Goulder","doi":"10.1080/17538963.2023.2246714","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/17538963.2023.2246714","url":null,"abstract":"A carbon emission trading system (ETS) is a market-based policy instrument to combat climate change. It internalizes the societal cost of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and thereby creates incentives for emission reductions through changes in production methods and levels of production as well as investments in low-carbon technologies. ETSs are an important and much-employed alternative to emissions taxes (such as a carbon tax) as an instrument for bringing about reductions in CO2 emissions. Under an emissions tax, the government sets the price of a unit of emissions – this is the tax rate – and the quantity of emissions is determined by the market, that is, by firms’ and consumers’ responses to the tax. In contrast, under an ETS, the government influences emissions through its decisions affecting the number of emissions allowances to be allocated to firms; the price of emissions is determined by the market, not directly by the government. A key feature of an ETS is the provision for allowance trading. If the market price of emissions allowances is below a firm’s marginal cost of reducing its emissions, a competitive firm will have an incentive to purchase additional allowances and thereby avoid some of the cost of reducing its emissions. The reverse is the case for a firm for which the market price of allowances is above its marginal cost of abatement. In the presence of allowance trading, the firm’s ultimate (end-of-period) allocation of allowances, plus (minus) any allowances it purchases (sells) on the trading market, must be at least enough to justify its emissions during the period. The price of allowances is an equilibrium outcome of the allowance supply and demand. Allowance trading helps reduce the economy-wide costs of achieving emissions reductions by bringing about more abatement by the facilities that can do so at lower cost.","PeriodicalId":45279,"journal":{"name":"China Economic Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41372542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Transiting from the fossil fuel dominating power system to a renewable dominating system requires both the technology progress and the institutional changes. The total direct investment cost of China’s power system decarbonization is estimated to be about 67.6 trillion yuan, which consists of new wind and solar power capacity, energy storage facilities, and transmission lines. The electricity storage technology is the key factor to affect the transitional costs. Meanwhile, institutional changes are needed to adapt to the high penetration of wind and solar to cope with the new challenges the renewable brings, namely the flexibility, adequacy and affordability. China’s market-oriented reform should move to the direction of establishing a real unified national market system to achieve the integration of high percentage of renewables.","PeriodicalId":45279,"journal":{"name":"China Economic Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45249038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, the paper strengthens that a decrease in population and a significant slowdown in urbanization will significantly reduce the construction demand, the main driver for high growth of carbon emissions in China, and provide a relatively favorable economic environment for China to achieve carbon peaking by 2030.

Afforestation and reforestation expand forest cover, sustainable forest management increases forest productivity, and substituting carbon-intensive materials with wood products avoids the CO2 emitted in the production processes of these materials. In terms of these activities, we estimate that China’s total forest carbon sequestration potential will reach 2.4 billion tons of CO2 in 2050.

Leveraging comprehensive firm-level panel data spanning the period 2011–2015, we employ a parameterized directional output distance function to estimate the shadow price of CO2. By doing so, we derive the marginal abatement cost for individual firms across different years, which provides crucial insights into two fundamental aspects: first, the variation in shadow prices as indicators of the economic efficiency of existing climate policies; and second, the carbon price levels necessary to achieve CO2 mitigation targets in the future. Furthermore, we conduct scenario simulations to assess the potential industrial output loss resulting from forthcoming carbon policies, such as the European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). Our findings underscore the necessity for a considerably higher tax rate to stimulate pollution reduction in order to meet the desired emission targets.","PeriodicalId":45279,"journal":{"name":"China Economic Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42438106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Russia–Ukraine conflict will further accelerate the diversification and fragmentation of the IMS. But it might also lead to revolutionary changes such as balkanization of the IMS and even the end of financial globalization. Diversification of reserve currency could alleviate the imbalance and inadequacy problems of the IMS, restraining the dollar weaponization to some extent, but could not solve the problem of incoordination.
