Optimal climate policy is studied in a Ramsey growth model. A developing economy weighs global warming less, hence is more likely to exhaust fossil fuel and exacerbate global warming. The optimal carbon tax is higher for a developed economy. We analyze the optimal time of transition from fossil fuel to renewables, amount of fossil fuel to leave in situ, and carbon tax. Subsidizing a backstop wi...

generators’ risks Richard Green Institute for Energy Research and Policy University of Birmingham, Birmingham B15 2TT Tel: +44 121 415 8216 Email: [email protected] October 2007 Abstract Volatile fuel prices affect both the cost and price of electricity in a liberalized market. Generators with the price-setting technology will face less risk to their profit margins than those with costs that...
متن کاملEconomic Assessment of Carbon Tax policy: Applied Computable General Equilibrium Model
Unbalanced use of fossil fuels has made the environmental crisis as major challenge for governments. In the same methods, international and domestic institutions have designed and implemented various policies and plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which are the cause of environmental pollution. One of the successful policies to reduce emissions is carbon tax policy. Considering the envir...

متن کاملCarbon Price and Optimal Extraction of a Polluting Fossil Fuel with Restricted Carbon Capture
Among technological options to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, Carbon Capture and Storage technology (CCS) seems particularly promising. This technology allows to keep on extracting polluting fossil fuels without drastically increasing CO2 atmospheric concentration. We examine here a two-sector model with two primary energy resources, a polluting exhaustible resource and an expensive c...
