▼ The problem of pollution is not going away. As global Gross Domestic Product (GDP)rises, so does pollution. Due to the existence of environmental externalities, pollutingfirms lack the incentive to abate their pollution, and without regulations, markets do notadequately control pollution. While regulators are responsible for enacting regulations, thefirms ultimately determine the environmental outcomes through their production decisions.Furthermore, polluting industries are typically large and concentrated, raising the concernthat market power may be present in these industries. In this dissertation, we study theinteractions between powerful, strategic, firms operating under pollution regulations andthe regulator when markets are imperfectly competitive.An important contribution of this work is our integrated pollution-production model,which incorporates the firms’ emissions, abatement technologies, the damage from pollution,and three widely-used regulatory mechanisms–Cap, Cap-and-Trade, and Tax. The firmscompete with each other and control prices by setting their production quantities. In ourmodel, the firms have many options to comply with the pollution constraints enforced bythe regulator, including abating pollution, reducing output, trading in emission allowances,paying emission taxes, investing in abatement innovations, colluding, and combining someof these options. Following the introduction in Chapter 1, we address three broad questionsin three separate chapters.• Chapter 2: What is the e↵ect of the pollution control mechanisms on firms, consumers,and society as a whole? Which mechanisms and policies should regulators use tocontrol pollution in a fair, e↵ective, and practical manner?• Chapter 3: Does Cap-and-Trade enable collusion? If it does, what are the e↵ects ofcollusion?• Chapter 4: Which mechanisms encourage more investments in abatement innovations?Our results apply to di↵erent types of pollutants and market structures. Our researchprovides guidelines for both policy-makers and regulated firms.

Uppsatsen omfattar EU:s handel med utsläppsrätter och hur denna typ av lagstiftning påverkar företag inom olika industriella verksamheter. Genom en kvalitativ enkätstudie tillfrågades olika företag varav tre stora och två mindre inom verksamheterna järn- och stålindustrin, mineralindustrin samt metallindustrin. För att undersöka företagens syn på hur väl handel med utsläppsrätter fungerar för att minska EU:s klimatpåverkan genomfördes en analys baserad på passiva synteser och perspektivet av ekologisk modernisering på den insamlade empirin. Vi kom fram till att de svenska företagen som vi har undersökt anpassat sig efter EU ETS på olika sätt beroende på mängden tillgångar i form av resurser men även kostnader i form av utgifter. Nackdelarna med systemet påverkar främst de mindre företagen tillsammans med stora finansiella utgifter i form av byråkrati och resurskostnader. Ytterligare konsekvenser avser konkurrenskraft för företag som finns inom systemet i förhållande till de som står utanför. Fördelarna omfattar moment av ekonomisk styrning samt att systemet till viss del är drivande för investeringar i företagens klimatarbete. För att utveckling av cap-and-trade system ska fungera krävs det att ekonomisk utveckling, reducerade utsläpp och kreativa anpassningsmetoder går hand i hand. Klimatförändringarna presenterar därför en unik utmaning för utvecklingen av ekonomiska styrmedel i bekämpningen av utsläpp inom industrier.

The thesis covers the EU's emissions trading and how this type of legislation affects companies in various industrial activities. Through a qualitative survey, various companies were consulted, of which three were large and two smaller in the iron and steel industry, the mineral industry and the metal industry. To examine the companies' view of how well trading in emission rights works to reduce the EU's climate impact, an analysis was carried out based on passive syntheses and the perspective of ecological modernization on the collected empirical data. We concluded that the Swedish companies that we have examined adapted to the EU ETS in different ways depending on the amount of assets in the form of resources, but also costs in the form of expenses. The disadvantages of the system mainly affect the smaller companies together with large financial expenses in the form of bureaucracy and resource costs. Further consequences relate to the competitiveness of companies that are within the system in relation to those who are outside. The benefits include elements of economic governance and that the system is to some extent a driving force for investments in the companies' climate work. In order for the development of cap-and-trade systems to work, it is necessary that economic development, reduced emissions and creative adaptation methods go hand in hand. Climate change therefore presents a unique challenge for the development of economic instruments in the fight against emissions within industries.

