Acceptance of National Wind Power Development and Exposure: A case-control choice experiment approach
(Discussion Papers;No. 933, Working paper, 2020-06)Despite a large stated-preference literature on wind power externalities, few SP studies employ a case-control approach to examine whether people´s acceptance of new wind power developments increases or decreases with ... -
Avoiding adverse employment effects from energy taxation: What does it cost?
(Discussion Papers;No. 432, Working paper, 2005)Abstract: Welfare analysis of energy taxes typically shows that systems with uniform rates perform better than differentiated systems. However, most western countries include some exemptions for their energyintensive export ... -
Capacity utilization in a generalized Malmquist index including environmental factors : a decompostion analysis
(Discussion Papers;No. 473, Working paper, 2006)Abstract: Productivity measures ignoring environmental effects may give misleading information on total productivity growth. Further, business cycles in the form of capacity utilization may also significantly influence ... -
Consequences of the IPPC-directive’s BAT requirements for abatement costs and emissions
(Discussion Papers;No. 411, Working paper, 2005)Abstract: The Integration Pollution and Prevention Control (IPPC) directive from the European Union implies that the regulatory emission caps should be set in accordance with each industry’s Best Available Techniques ... -
Energy taxation in a small, open economy : efficiency gains under political restraints
(Discussion Papers;No. 387, Working paper, 2004)Abstract: Welfare analyses of energy taxes typically show that systems with uniform rates perform better than differentiated systems, especially if revenue increases can be recycled via cuts in more distortionary taxes. ... -
Good girl–bad boy : making identity statements when answering a questionnaire
(Discussion Papers;609, Working paper, 2010)Environmental policy analyses often draw on stated preferences, with most humans having strong preferences with respect to how we view ourselves and how we would like others to perceive us. This may create systematic ... -
Implementing the EU renewable target through green certificate markets
(Discussion papers;No. 630, Working paper, 2010)Abstract: The EU Parliament has agreed on a target of a 20 % share of renewables in the EU’s total energy consumption by 2020. To achieve the target, the Council has adopted mandatory differentiated national targets for ... -
On the price and volume effects from green certificates in the energy market
(Discussion Papers;No. 351, Working paper, 2003)Abstract: We present a model for an energy market that includes a green certificate for suppliers of energy from renewables and a purchaser commitment to buy these certificates. We show that price and volume effects in ... -
Political motives in climate and energy policy
(Discussion papers;721, Working paper, 2012-12)Standard economic theory provides clear guidance on the design of cost-efficient policy in the presence of imperfect markets and externalities. However, observed policies reveal extensive discrepancies between principles ... -
Promoting renewables and discouraging fossil energy consumption in the European Union
(Discussion Papers;610, Working paper, 2010)The European Union (EU) identified some positive and negative externalities related to energy production and consumption when adopting its Renewable Energy and Climate Change Package. Given these externalities, we derive ... -
Quantifying central hypotheses on Environmental Kuznets Curves for a rich economy : a computable general equilibrium study
(Discussion Papers;No. 341, Working paper, 2003)Abstract: We investigate whether the future relationships between several pollutants and per capita income in rich countries may assume the inverted U-forms of Environmental Kuznets Curves (EKC). The emission-augmenting ... -
Richer and cleaner - at others' expense?
(Discussion Papers;No. 477, Working paper, 2006)Abstract: Pollution intensive production can be avoided domestically by increased imports and less exports of dirty products. Such trade effects may imply more emissions abroad, or pollution leakages. We study whether ... -
Technological changes in the pulp and paper industry and the role of uniform versus selective environmental policy
(Discussion Papers;No. 357, Working paper, 2003)Abstract: Although environmental regulations may imply a cost increase on firm's conventional input factors, such regulations could stimulate the incentives to improve factor productivity. Productivity measures including ... -
Transboundary environmental policy effects: Markets and emission leakages
(Discussion Papers;No. 384, Working paper, 2004)Abstract: According to the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) literature, several mechanisms within rich economies, including increased willingness to conduct abatement policies, contribute to reduce environmental problems. ...
