Punctuating the equilibrium: A lens to understand energy and environmental policy changes
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "International Journal of Energy Research"
DOI: 10.1002/er.4464
Abstract: Energy policies refer to the suite of governmental actions that address planning, generation, and consumption issues around items such as electricity, transportation, and efficiency. These decisions are sometimes politically contentious, given the complexities and interests… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10640-016-0108-1
Abstract: This paper presents the first empirical test of coherence (i.e., consistency of policies within a framework), causality (i.e., logical priority of objectives over policies), and effectiveness (i.e., ability of policies to tackle challenges as defined… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10640-017-0150-7
Abstract: We examine the hypothesis that induced technological change (ITC) can dramatically lower the cost of a carbon tax in a static optimal tax model. The research and development sector is represented by an aggregate stock… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11356-021-18267-8
Abstract: This paper uses a quantile fixed-effect panel data approach to investigate how environmental policy stringency affects CO 2 emissions in a set of 32 countries from 1990 to 2015, using OECD data. This approach allows… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.atmosenv.2020.117522
Abstract: Abstract Based on panel data of 23 OECD countries from 1990 to 2015, this research empirically analyzes the impact of environmental policy strictness on air quality (proxied by PM2.5, CO2, NOx, and SOx emissions) and… read more here.

Impact of environmental policy on eco-efficiency in country districts in Poland: How does the decreasing return to scale change perspectives?

DOI: 10.1016/j.eiar.2020.106431
Abstract: Abstract In macroeconomic analyses usually a simple proportional trade-off between economic growth and environmental pressure is assumed, i.e. constant return to scale (CRS). In this study authors show how changing CRS assumption affects environmental policy… read more here.

Environmental policy on the back of an envelope: A Cobb-Douglas model is not just a teaching tool

DOI: 10.1016/j.eneco.2019.07.007
Abstract: Abstract To clarify and interpret the workings of a large computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of environmental policy, we build an aggregated Cobb-Douglas (CD) model that can be solved easily and analytically. Its closed-form expressions… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.enpol.2021.112470
Abstract: Abstract This paper investigates the intensity of international collaborations in energy-related technologies across OECD and BRIICS countries, by disentangling the role of the distance in environmental policy stringency between countries, controlling for the more traditional… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.euroecorev.2017.01.002
Abstract: Conventional wisdom argues that environmental policy is less costly if it induces the development of cleaner technologies. In contrast to this argument, we show that once the second-best nature of actual economies is taken into… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jclepro.2018.05.162
Abstract: Abstract Economic conditions are typically viewed as having an important influence on environmental policy. In particular, it is widely believed that under adverse economic conditions, electorates and governments prioritize economic growth and jobs over costly… read more here.
