      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 ...

    • Cutting costs of catching carbon : intertemporal effects under imperfect climate policy 

      Hoel, Michael; Jensen, Svenn (Discussion Papers; 639, Working paper, 2010)
      We use a two-period model to investigate intertemporal effects of cost reductions in climate change mitigation technologies for the power sector. With imperfect climate policies, cost reductions related to carbon capture ...

    • The effects of transport regulation on the oil market : does market power matter? 

      Kverndokk, Snorre; Rosendahl, Knut Einar (Discussion papers;No. 629, Working paper, 2010)
      Abstract: Popular instruments to regulate consumption of oil in the transport sector include fuel taxes, biofuel requirements, and fuel efficiency. Their impacts on oil consumption and price vary. One important factor is ...

    • 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 ...

      Abstract: Motivated by the climate problem, this paper examines some effects of international cap & trade when national quotas result from strategic choice. In contrast to the fairly optimistic tone of closely related ...

    • Multiple instruments to change energy behaviour : the emperor's new clothes 

      Bye, Torstein; Bruvoll, Annegrete (Discussion Papers;No. 549, Working paper, 2008)
      Abstract: Over the last few decades, several instruments have evolved to deal with similar energy and environmental challenges. For instance, the economic literature prescribes separate tax or cap-and-trade systems to ...

    • Strategic investment in climate friendly technologies: the impact of permit trade 

      Greaker, Mads; Hagem, Cathrine (Discussion Papers;No. 615, Working paper, 2010)
      Abstract: Our point of departure is that a group of developed countries invest in the development of greenhouse gas (GHG) abatement technologies both at home and in developing countries. Such investments reduce the cost ...
