Cap and Trade, Rehabilitated: Using Tradable Permits to Control U.S. Greenhouse Gases (2008, result): “The choice of model, however, is not crucial to this exercise; other prominent CGE models (e.g., the MIT EPPA model (Paltsev et al. 2007) or the Second Generation Model [Sands 2007]) imply similar results.”
Addressing Climate Change with a Comprehensive U.S. Cap-and-Trade System (2008, unknown): “Two models have had a distinctly U.S. focus, and have been used to give particular attention to the costs associated with domestic cap-and-trade systems: the National Energy Modeling System (NEMS) of the U.S. Department of Energy (U.S. Energy Information Administration 2007), and the Emissions Predi”
Leveling the Carbon Playing Field: International Competition and US Climate Policy Design (2008, background): “5 percent below the projected baseline, depending on how the policy is designed (Paltsev et al. 2007; EIA 2007a, 2007b; Murray and Ross 2007; Aldy 2007).”
Limitations of integrated assessment models of climate change (2009, background): “A recent MIT assessment of the congressional cap-and-trade proposals estimated net welfare losses ranging up to about 2% of GDP by 2050 ( Paltsev et al. 2007 ).”
Market-Based Policy Options to Control U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions (2009, background): “Paltsev et al. (2007) provide an analysis of carbon pricing that suggests significant efficiency gains arise from including non-CO2 gases in the policy scheme.”
The Incidence of U.S. Climate Policy: Alternative Uses of Revenues from a Cap-and-Trade Auction (2009, unknown): “Several studies have examined the incidence of cap-and-trade and carbon tax policies in recent years (Dinan and Rogers, 2002; Parry, 2004; Boyce and Riddle, 2007; Paltsev et al., 2007; Metcalf, 2009; Shammin and Bullard, 2009).”
Designing Climate Mitigation Policy (2010, unknown): “For example, analyses by Paltsev et al. (2007), EPA (2008), EIA (2008a), and CRA International (2008) project emissions prices of around $40–90 per ton of CO2 in 2025 for climate legislation that would reduce U.S. CO2 emissions by about 20 percent below 2000 levels by that date.”
