• Alternative designs for tariffs on embodied carbon. A global cost-effectiveness analysis 

      Böhringer, Christoph; Bye, Brita; Fæhn, Taran; Rosendahl, Knut Einar (Discussion Papers;682, Working paper, 2012)
      In the absence of effective world-wide cooperation to curb global warming, import tariffs on embodied carbon have been proposed as a potential supplement to unilateral emissions pricing. We systematically consider alternative ...
    • Cost-effective unilateral climate policy design: Size Matters 

      Böhringer, Christoph; Fischer, Carolyn; Rosendahl, Knut Einar (Discussion Papers;No. 664, Working paper, 2011)
      Abstract: Given the bleak prospects for a global agreement on mitigating climate change, pressure for unilateral abatement is increasing. A major challenge is emissions leakage. Border carbon adjustments and output-based ...
    • The Global Effects of Subglobal Climate Policies 

      Böhringer, Christoph; Fischer, Carolyn; Rosendahl, Knut Einar (Discussion Papers;634, Working paper, 2010)
      Individual countries are in the process of legislating responses to the challenges posed by climate change. The prospect of rising carbon prices raises concerns in these nations about the effects on the competitiveness of ...
    • Green serves the dirtiest : on the interaction between black and green quatas 

      Böhringer, Christoph; Rosendahl, Knut Einar (Discussion Papers;581, Working paper, 2009)
      Tradable black (CO2) and green (renewables) quotas gain in popularity and stringency within climate policies of many OECD countries. The overlapping regulation through both instruments, however, may have important adverse ...
    • Greening electricity more than necessary: On the cost implications of overlapping regulation in EU climate policy 

      Böhringer, Christoph; Rosendahl, Knut Einar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      Without tangible prospects for a global deal on climate protection the EU is under domestic policy pressure to justify stringent unilateral emissions reduction targets. Cost effectiveness of EU-wide emission abatement ...
    • Output-based rebating of carbon taxes in the neighbor’s backyard. Competitiveness, leakage and welfare 

      Böhringer, Christoph; Bye, Brita; Fæhn, Taran; Rosendahl, Knut Einar (Discussion papers;783, Working paper, 2014-06)
      We investigate how carbon taxes combined with output-based rebating (OBR) in an open economy perform in interaction with the carbon policies of a large neighboring trading partner. Analytical results suggest that whether ...
    • Satsing på fornybar kraft = satsing på kullkraft 

      Böhringer, Christoph; Rosendahl, Knut Einar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009)
      I Norge og resten av Europa er det politisk ønske om å redusere CO2-utslippene og øke produksjonen av fornybar energi. I denne artikkelen diskuterer vi hvordan økt satsing på fornybar kraft vil påvirke kraftmarkedet, ...
    • Sectoral and regional expansion of emissions trading 

      Böhringer, Christoph; Dijkstra, Bouwe; Rosendahl, Knut Einar (Discussion Papers;No. 654, Working paper, 2011)
      Abstract: We consider an international emissions trading scheme with partial sectoral and regional coverage. Sectoral and regional expansion of the trading scheme is beneficial in aggregate, but not necessarily for ...
    • Smart hedging against carbon leakage 

      Böhringer, Christoph; Storrøsten, Halvor Briseid; Rosendahl, Knut Einar (Discussion papers;920, Working paper, 2019-11)
      Policy makers in the EU and elsewhere are concerned that unilateral carbon pricing induces carbon leakage through relocation of emission-intensive and trade-exposed industries to other regions. A common measure to mitigate ...
    • Smart hedging against carbon leakage 

      Böhringer, Christoph; Rosendahl, Knut Einar; Storrøsten, Halvor Briseid (Discussion papers;No.822, Working paper, 2015-10)
      Unilateral climate policy induces carbon leakage through the relocation of emission-intensive and trade-exposed industries to regions with no or more lenient emission regulation. Both analytical and numerical studies suggest ...
    • Strategic partitioning of emissions allowances : under the EU Emission Trading Scheme 

      Böhringer, Christoph; Rosendahl, Knut Einar (Discussion Papers;No. 538, Working paper, 2008)
      Abstract: The EU Emission Trading Scheme (ETS) is breaking new ground in the experience with emission trading regimes across multiple jurisdictions. Since the EU ETS covers only some industries, it implies a hybrid emission ...
    • Targeted carbon tariffs: Carbon leakage and welfare effects 

      Böhringer, Christoph; Bye, Brita; Fæhn, Taran; Rosendahl, Knut Einar (Discussion papers;805, Working paper, 2015-03)
      Climate effects of unilateral carbon policies are undermined by carbon leakage. To counteract leakage and increase global cost-effectiveness carbon tariffs can be imposed on the emissions embodied in imports from non-regulating ...
    • The global effects of subglobal climate policies 

      Böhringer, Christoph; Fischer, Carolyn; Rosendahl, Knut Einar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)
      Individual countries are in the process of legislating responses to the challenges posed by climate change. The prospect of rising carbon prices raises concerns in these nations about the effects on the competitiveness ...
