Competing Forces in the German New Car Market:How do they Affect Diesel, PHEV, and BEV Sales? by Anna Alberini, Marco Horvath and Colin Vance.
PowerPoint Presentation
Abstract

In the context of the energy transition, the criticality of materials (cobalt, copper, lithium, nickel, etc.) entering into the composition of low-carbon technologies could be exacerbated by the increase in their consumption. The objective of this presentation is to propose a forward-looking methodology based on the Times Markal model developed at IFPEN to assess the consumption of materials by 2050 and the public policies necessary to reduce criticality.

Title
Prospective methodology for assessing the material needs of the energy transition.
Abstract

European Union regulations require automakers to comply with specific targets for the CO2 emissions rates of the new vehicles they sell. The targets have been tightened at regular intervals since the beginning of the regulatory program in 2012. EU directives also seek to attain a zero-emissions fleet by 2035. In addition, several member states have adopted measures to encourage the sales of low-emissions and electric vehicles (EVs). We examine the role of such policies—compared with “traditional” determinants of car sales, such as taxes and fuel prices, local ordinances banning diesel vehicles from entering specific areas, and the EV charging infrastructure—using new car sales data from Germany from January 2014 to March 2020. With over three million new cars sold every year, a fleet of over 48 million (as of 2019), and a renowned auto industry, Germany is the largest car market in Europe. The average CO2 emissions of new cars sold in Germany declined at a fast rate until approximately 2016, then leveled off and even slightly increased as the share of diesel vehicles dropped. Some of these “missing” diesel cars appear to have been replaced for the most part by conventional gasoline vehicles. Hybrids, plug-in hybrids and EVs have been growing, but in a less than proportional fashion. In Germany the annual car circulation tax is linked with the CO2 emissions rate of the vehicles, penalizing vehicles with larger engines, diesel engines, and higher CO2 emissions rate per km (Alberini and Horvath, 2021). As of 2016, substantial rebates have been offered to drivers who purchase all electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids. Concerns however have been expressed as to whether the charging infrastructure remains a limiting constraint to the purchase of EVs (Illmann and Kluge, 2020; Sommer and Vance, 2021) and whether subsidies to charging stations are more effective than rebates to consumers (Cole et al., 2021). In addition, certain metro areas in Germany have adopted or have been considering the adoption of diesel vehicle bans out of concern for local pollution problems, a trend that partly overlapped with the Volkswagen “Dieselgate” scandal. We use a panel dataset documenting new car sales data at the Bundesland (state) level from 2014 to early 2020 to examine which of these factors seem to have been more effective at shaping new cars sales. We exploit the variation in taxes, fuel costs and rebates across types of cars and over time, as well as the variation in diesel ban ordinances and charging infrastructure across locales and over time. Our goal is to disentangle the effect of each factor and policy, assess the contribution of each to the new car sales patterns and CO2 emissions, and to examine the heterogeneity of such effects across different parts of the country.

Title
Market Power and Price Exposure: Learning from Changes in Renewables’ Regulation
Background

We provide theoretical and empirical results regarding the market power implications of different types of renewable support schemes in electricity markets. In particular, we seek to understand how the exposure of renewable energies to wholesale price fluctuations affects the overall degree of market power. Theoretically, we find that shielding renewables from price fluctuations is effective at curbing market power in relatively concentrated markets. Empirically, we leverage several short-lived changes to renewables’ support mechanisms in the Spanish electricity market and find that the switch from fixed to market-based pricing caused a 2-4% reduction in the average price-cost markup.

“Digital sobriety certificates as an instrument for regulating digital pollution” co-written with Lise Péragin (M2 EEET Paris-Saclay)
Abstract

The objective of this article is to study digital pollution and to question the possibility of establishing certificates of digital sobriety which would aim to promote investments or changes in practices in terms of digital sobriety. This project is inspired by the concept of energy saving certificates which have been implemented in several European countries. The principle would be to implement obligations relating to certain digital players in order to make investments in digital sobriety.

