Conference "Economic stakes of the 2015 Paris Climate Conference" CEC - TSE - CEPS
2015-10-13 | Université Paris Dauphine
With the support of :

In the context of the Paris Climate conference in December 2015, the Climate Economics Chair (CEC) of Paris-Dauphine University, the Center for European Policy Studies (CEPS) and Toulouse School of Economics (TSE) launched a common approach for mobilizing economists, to emphasize the role of economic instruments and carbon pricing in any international agreement.

This joint initiative led to 3 highlights :
– The launching Conference that took place on June 4, 2015,

– The Economists’ Call “Routes to an ambitious and credible agreement in Paris”, signed by more than 140 economists (visit the website dedicated to the Economists’ Call) and :

– The Joint conference “Economic stakes of the Paris Climate Conference” on October 14, 2015

The conference of 14 October 2015 brought together a dozen of international economists to discuss how economic principles could be applied in the implementation of an international climate agreement.

FLM #151 : Carbon Dating: When is it beneficial to link ETSs?, Baran Doda

Carbon Dating: When is it beneficial to link ETSs?

Abstract
This paper proposes a simple framework to evaluate the economic advantage of regulating carbon emissions by linking the emissions trading systems (ETSs) of two jurisdictions versus operating them under autarky. The ETSs are linked if the permits issued in one, and traded competitively across both, can be surrendered against emissions in the other. The paper’s main innovation is in analyzing the sensitivity of aggregate and jurisdiction-specific economic advantage to the characteristics of the jurisdictions, in particular the uncertainty affecting the benefits of emissions. We decompose the economic advantage of linking into pair size, volatility and dependence effects. We show that when jurisdictions are ex ante identical and there are no tax distortions or sunk costs, the aggregate economic advantage is always non-negative and equally shared. It increases in pair size and in volatilities of jurisdiction-specific shocks but decreases in their correlation. In other words, there are only good and better links. With differences in ETS size the economic advantage is not equally shared, and the smaller jurisdiction receives a larger share. That is, linking partners may not value the link equally. When we additionally introduce sunk costs of linking, one jurisdiction may prefer an ETS under autarky to linking even when aggregate economic advantage is positive. A similar conclusion emerges with unilateral tax distortions affecting international permit trade. In an empirical application, we calibrate shock characteristics to the observed fluctuations in data from the world’s 20 largest emitters and document substantial variation in economic advantage and its components.

FLM #152 : Assessing stakeholder support for different biofuel options in France by 2030, Gino Baudry
2015-11-06 11:30 - 13:00 | Palais Brongniart (4e étage), 28 Place de la Bourse, Paris, 75002, France
Assessing stakeholder support for different biofuel options in France by 2030: a range based Multi-Actor Multi-Criteria model
Presentation by Gino Baudry (Nantes University, LEMNA & GEPEA) of his work wo-written with Cathy Macharis and Thomas Vallée.
Abstract

Over the years, biofuel deployment was successively an agricultural support, an energy independence objective and finally environmental and bioeconomy issues, i.e. superposition of policies with complex interactions between heterogeneous stakeholdes groups (feedstock and biofuel producers, refineries, fuel distributors, end users, car manufacturers, government and NGOs). This paper aims to apply a participatory framework to assess the stakeholders’ support and to design implementation pathways for several biofuel options by 2030.

FLM #153 : The European Union Emissions Trading System and The Market Stability Reserve

The European Union Emissions Trading System and The Market Stability Reserve : Optimal Dynamic Supply Adjustment
Presentation by Luca Taschini (London School of Economics, Grantham Research Institute) of his article written with Sascha Kollenberg (University of Duisburg-Essen)
Abstract :The supply of allowances in the European Union Emissions Trading System is determined within a rigid allocation programme. A reform of the EU ETS intends to make allowances allocation flexible and contingent on the state of the system. We model the emissions market under adjustable allowance supply in a stochastic partial equilibrium framework and obtain closed form solutions for its dynamics. The model considers a supply control mechanism contingent on the number of allocated and unused allowances, as suggested by the European Commission. We derive analytical dependencies between the allowance allocation adjustment rate and the market equilibrium dynamics, which allows us to represent the quantity thresholds as quantiles for the number of allocated and unused allowances. Finally, we present an analytical tool for the selection of an optimal adjustment rate under both risk-neutrality and risk-aversion. We thereby provide an analytical foundation for the regulator’s decision-making in the context of the EU ETS reform and give a novel perspective on the mechanism’s overall design.

Présentation par Vincent Thivierge (Associé de recherche à la Commission de l’écofiscalité du Canada et au think tank Sustainable Prosperity de l’Université d’Ottawa) de son dernier papier
Résumé : Cet article étudie l’impact de la taxe carbone en Colombie Britannique, Canada, sur la consommation des ménages en carburants pour véhicules. Nous utilisons les microdonnées confidentielles de l’Enquête sur les dépenses des ménages de Statistique Canada de 2001 à 2012. Nous estimons d’abord l’impact global en exploitant l’augmentation annuelle de son taux de 2008 à 2012. Grâce aux données détaillées, nous pouvons contrôler des facteurs ignorés dans la littérature, tels que des investissements massifs en transports publics ou encore le risque d’achats transfrontaliers aux États-Unis. Nous estimons aussi les comportements hétérogènes des ménages face à cette politique en l’interagissant avec leur lieu de résidence, nombre et type de véhicule.
