TL;DR: In this paper, the Clean Development Mechanism is represented as a sector emissions trading scheme and the authors develop a novel approach that represents the clean development mechanism more realistically by compensating the implementing sectors for additional abatement cost and by endogenizing clean development mechanisms credits as a function of investment.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the effects of a unilaterally introduced carbon tax on structural change induced by environmental taxation and find that aggregate losses in economies of scale are larger than aggregate gains, implying that the total costs of environmental regulation are higher under imperfect competition than under perfect competition.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a general equilibrium analysis of CO2 taxes in a low carbon economy without nuclear energy and show that compliance with stringent CO2 constraints requires high CO2 tax on economic activities which are not eligible for international emissions trading; meanwhile, electricity consumers are burdened with substantial electricity taxes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the insights of an Energy Modeling Forum study on the magnitude and distribution of economic adjustment costs to greenhouse gas emission constraints in the aftermath of the Paris Agreement where countries voluntarily committed themselves to Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).