Ademe “Transition(s) 2050” scenarios: Four transition scenarios towards carbon neutrality in France
Abstract

Faced with the climate emergency, the changes to be made are of such magnitude that it is nevertheless essential to accelerate the debates on the choices of society to be made, especially since the path to be taken remains unclear, even unknown. , for decision-makers and citizens. This is why ADEME wanted to submit to the debate four “typical” paths, coherent and contrasting to lead France towards the objective of carbon neutrality in 2050. This unprecedented forecasting exercise is based on two years of development work, the mobilization of around a hundred ADEME employees and regular exchanges with a scientific committee and external partners and service providers, specialists in the various fields. This seminar will be an opportunity to review and discuss this work, the methods used and the analyzes carried out, as well as the information and lessons that can be drawn from it. The published documents, the presentation of the scenarios and the main lessons are available online here.

“Start-up Costs and Market Power: Lessons from the Renewable Energy Transition”
Abstract

Firms expect to recover the fixed costs required to start production by earning positive operating profits in subsequent periods. We develop a dynamic framework to calculate the series of prices and plant output allocations that minimize the production costs of serving electricity demand and allows for the recovery of the start-up costs incurred by fossil-fuel power plants. Using this framework, we show that static comparisons of observed market prices and marginal costs can overstate the rents attributable to market power in an electricity market where power plants frequently stop and start production in response to output from rooftop solar panels. We estimate that increases in solar capacity correspond to increases in the aggregate operating profits earned by fossil-fuel plants because competition softens at sunset – plants displaced by output from solar panels during the day must incur start-up costs to compete in the evening, reducing the number of plants operating in the evening and thus increasing firms’ ability to exercise market power.

The impact of Climate Change on Farmland Prices: a Repeat-Ricardian analysis
Abstract
The impact of Climate Change on Farmland Prices: a Repeat-Ricardian analysis
Ricardian analyses of farmland values have become a cornerstone of the literature assessing the impacts of climate change on the value of agriculture. However, concerns about the lack of a formal econometric strategy to deal with omitted farmland characteristics have raised doubts about the identification of such impacts. This paper proposes an original method for estimating Ricardian models with plot fixed effects to control for confounding omitted variables. Specifically, we use plot-level repeat-sale data to investigate how differences in farmland prices are explained by differences in climate conditions between two sale dates in France from 1996 to 2019. We show that, in comparison to our repeat-Ricardian estimates, standard Ricardian analyses result in artificially low benefits of climate change. In particular, our repeat-Ricardian estimates indicate that hotter summers should benefit French agriculture, in complete opposition to our pooled Ricardian estimates or to the remainder of the literature. Our repeat-Ricardian results are robust to several specifications, length-definitions of climate and sub-samples. Our simulations suggest that the omitted variable bias in standard Ricardian analyses leads to an underestimation of the impacts of future climate changes of between 56% and 96%.

Fighting Climate Change: International Attitudes Toward Climate Policies
Abstract
Using new surveys on more than 40,000 respondents in twenty countries that account for 72% of global CO2 emissions, we study the understanding of and attitudes toward climate change and climate policies. We show that, across countries, support for climate policies hinges on three key factors: the perceived effectiveness of the policies in reducing emissions, their perceived distributional impacts on lower-income households (inequality concerns), and their own household’s gains and losses. We also show that information that specifically addresses these key concerns can substantially increase the support for climate policies in many countries. Explaining how policies work and who can benefit from them is critical to foster policy support. Simply making people more worried about climate change is not an effective strategy to foster policy support. Furthermore, we identify several socioeconomic and lifestyle factors – most notably education, political leanings, car usage, and availability of public transportation– that are significantly correlated with both policy views and overall reasoning and beliefs about climate policies. Yet, it is difficult to predict beliefs or policy views based on these characteristics only.

Complications in Cooperating when Players are Asymmetric: Theory and Experimental Evidence
Abstract
I study an indefinitely repeated game where players’ payoffs are asymmetric. Attempts to cooperate in such an environment, for example by rationing actions in proportion to some measure of size, have generally struggled in practice. Successful cooperation requires setting shares so that neither player will defect, which commonly requires allocating shares that disproportionately favors the player with larger payoffs — which the smaller player is unlikely to accept. One resolution to this conflict arises when players’ utility depends on payoff differences, which tends to increase the smaller player’s share. I then analyze experimental data that sheds light on this issue. I find that smaller players do not reduce their actions proportionately to their one-shot Nash equilibrium level. While inconsistent with the standard repeated-game result, this outcome is consistent with the version of the model where players’ payoffs reflect inequality aversion.

