Can non-market regulations spur innovations in environmental technologies? A study on firm level patenting
(Discussion papers;754, Working paper, 2013-09)This paper provides new evidence on the role of non-market based (“command-and-control”) regulations in relation to innovations in environmental technologies. While pricing is generally considered the first-best policy ... -
Explaining experience curves for LNG liquefaction costs: Competition matter more than learning
(Discussion Papers;No. 393, Working paper, 2004)Abstract: In this paper we seek to identify different driving forces behind the fall in LNG liquefaction unit costs. Our focus is on organizational learning including process specific R&D, but we also seek to account for ... -
Incentives to invest in abatement technology : a tax versus emissions trading under imperfect competition
(Discussion Papers;606, Working paper, 2010)In the longer run, effects on R&D and the implementation of advanced abatement technology may be at least as important as short-run cost effectiveness when we evaluate public environmental policy. In this paper, we show ... -
Price versus tradable quantity regulation : uncertainty and endogenous technology choice
(Discussion Papers;No. 643, Working paper, 2011)Abstract: This paper shows that tradable emissions permits and an emissions tax have a risk-related technology choice effect. We first examine the first- and second-order moments in the probability distributions of optimal ... -
Prices vs. quantities : technology choice, uncertainty and welfare
(Discussion Papers;677, Working paper, 2012)This paper shows that tradable emissions permits and an emissions tax affect the firms' technology choice differently under uncertainty. A tax encourages the most flexible technology if and only if stochastic costs and ... -
The fi scal incentive of GHG cap and trade. Permits may be too cheap and developed countries may abate too little
(Discussion papers;785, Working paper, 2014-07)The theoretical justification for a greenhouse gas (GHG) cap and trade system is that participants will trade emission permits until their marginal costs of abatement equal the equilibrium price of emission permits. Abatement ... -
Timing of innovation policies when carbon emissions are restricted : an applied general equilibrium analysis
(Discussion Papers;No. 536, Working paper, 2008)Abstract: This paper studies the timing of subsidies for environmental research and development (R&D) and how innovation policy is influenced by the costs of emissions. We use a dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) ...
