    • Optimal timing of environmental policy. Interaction between environmental taxes and innovation externalities 

      Gerlagh, Reyer; Kverndokk, Snorre; Rosendahl, Knut Einar (Discussion Papers;No. 493, Working paper, 2007)
      Abstract: This paper addresses the impact of endogenous technology through research and development (R&D) and learning by doing (LbD) on the timing of environmental policy. We develop two models, the first with technological ...
    • Output-based allocation and investment in clean technologies 

      Rosendahl, Knut Einar; Storrøsten, Halvor Briseid (Discussion Papers;644, Working paper, 2011)
      Allocation of emission allowances may affect firms' incentives to invest in clean technologies. In this paper we show that so-called output-based allocation tends to stimulate such investments as long as individual firms ...
    • 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 ...
    • Policies for electrification of the car fleet in the short and long run – subsidizing electric vehicles or subsidizing charging stations? 

      Hagem, Cathrine; Kverndokk, Snorre; Nævdal, Eric; Rosendahl, Knut Einar (Discussion Paper;No. 980, Working paper, 2022-05)
      Abatement can be performed by measures that have an impact on present emissions, but no lasting effect, and by long-lived infrastructure investments. We study the optimal combination of short and long-lived options for ...
