Hybrid carbon incentive mechanisms and political acceptability

Abstract: This paper analyses how hybrid systems of carbon taxes and tradeable permits optimize some conflicting dimensions of political acceptability related to the design of these instruments. Pure systems like taxes without exemptions or auctioned tradeable permits cause problems for political acceptability in open economies due to high overall costs (abatement cost plus payments on the tax or auctions) for current polluters. Unfortunately, pure systems based on grandfathering of emission rights across the board do n… Show more

“…However, preserving these jobs is found to be costly. i Several studies find that a modest share of the welfare gain generated by imposing uniform energy taxation orremoving existing tax exemptions is lost when subsidy and transfer schemes are used to preserve equity values in the energy industry, rather than preserving employment; see Bovenberg and Goulder (2001) for the US case, Vollebergh et al (1997) for the EU case, and Bjertnaes and Faehn (2008) for the Norwegian case.…”

“…As Hintermann [9] has shown, permit allocation even below the one proposed by Hahn [6] may lead to negative consequences on permit markets when power on markets for final goods is considered. Even if perfect markets are assumed, governments may carefully use the instrument of free allocation because of resulting welfare transfers from consumers to producers, also called windfall profits [2,16,5,8]. Dependent on the principles that allocation decisions are based on, the risk of generating perverse incentives for regulated firms might exist [12].…”

“…Die overeenkomst dient geloofwaardig en handhaafbaar te zijn. Daarbij is ook een punt van aandacht dat de initiële verdeling en de uiteindelijke allocatie alleen in theorie onafhankelijk van elkaar zijn (Vollebergh et al 1997; zie ook tekstbox 2.3).…”
