Climate policies do not affect all power producers equally. In this paper, we evaluate the supply-side distributional consequences of emissions... Read more

We formally study the determinants, magnitude and distribution of efficiency gains generated in multilateral linkages between permit markets. We provide... Read more

This paper develops a novel theoretical tool with which a jurisdiction can evaluate the economic gains it can expect to obtain by linking its emissions trading system (ETS) to one, two or many ETSs at the same time, and proposes a reason why the global market remains a distant dream. Read more

The level of GDP, its sector composition and the carbon intensity of individual sectors together determine a country’s emissions. To... Read more

The economic case for limiting warming to 1.5°C is unclear, due to manifold uncertainties. However, it cannot be ruled out... Read more

This paper simulates the distributional consequences of alternative carbon emission reduction policies on power producers and finds that that a carbon tax outperforms all other instruments and does not reduce the profits of carbon-free generators. Read more

We propose a theory of the economic advantage (EA) of regulating carbon emissions by linking two emissions trading systems versus... Read more

This study of 39 countries shows that business sectors that have low levels of carbon dioxide emissions per output are outpacing the general economy in terms of productivity growth, while increasing the number of jobs and skill levels. Read more

This article focuses on the relationship between the design of carbon pricing instruments and business cycle fluctuations. Read more

This paper is the first large scale, quantitative study of the impact of corporate carbon management practices on corporate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Using data for 2009 and 2010 from the Carbon Disclosure Project survey, we find little compelling evidence that commonly adopted management practices are reducing emissions. Read more

Geoengineering can be defined as the technologies that aim to deliberately alter geophysical mechanisms in order to alleviate the impacts... Read more

CO2 emissions and GDP move together over the business cycle. Most climate change researchers would agree with this statement despite the absence of a study that formally analyzes the relationship between emissions and GDP at business cycle frequencies. The paper provides a rigorous empirical analysis of this relationship in a comprehensive cross-country panel by decomposing the emissions and GDP series into their growth and cyclical components using the HP filter.

Working Paper 78 Abstract CO2 emissions and GDP are positively correlated over the business cycle. Most climate change researchers would... Read more

This policy brief examines the measures Taiwan can take to safeguard its industries from the potential adverse consequences of its new national carbon fee, and reviews relevant measures adopted in major carbon pricing jurisdictions, including the EU, Singapore and UK. Read more

This written evidence was submitted on 12 July 2019 to the joint consultation into ‘The future of carbon pricing’, being carried out by the UK, Scottish and Welsh Governments, and the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs in Northern Ireland. Read more

This report investigates the extent to which current policies and institutional arrangements are fit for purpose for the new decarbonisation phase into which the EU is entering. It summarises the main findings from the Statkraft research programme. Read more

This submission explores whether the UK should seek to stay in or leave the EU emissions trading system (EU ETS) as part of Brexit negotiations. It finds that leaving the EU ETS would result in the UK losing access to low-cost emission reduction opportunities that are only available in what is currently the world’s largest carbon market. It also highlights that leaving the EU ETS to link with other existing or planned emissions trading systems could generate significant administrative costs that potentially offset any economic benefits.

Responsive cap-and-trade systems and carbon taxes can improve climate change policy by allowing higher greenhouse gas emissions during times of economic expansions and lower emissions during recessions. Read more

What kind of world do we want? This is the question with which Laurence Smith ends his new book, The New North. I like that ending. It does not prescribe but allows the reader to contemplate the world in 2050 as a malleable object. Read more

Despite the UK’s success in reducing territorial emissions, we are importing significantly more emissions than ever we have shifted the production of many domestically consumed goods abroad, particularly to China. Read more
