The Technology Path to Deep Greenhouse Gas Emissions Cuts by 2050: The Pivotal Role of Electricity

TL;DR: It is found that technically feasible levels of energy efficiency and decarbonized energy supply alone are not sufficient; widespread electrification of transportation and other sectors is required.

Carbon markets 15 years after Kyoto: Lessons learned, new challenges

TL;DR: The emerging market architecture as mentioned in this paper features separate emissions trading systems serving distinct jurisdictions and a variety of other types of policies exist alongside the carbon markets, which is in sharp contrast to the top-down, integrated global trading architecture envisioned 15 years ago by the designers of the Kyoto Protocol.

Designing Border Carbon Adjustments for Enhanced Climate Action

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive analysis of border carbon adjustments and a way to design them that balances legal, administrative, and environmental considerations is proposed, with the goal of mitigating carbon leakage.

Developing Guidance for Implementing Border Carbon Adjustments: Lessons, Cautions, and Research Needs from the Literature

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a border carbon adjustment (BCLA) scheme for carbon pricing in the US, which would benefit domestic industries and offshoring emissions-intensive activities.

A global meta‐analysis of forest bioenergy greenhouse gas emission accounting studies

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify and prioritize those attributes of bioenergy greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions analysis that are most influential on the length of carbon payback period and demonstrate that evaluation criteria consistency is required to facilitate equitable comparison between projects.

Moving to Greener Pastures? Multinationals and the Pollution Haven Hypothesis

TL;DR: This paper examined the pattern of foreign investment in four developing countries (Cote d'Ivoire, Mexico, Morocco, and Venezuela) and found that foreign plants in these four countries are significantly more energy-efficient and use cleaner types of energy than their domestic counterparts.

Moving to Greener Pastures? Multinationals and the Pollution-Haven Hypothesis

TL;DR: Eskeland and Harrison as mentioned in this paper examined the behavior of multinationals doing business in four developing countries, testing whether there is any tendency for foreign firms to pollute more or less than their host-country counterparts.

Turning on the Lights: A Meta-Analysis of Residential Electricity Demand Elasticities

TL;DR: In this article, price and income elasticities of residential demand for electricity from previous studies are used as the dependent variables, with data characteristics, model structure, and estimation technique as independent variables, using both least square estimation of a semilog model and maximum likelihood estimation of gamma model.
