Optimal Taxes on Fossil Fuel in General Equilibrium (2011, unknown): “…recent work includes that by van der Ploeg and Withagen (2012, 2014), which showed that the qualitative features of optimal paths may depend importantly on initial conditions. van der Ploeg and Withagen (2012, 2014), furthermore, argued—like we do here—that coal is the main threat to the climate.”
Imperfect Environmental Policy and Polluting Emissions: The Green Paradox and Beyond (2012, methodology): “Van der Ploeg and Withagen (2012b) also study the case of a user-subsidy for the backstop, σ, and find that no green paradox occurs in response to the subsidy as the switch to the backstop is made earlier and more reserves remain unexploited.”
Targets for global climate policy: an overview (2013, background): “An intertemporal welfare function cannot simultaneously satisfy two conditions: either one prefers a situation in which one generation is better off and none worse off (Pareto), or one is sensitive to a re-ordering of generations (anonymity) (van Liedekerke and Lauwers, 1997).”
Global Warming and the Green Paradox: A Review of Adverse Effects of Climate Policies (2015, background): “This means that with an increasing marginal cost of renewables, the “generic” optimal sequence of fuel use is to first have only fossil fuel use, then a phase with simultaneous use of fossil fuel and renewables, and a final phase with only renewable energy (van der Ploeg and Withagen 2012a).”