Tackling car emissions in urban areas: Shift, Avoid, Improve (join work with Marion Leroutier)
Abstract
The environmental externalities associated with car use represent a significant cost to society. Using a representative transport survey from the Paris area, we investigate to what extent car use could be shifted to low-emission modes, avoided via teleworking, or improved via a transition to electric vehicles. According to our scenario analysis based on counterfactual travel time data for 45,000 observed car trips, 40% of car users could realistically shift to e-bike mostly or public transit in a few cases with an increase in travel time of one minute per day on average. Such modal shift would reduce CO2 and local pollutant emissions from daily mobility by around 15%, generating climate and health benefits worth around e140 million per year. Inability to undertake a modal shift is associated with living in the outer suburbs, being retired, being a man and having a high income. Another 5% of total emissions could be avoided if all the car-dependent” individuals able to work from home did so for two days a week. Holding demand for mobility and public transport infrastructure fixed, achieving greater emission reductions would require improving car use via a transition to electric vehicles.

Extreme temperatures and inequality: Evidence from French agriculture.
Abstract

Climate change is expected to alter the frequency of occurrence of extreme weather events. Ap-plying quantile regressions on French crop farmers individual cross sectioned data over the period2002-2017, we quantify the distributional eﬀect of extreme temperatures on farm income. Finding sindicate that both hot and cold extreme temperatures during the growing season may on average substantially reduce farm income. The distributional analysis unveil an important heterogeneity between farmers and opposite eﬀects of cold and hot extreme temperatures. While cold extreme temperatures are found to be more damaging for lowest incomes, and hence increase inequality, hot extreme temperatures are found to be more harmful for highest incomes, and decrease inequality. Two possible reasons for this antagonistic impact of extreme temperatures are explored.First, there could be a crop eﬀect: the proportion of corn in the crop mix decreases with income,while the proportion of rapeseed increases with income. Second, there could be a region eﬀect: the proportion of Northern farmers increases with income while the proportion of Southern farmers decreases with income.

Title
Long-term decarbonisation: can the EU-ETS do better?
Abstract
Despite the marked increase in the price of carbon on the EU-ETS for several years, the European Commission has shown its willingness to reform the mechanism in order, among other things, to encourage the adoption of low-carbon technologies. This paradox can be explained by the distinction between short-term, reversible reductions and long-term investments in low-carbon, irreversible technologies. However, the latter are not only obtained by a significantly high price, but also by good visibility of the future trajectory of this price. The presentation first returns to the concept of a central carbon bank to ensure such visibility. But for regulated sectors to invest in technological change, viable low-carbon technologies still need to be developed. The presentation therefore then focuses on the elements of reform of the EU-ETS, or which are linked to it, likely to have a direct or indirect impact on low-carbon innovation. In this regard, particular attention is paid to the carbon border adjustment mechanism.

Title
Decoding the reform of the electricity market
(The FLM will take place in an interview format, with Anna Creti answering questions from the Chair’s PhD students)
Abstract
The current system has provided an efficient and integrated market for many years, enabling the EU to reap the economic benefits of a single energy market, ensuring security of supply and stimulating the process of decarbonization. However, the system also revealed potential weaknesses. In the context of the current crisis, with high and volatile electricity prices, the economic burden has weighed too heavily on end consumers. A reform is under discussion, in particular to better protect households and businesses against high energy prices, increase resilience and accelerate the transition planned in the European Green Deal and the REPowerEU Plan.

Tariff design, incentives and transports: an experimental approach (with Philippe Gagnepain, Sébastien Massoni et Carine Staropoli)
Abstract
How do consumers react to tariff design? The theoretical literature in industrial organization aims to design tariffs to address economic concerns. However, empirical results show that consumers may not fully react to complex prices, as they are based on the assumption of perfect rationality. This is particularly relevant in public transportation, as policymakers aim to increase usage and alleviate network congestion through pricing strategies. Through a laboratory experiment, this study aims to analyze the trade-off between time and money under different tariffs. The findings of this study will be crucial in informing public transportation policy and reducing individual car usage.