Previsões alarmantes sobre o futuro do clima no planeta têm feito os debates sobre políticas climáticas virem à tona com mais vigor nos últimos anos. Nesse contexto, os países desenvolvidos, principalmente, tentam mobilizar-se à procura de mecanismos efetivos para frear os desdobramentos da ação humana sobre o clima. Mas essas medidas devem ter impactos, por meio do comércio internacional, em países que não acordaram dividir as responsabilidades do controle de emissões. Em particular, o Brasil possui papel relevante nas discussões sobre políticas climáticas, devido a aspectos como matriz energética com ênfase em fontes renováveis, produção comercial de biocombustíveis e riqueza em estoques de carbono na forma de vegetação natural. Assim, o presente trabalho pretende investigar os efeitos diretos e indiretos sobre a economia brasileira advindos de políticas climáticas prováveis de serem adotadas. A metodologia a ser utilizada baseia-se na modelagem de equilíbrio geral aplicado, considerando as especificidades da economia brasileira. Os resultados apontam que, sob a perspectiva de produção comercial de bicombustível, o Brasil se coloca como principal produtor, diminuindo sua produção de etanol, que é para uso interno, e direcionando-se para o comércio internacional do substituto não-poluente do petróleo. Conclui-se, também, que a produção comercial de biocombustível se coloca como uma armadilha para a economia de um país, em especial o Brasil, aproveitando-se dos recursos econômicos disponíveis em detrimento do consumo interno e prejudicando também o investimento em outras atividades econômicas. Para os demais países do mundo, entretanto, a possível comercialização de biocombustíveis é benéfica por desonerar as políticas climáticas.

Alarming predictions on the global climate future has been making the climate policies discussions come along more vigorously the latest years. On this context, developed countries especially are trying to get themselves together looking for effective mechanisms to curb the consequences of human actions upon the weather. But these measures must impact, by international trade, on countries that have not agreed to share the burdens of emissions control. Particularly, Brazil has a relevant role on climate policies discussions, due to aspects like its energetic matrix with emphasis on renewable energy, its tradable production of biofuels and its rich carbon stocks in natural vegetation. So this work intends to investigate the direct and indirect impacts on Brazilian economy from possible implementation of climate policies. The methodology is based on applied general equilibrium modeling, considering the specificities of the Brazilian economy. The results point that under the perspective of biofuel commercial production, Brazil becomes the main producer, diminishing its production of ethanol for its own use, and moving toward international trade of the non-pollutant oil substitute. One can either conclude that the biofuel commercial production is a trap for economy of a country, especially…

▼ This dissertation presents novel realizations in balancing the economical and environmental constraints in an energy intense world using: process network synthesis, energetic process enhancement concepts, carbon dioxide utilization and the deployment of renewable energy resources. Such balance is achieved through effective control and planning over resources and conditions. The mathematical optimization framework developed in this body of work can be found in chapters 1 and 2 while their applications are developed in chapters 3 and 4. Chapter 1, introduce for the first time the Infinite Dimensional State-Space (IDEAS) based synthesis of reactor networks featuring multiple residence time distribution (MRTD) models in chapter 1. IDEAS is shown to be applicable to the MRTD synthesis problem containing a combination of Plug Flow reactor (PFR), Continuous Stirred-Tank Reactor (CSTR) and Segregated Laminar Flow Reactor (SLFR). The formulation which synthesis reactor networks featuring multiple residence time distribution (MRTD) guarantees global optimality through IDEAS based properties. Case studies featuring the Trambouze reaction scheme are carried out using the different reactor combinations and multiple selectivity and economical constraints.Chapter 2, presents for the first time a design and synthesize framework for the minimum number of units reactor networks with multiple Residence time density functions of diffrent reactor types using the Infinite Dimensional State-Space (IDEAS) method. The works combines the usage of Plug Flow Reactor (PFR) and Continuous Stirred-Tank Reactor (CSTR) in constructing the reactor networks using an IDEAS based Mixed Integer Linear Programing (MILP) formulation. Case studies featuring the Trambouze reaction scheme are carried out based on multiple process specification. This work expands the real life application potential of the work presented in chapter 1.In chapter 3, the newly developed concept of process energetics is applied to Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) to overcome the highly endothermic load challenge. The resulting process termed Energetically Enhanced Steam Methane Reforming (EESMR) is a non combustion process which means that the process related GHG emissions will receive favorable treatment in national carbon pricing programs. Chapter 4 presents an energetically self-sufficient process with zero carbon dioxide emissions for the production of electricity and chemicals from natural gas. The choice of product can be made based on environmental and economical constraints explained within the chapter. Natural Gas Chemical Power System (NGCPS) provides flexibility of choice when it comes to producing electricity, formic acid and hydrogen. The work further covers the environmental impact of thermochemical cycles in power production.

