effects under Imperfect Climate Policy

Hoel, Michael; Jensen, Svenn - CESifo - 2010

We use a two-period model to investigate intertemporal effects of cost reductions in climate change mitigation technologies for the power sector. With imperfect climate policies, cost reductions related to carbon capture and storage (CCS) may be more desirable than com-parable cost reductions...

Eichner, Thomas; Runkel, Marco - CESifo - 2010

This paper provides a rationale for subsidizing green (renewable) energy production. Within a multi-country model where energy is produced with mobile capital in green and dirty production, we investigate the countries’ decentralized choice of emissions taxes and green energy subsidies....
