An empirical analysis of the CO2 shadow price in Chinese thermal power enterprises

Measuring the CO2 shadow price for wastewater treatment: A directional distance function approach

The estimation of the value of carbon emissions has become a major research and policy topic since the establishment of the Kyoto Protocol. The shadow price of CO2 provides information about the marginal abatement cost of this pollutant. It is an essential element in guiding environmental policy issues, since the CO2 shadow price can be used when fixing carbon tax rates, in environmental cost-b...

Derivation Of Shadow Price For CO2 Gas Emission Using Distance Function Approach

Shadow Price Specification of Natural Gas in Production Activities of the Iranian Economy

Natural gas plays a key role in Iran’s economy and using its shadow price in allocating it to different sectors can lead to optimal use of this resource. This study uses a non-linear input-output model to estimate the shadow price of natural gas in different economic sectors in Iran. The study uses values of the input-output table constructed by the Statistics Center of Iran for the year 2011. ...

Estimation of Marginal Abatement Costs for Undesirable Outputs in India’s Power Generation Sector: An Output Distance Function

Many production activities generate undesirable byproducts in conjunction with the desirable outputs they produce. The present study uses an output distance function approach and its duality with the revenue function to estimate the marginal abatement cost of CO2 emissions from a sample of thermal plants in India. Two sets of exercises have been undertaken. The marginal abatement cost is first ...

Analysis of implementation of Tradable Green Certificates system in a competitive electricity market: a game theory approach

This paper investigates three models to implement Tradable Green Certificates (TGC) system with aid of game theory approach. In particular, the competition between thermal and renewable power plants is formulated in three models: namely cooperative, Nash and Stackelberg game models. The price of TGC is assumed to be determined by the legislative body (government) which is fixed. Numerical examp...
