Carbon Dioxide Emission Standards
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 emission rates (and standards) would be feasible if the existing generating units adopt best practices. A new efficiency measure is introduced and further decomposed to identify different sources’...
متن کاملIncreasing Emissions Certainty under a Carbon Tax
arious organizations and individuals, including issue-oriented advocacy groups, research institutes, business groups, and members of Congress, have recently proposed that the United States consider use of a carbon tax as the primary federal policy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.1 A carbon tax establishes a fixed fee per unit of emissions and thereby provides a certain price incentive to cut...
متن کاملTax Induced Emissions? Estimating short-run emission impacts from carbon taxation under different electricity market structures
This paper evaluates the relevance of market structure on the short-run effectiveness of carbon taxation by utilizing the introduction of Australia’s carbon tax in 2012, its removal in 2014, and between these dates a change in market structure in Western Australia where the dominant generator became vertically integrated with the market retailer. The market power of the dominant firm decreased ...
متن کاملOptimal carbon tax doubled
Typically, cost–benefit analysis (CBA) has suggested ‘optimal’ carbon tax regimes that result in a global temperature rise of around 3 °C, or even eventually (post-2100) 4 °C, above preindustrial levels. However, risk analysis approaches indicate that these levels of temperature rise result in climate change impacts that pose a high or very high level of risk to society and ecosystems1 (Fig. 1)...
متن کاملCoordinating a Two-Echelon Supply Chain under Carbon Tax
In this paper, we study the impact of carbon tax on carbon emission and retail price in a two-echelon supply chain consisting of a manufacturer and a retailer. Specifically, by adopting two types of contracts, i.e., the modified wholesale price (MW) and the modified cost-sharing contract (MS), supply chain coordination is achieved, which promotes the supply chain efficiency. Our study shows tha...
