Are renewable quotas effective to reduce CO 2 emissions ?
We quantify the intertemporal impact of a renewable quota on CO2 emissions, pollution and welfare. We find that a quota substitutes investments in baseload technologies. Therefore quotas have little impact on CO2 and pollution in systems that expand baseload with hydro. We also find that quotas can be quite expensive and their impact is highly nonlinear. With detailed data on Chile’s system we ...

Technically ...

I first present a repeated principal-agent contracting environment in which menus of discounted quota contracts are optimal. I then recursively characterize the dynamics of discounted qu...

Extrapolating from previous experiences, however, a further investigation of the ITQ system may reveal weakness of this instrument as well and may help improve...
