This paper analyzes the impact of the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) on Algeria's hydrocarbon exports. It examines the legal framework and WTO compliance, finding the economic impact limited to about 0.2% of GDP, but concent…

Huanrui Ma, Sheng Wang

As the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) fully takes effect in 2026, China faces rising export costs and industrial competitiveness challenges. This study uses a CGE model and structural decomposition analysis to simulate a por…

Zhaolin Chen, Jie Yu

This paper proposes a low-carbon scheduling model for virtual power plants (VPPs) that integrates electricity-carbon coupling and demand response. A coupling coefficient embeds carbon cost into time-of-use pricing, and a ladder carbon tradi…

Survey evidence shows manufacturers respond positively to the EU carbon price but seek reassurance on policy direction and stringency. The EU ETS is effective, but most industrial decarbonization remains to be achieved.

This paper analyzes the EU ETS compensation scheme for indirect carbon costs, finding that while the ETS price signal reduces production and increases electricity efficiency, compensation can counteract these effects by boosting production …

Hao Wang, Woraphon Yamaka

This systematic review of 40 studies examines how the EU ETS drives green innovation, finding that impact depends on a stable carbon price above €25-30/t, sophisticated design like auctioning, and synergistic policy mixes including R&D subs…

Using data from 1990-2024, this paper empirically compares the CO2 reduction effects of carbon taxes (CT) and emissions trading schemes (ETS). ETS shows significant reduction, while CT's long-term effect is statistically insignificant. Prov…

This paper addresses the impact of carbon pricing on power system planning and operation under China's dual carbon goals. It proposes an asymmetric pricing model for planning and a decentralized optimization using Stackelberg game and ADMM …

Yang Li, Jing Liao, H P Wang

This study develops a hybrid Coupled Electricity-enterprise Production-carbon market (CEP) model integrating electricity generation, enterprise production, and carbon market mechanisms. It simulates policy adjustments (e.g., carbon quota al…

This study examines how economic policy uncertainty and energy justice moderate the impact of carbon taxation on GHG emissions across 39 OECD countries from 1990-2024. Using System GMM and other robust methods, it finds that carbon taxes ef…

This study proposes an integrated optimization model for green supply chain network design under heterogeneous carbon regulations (cap and tax). It minimizes cost and emissions while maximizing customer service level, validated through nume…

This study uses a 200-year forest economic simulation to compare business-as-usual roundwood production with a forest set-aside (carbon farming) scenario in beech-dominated forests. Additional carbon sequestration under set-aside reaches 74…

This paper provides a systematic sensitivity analysis of border carbon adjustments (BCA) using a large-scale computable general equilibrium model. It examines how BCA design, price responsiveness, and initial heterogeneities across countrie…

This study identifies institutional bottlenecks hindering blue carbon marketization in developing countries, constructing a five-dimensional framework integrating Complex Adaptive Systems, Coase's Property Rights Theory, and the IAD framewo…

Xin Zou, Annah Lake Zhu, Qinhong Wu

This paper examines China's experiments with carbon markets and nature-based solutions within the framework of building a global Ecological Civilization. It analyzes policy mobilities and how these environmental policies are adapted and tra…

Diyi Liu, Junteng Liu, Tong Feng

This study quantifies the dual benefits of China's first voluntary personal carbon trading program, analyzing emission reductions, air quality improvements, and health benefits. It evaluates the positive impacts of personal-level carbon tra…

Ling Tang, Yan Huang, Hui Yu +3

This study examines the joint effect of China's Emission Trading Scheme (ETS) and Energy Consumption Permit Trading Scheme (ECPTS) on emission reduction using city-level data from 2008-2020. Employing a difference-in-difference approach wit…

Zhonghua Cheng, Yanhao Yang, Xueqin Yan

This paper empirically analyzes the impact of China's carbon emissions trading scheme on corporate green total factor productivity (GTFP), examining whether the policy introduction contributes to GTFP improvement.

Shiqun Ma, Chao Feng, Haiying Liu

This paper empirically analyzes the impact of China's carbon emissions trading scheme (ETS) on biodiversity, evaluating policy spillover effects and suggesting synergies between climate action and ecosystem conservation.
