A cap-and-trade system with free allowances may worsen firm composition by acting as a subsidy and reallocating production resources across sectors, allowing less productive firms to remain operative. This effect can distort the allocation of emission permits, leading to a higher emissions per unit of output in the economy than when environmental regulations are absent. To analyze the role of this effect, we develop a general equilibrium model that incorporates firm heterogeneity, input–output linkages, and green technology innovation. This framework allows us to evaluate how cap-and-trade policies shape firm composition, innovation incentives, and emission allocation across firms. We then calibrate the model to the EU Emissions Trading System and conduct simulations to evaluate the effects of its planned phase-out of free allowances. Our results show that the removal of free allowances, either partially or fully, substantially improves firm composition, enhances innovations and emission efficiency. Under the existing allowance allocations, a cap-and-trade system results in a higher economy-wide emission intensity than an unregulated economy, despite lowering total emissions. Our simulations show that properly phasing out free allowances reverses this effect, primarily through improved firm composition.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11665,"journal":{"name":"Energy Economics","volume":"145 ","pages":"Article 108410"},"PeriodicalIF":13.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143817197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using comprehensive analytics, this study illuminates the twin effects of energy use on economic growth vis-à-vis sustainability through theoretical frameworks typified by the load capacity curve and environmental Kuznets curve hypotheses. Using the data of 39 Sub-Saharan African countries in panel dynamic fixed effect quantile ARDL (Autoregressive Distributed Lag) with Fourier function. The study supports U-shaped energy intensity effects on carbon intensity, which is flipped to an inverted U-shape via the moderating role of natural capital productivity capacity, thus contributing to decoupling the energy–carbon emissions relationship. The controlling factors included electrification, development, and industrialization levels in the sample countries where development contributes in decarbonization while others lead to demand-led carbonization. The analysis conducted in this paper not only pursues the scale effect of energy in aiding growth but also supports sustainability through the energy transition and energy conservation. The findings reveal that the decarbonization pathway does not necessarily require a fall in energy intensity but rather the expansion of natural capital productivity that can contribute to environmental development. Policymakers can optimize the decarbonization‑leading energy use and productivity investment portfolio using the developed model.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11665,"journal":{"name":"Energy Economics","volume":"145 ","pages":"Article 108484"},"PeriodicalIF":13.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143825852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, various conflicts may arise during policy implementation, and public acceptance can vary significantly depending on how policies are designed to address these challenges. This study investigates public preferences for coal phase-out policies in South Korea using a discrete choice experiment and simulates the acceptance rates of different policy options based on these preferences. Policy attributes included in the choice experiment are the capacity of decommissioned coal-fired power plants, plant locations, the utilization plan of idle power plant sites, the remaining period until decommissioning, labor conversion rates, and monthly electricity bill increases. Preference analysis indicates that the public prefers decommissioning coal-fired power plants located in the East Sea region and repurposing them into renewable energy power plants. Our simulation analysis reveals that, due to the differing electricity cost increases under each repurposing option, public acceptance declines as decommissioned capacity increases when power plants are repurposed into renewable energy facilities or LNG-combined cycle plants, whereas acceptance of cultural complexes rises. This study further simulates public acceptance for 15 coal-fired power plants in various location and determines the phase-out preference ranking for each plant. Lastly, higher labor conversion rates among the coal workforce can enhance public acceptance of the coal phase-out policy. Overall findings of this study highlight the importance of designing coal phase-out policies that account for economic and social aspects to ensure a balanced and effective just transition.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11665,"journal":{"name":"Energy Economics","volume":"145 ","pages":"Article 108453"},"PeriodicalIF":13.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143829781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we examine the influence of oil prices on key clean energy mineral prices by employing quantile and wavelet approaches. The main empirical results are as follows. First, the quantile cointegration test reveals a long-term equilibrium between oil and energy mineral prices, indicating that oil price changes influence these prices over time. Second, the quantile causality test shows that oil price changes significantly affect key energy mineral prices, particularly in tranquil markets. However, under the extreme conditions of energy mineral markets, this influence is generally insignificant, except for cobalt and manganese. Third, oil prices show stronger long-term positive correlations with most energy minerals, except cobalt, lithium, manganese, and rare earth elements, whose prices are shaped by renewable energy transitions, inefficiencies, and reliance on long-term contracts. Policymakers, investors, and companies can use these insights for risk management and strategic planning of clean/renewable energy projects.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11665,"journal":{"name":"Energy Economics","volume":"145 ","pages":"Article 108461"},"PeriodicalIF":13.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143790992","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
