متن کاملEnvironmental and Technology Policies for Climate Mitigation
We assess different policies for reducing carbon dioxide emissions and promoting the innovation and diffusion of renewable energy. We evaluate the relative performance of policies according to incentives provided for emissions reduction, efficiency, and other outcomes. We also assess how the nature of technological progress—whether it occurs through learning by doing or R&D investment, and the ...
متن کاملEfficient Climate Policies under Technology and Climate Uncertainty
This article explores efficient climate policies in terms of investment streams into fossil and renewable energy technologies. The investment decisions maximise social welfare while observing a probabilistic guardrail for global mean temperature rise under uncertain technology and climate parameters. Such a guardrail constitutes a chance constraint, and the resulting optimisation problem is an ...
متن کاملHow Will Climate Change Policies Affect Domestic Manufacturing?
The pollution haven hypothesis suggests that unilateral environmental regulation could cause adverse “competitiveness” impacts on domestic manufacturers as they lose market share to foreign competitors and relocate production activity – and emissions – to unregulated economies. This is particularly troubling in the case of mitigating climate change, a global pollution externality, where there a...