Title
Carbon Default Swap – Disentangling the Exposure to Carbon Risk Through CDS
Abstract
Using Credit Default Swap spreads, we construct a forward-looking, market-implied carbon risk factor and show that carbon risk affects firms’ credit spread. The effect is larger for European than North American firms and varies substantially across industries, suggesting the market recognises where and which sectors are better positioned for a transition to a low-carbon economy. Moreover, lenders demand more credit protection for those borrowers perceived to be more exposed to carbon risk when market-wide concern about climate change risk is el- evated. Finally, lenders expect that adjustments in carbon regulations in Europe will cause relatively larger policy-related costs in the near future.

Rainy days and learning outcomes: evidence from Sub-Saharan Africa
with Yasmine Bekkouche (ULB)and Oswald Koussihouèdé (UNESCO IIEP)
Abstract
We combined information on daily rainfall at school locations and standardized test scores to study how learning outcomes at primary schools are affected by precipitation during school days in Sub-Saharan Africa. Our results suggest that student test scores are lower in schools that are exposed to more rainy days during the academic year. Students in locations that had more rainy school days are also more likely to experience grade repetition. We assess and find evidence for two mechanisms for these findings: teacher absenteeism due to rainy school days and lower coverage of school curricula.

Titre
Simulating the impact of urban climate policies over a large number of cities

Résumé
City-level policies are increasingly recognized as key components of strategies to reduce transport greenhouse gas emissions. However, at a global scale, their total efficiencies, costs and practical feasibility remain unclear. I will present a few papers in which we show that, thanks to the recent increase in local data availability, urban economic and transport models can help analyze and simulate the potential, the welfare impacts and the inequalities created by transport policies in cities in different countries. Our results highlight that there is no one-size-fits-all policy, but that, with city-specific strategies, it seems generally possible to sharply reduce emissions, over 15 to 20 years, while increasing the average welfare of the inhabitants. However, inequality creation by the policies appears as one of the main challenge, as it raises ethical issues and threatens the political acceptability of the policies. How to overcome this challenge still appears as a research gap.

Title
Do not tax carbon in Sub-Saharan Africa
Abstract
Ongoing global warming is due to historic emissions by Western countries and, more recently, high economic growth rates in Asia and Latin America have contributed significantly to the carbon stock as well. Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) for long has been in the spotlight only for climate change adaptation but is increasingly entering the debate as a potential future emitter. Accordingly, there has been a push to tax carbon in SSA. Indeed, carbon taxation is often praised as the go-to instrument for efficient climate policy. In this comment, we argue that it is wrong to tax carbon in SSA. It is likely to be ineffective, and it almost certainly hurts the poor. As an alternative, climate policy should focus on adaptation in least developed countries and for more advanced ones on preventing carbon-lock in effects by disruptive green investments.

Title
Pour faire écologie ensemble, quel avenir pour le militantisme environnemental et l’écologie politique ? To go green together, what future for environmental activism and political ecology?
Abstract
We are currently in a “strange transition”, announced but not yet begun, which locks us into a painful in-between period of history. In this period of uncertainty, how can we build ecological transformation? And what’s the point of committing oneself when one feels that one’s effort are insufficient? To do this, we need a theory of change through which action can be taken, building up individual commitments to achieve collective change.

Title: Feedback and cooperation: An Experiment on sorting behaviour (Noémi Berlin, Mamadou Gueye, Stéphanie Monjon)
Abstract: In this paper, we use a laboratory experiment to analyze the effect of information provision (feedback) on individual sorting behavior. To be effective, sorting must be a mixture of quantity and quality. However, increasing quantity may reduce quality due to the increasing risk of contamination. We consider a two-stage coordination game in which individuals first choose whether or not to participate in the sorting activity, and then complete a collective sorting task. The performance, a mixture of quantity and quality, of their sorting is measured. In this situation, information about the partner’s past performance and information about one’s own past performance are used as feedback treatments. Using a between-subjects experimental design, we find that providing feedback about own performance to an individual who decides to engage in a sorting activity is more efficient than not providing information and than providing information about the partner’s performance. Although the experiment is uncontextualised, the results have direct consequences on any situations implying an individual decisions in a collective task (e.g. waste sorting behavior).
