Estimating the Marginal Abatement Cost Curve of CO2 Emissions in China: Provincial Panel Data Analysis
This paper estimates the Marginal Abatement Cost Curve (MACC) of CO2 emissions in China based on a provincial panel for the period of 2001-2010. The provincial marginal abatement cost (MAC) of CO2 emissions is estimated using a parameterized directional output distance function. Four types of model specifications are applied to fit the MAC-carbon intensity pairs. The optimal specification contr...
متن کاملCarbon Emissions Abatement Cost in China: Provincial Panel Data Analysis
This paper employs the quadratic directional output distance function to derive shadow prices of China’s aggregate carbon emissions at the province level between 1997 and 2010. The empirical results indicate that the national weighted average shadow price presents an “N-shape” curve across the sample period, experiencing the initial phase of growth followed by a phase of deterioration, and then...
متن کاملWind Power Development in China: An Assessment of Provincial Policies
Wind energy has become a fast growing industry in China in the last decade. The development of the wind energy industry presents interesting policy questions. In the context of China, in additional to national energy policies, provincial policies were designed and implemented to stimulate the growth of wind power. This paper examines factors, especially provincial wind energy policies, in drivi...
متن کاملA Cost Benefit Analysis of Wind Power
Concern over global warming has led policy makers worldwide to accept the importance of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. As wind generation does not itself create any harmful emissions, policy makers often promote it as a means of reducing national emission levels while also meeting renewable obligations. In fact, wind generation has been the fastest growing form of renewable energy in Europe...
متن کاملMarginal Abatement Cost of CO2 in China Based on Directional Distance Function: An Industry Perspective
Industrial sectors account for around 70% of the total energy-related CO2 emissions in China. It is of great importance to measure the potential for CO2 emissions reduction and calculate the carbon price in industrial sectors covered in the Emissions Trading Scheme and carbon tax. This paper employs the directional distance function to calculate the marginal abatement costs of CO2 emissions dur...
