“…Anger and Oberndorfer (2008) use a sample of German firms to assess the impact of the EU ETS on firm performance and employment. Martin et al (2009) analyze the effect of the energy tax and the climate change levy on firms in the UK manufacturing sector. Marklund (2010, 2012a) study the CO2 tax effect on profit technical efficiency directly, and through its impact on emissions, in Swedish manufacturing industries.…”

“…As an example, the current 'leader' in climate change political debate and main responsible of the northern EU TP in the CKC, the UK, is experiencing a minor 0.5% cuts per year after having exploited the above mentioned benefits of the economy reshuffling towards 38 services and 'dash for gas' options. The partial failure, in terms of expected carbon cuts, of the UK climate change levy (associated to the CCA related 'agreements') may call for new stricter policies (Martin et al, 2009). France is thinking about a carbon tax on top of the noteworthy EU ETS scheme.…”

SummaryWe study the eventual structural differences of climate change leading 'actors' such as Northern EU countries, and 'lagging actors' -southern EU countries and the 'Umbrella group' -with regard to long run carbon-income relationships. Parametric and semi parametric panel models show that the groups of countries that were in the Kyoto arena less in favour of stringent climate policy, have yet to experience a turning point, though they at least show relative delinking in their monotonic carbon-income relationship. Northern EU instead robustly shows bell shapes across models, which seem to depend on time related (policy) events. Time related effects are more relevant than income effects in explaining the occurrence of robust Kuznets curves. The reaction of northern EU to exogenous policy events such as the 1992 climate change convention that gave earth to the Kyoto era, and even the second oil shock that preceded it in the 80's are among the causes of the observed structural differences.

“…For example, Quirion and Hourcade (2004) show that an EU carbon tax in energy intensive sectors, without any recycling, would have lower impact on firms' marginal costs than inter-annual exchange rate variations. Econometric analysis from the UK, using a natural random experiment with a control and trial group of firms, show that the Climate Change Levy had a positive impact on energy intensity but fail to see any negative effect on firm performance (Martin et al 2011). In Section 3.3.2.1. below we discuss the potential positive competitiveness impacts of environmental regulation.…”
