Complementing carbon prices with technology policies to keep climate targets within reach (2015, background): “major policy components: (1) A carbon price starting at 7”
Combining Policies for Renewable Energy: Is the Whole Less than the Sum of its Parts? (2010, background): “However, R&D investments in renewable energy have a high degree of uncertainty and intangibility, not to mention limited appropriability, large economies of scale, and long time horizons (Sorrell and Sijm, 2003; Goulder and Parry, 2008).”
From financial instability to green finance: the role of banking and credit market regulation in the Eurace model (2019, background): “Many studies have compared the effects of market-based and command-and-control policies, see e.g. Hepburn (2006); Goulder and Parry (2008) for extensive comparisons.”
Vertical and Horizontal Redistributions from a Carbon Tax and Rebate (2019, neutral): “…MARKET-BASED PRICING POLICY such as a carbon tax or tradable permit program can reduce emissions at less cost than commonly employed mandates like a renewable-fuel standard or energy efficiency standard (see Goulder and Parry 2008; Aldy et al. 2010; or the exception in Goulder et al. 2016).”
Designing Climate Mitigation Policy (2010, methodology): “According to formulas derived in Goulder et al. (1999), the increase exceeds 100 percent when the emissions reduction is below 30 percent.”
Carbon pricing in climate policy: seven reasons, complementary instruments, and political economy considerations (2017, background): “One reason may be that this argument was neglected by previous comprehensive reviews of environmental policy analysis.(18,19) In line with this, rebound has so far not been considered a standard criterion in environmental policy analysis.”
The political economy of coal in Poland: Drivers and barriers for a shift away from fossil fuels (2020, neutral): “Explaining current policy outcomes regarding coal in Poland, but also in other countries, requires recognising the political influence of powerful stakeholders (Goulder and Parry, 2008).”
Second-best biofuel policies and the welfare effects of quantity mandates and subsidies (2012, background): “A distinct and separate question concerns the choice of policy instruments, an issue that has long been of interest in environmental economics [12].”