▼ This dissertation is comprised of three chapters, each of which contributes to the field of behavioral finance. Two of the chapters focus on topics in environmental economics and the third on U.S. household finance. All of the papers analyze the incentives and behavior of individuals (or firms in the case of the first chapter) to provide insight into macro phenomena."The Effects of Carbon Markets on Equity Prices and Volatility" uses a firm-level dataset of carbon assets and liabilities between 2005 and 2007 to examine the impact of volatile carbon prices on equity prices. I find that the changes to firms' market capitalizations during a period of falling carbon prices are explained by the change in the net present value of emission permit holdings. Equity prices respond to changes in the mark-to-market value of firms' carbon permit shortfalls or surpluses and carbon price volatility increases the volatility of equity prices. I also document considerable delays in the equity and options markets responses to developments in carbon markets and attribute these lagged responses to information constraints and the novelty of carbon markets."Outstanding Debt and the Household Portfolio," co-written with my classmate Reza Shabani, alters a simple portfolio choice model to allow households to retire outstanding debt and realize a risk-free rate of return equal to the interest rate on that debt. Using the Survey of Consumer Finances we find that households with mortgage debt are 10 percent less likely to own stocks and 37 percent less likely to own bonds compared to similar households with no outstanding mortgage debt. To show that our results are not driven by irrational behavior amongst a subset of households, we construct two proxy variables for financial naivete. Finally we calculate the costs of non-optimal investment decisions in the presence of various forms of household debt including mortgages, home equity loans and credit card debt. We find that 26 percent of households should forego equity market participation on account of the high interest rates that they pay on their debt."Crude Drilling: An Analysis of Incentives and Behavior in the Oil Industry During the 1860s" explains why rates of oil extraction in the nascent oil industry far exceeded the profit maximizing levels predicted by the economic theory of non-renewable resources. The analysis combines historical narrative accounts with property sale and lease data and information on oil well owners to explain how individual incentives led to aggregate over-drilling. In particular, I focus on the incentives of under-capitalized wildcat drillers as an explanation for the excessive waste and under-investment that characterized the early oil market. I find that these poorer prospectors were incentivized to extract oil at higher than optimal rates because of the characteristics of their property lease contracts and the low-cost drilling technology they used to bore exploratory wells. Low barriers to entry in the early oil drilling business led to an influx of wildcat…

▼ Growing concern over greenhouse gas emissions has prompted research on identifying means to control and reduce these emissions. In transportation, vehicle emissions are strongly correlated with driver behaviour. Research relating driving behaviour with emissions uses driving cycles that are assumed to be constant regardless of vehicle type for a specific area. Using a single driving cycle, however, is simplistic for emission estimation purposes as there is significant variance in the driving behaviour of different vehicle types on various road types. In this research, microsimulation models are used to generate road and vehicle specific driving cycles to improve emission estimation. Typically, the calibration of microsimulation models are carried out using vehicle counts and average speed of vehicles. A genetic algorithm is used to show that calibrating these models against acceleration data in addition to average speed and vehicle count would provide a more accurate representation of driver behaviour. This claim is validated by comparing simulation results with observed values of different parameters related to driving behaviour. The model is then used to create improved driving cycles for various types of vehicles on different types of roads. Use of simulation allows data to be collected under consistent traffic conditions for all vehicle and road types. It is also shown that using simulated driving cycles produces emission factors that are closer to the observed compared to the average speed model. Finally, as a demonstration of the application of these driving cycles, a green routing problem has been used as a test case. The test case uses the developed driving cycles to optimize the routes of a hypothetical delivery company to minimize their emissions and costs under various circumstances incorporating the effect of vehicle load in estimating emissions. Results show statistically significant differences in total distance travelled, driving time, and CO2-eq emitted as the result of different minimization criteria of distance-, time-, and emissions optimal. It is also shown that by using the proposed approach, insightful analysis of emissions under various policies of cap-and-trade vs. carbon taxing can be conducted with good accuracy without requiring technology changes or other investments, which may be expensive.

▼ This thesis consists of three essays investigating dishonest behaviour on various levels of energy consumers, polluting firms, verifiers and regulators, and measures to overcome them through regulatory frameworks. The first two essays report experimental studies examining the effects of reward and rotation regimes on reducing dishonest behaviour and improving the effect of emissions regulation. The third essay theoretically explores the misrepresentation behaviour of energy consumers in installing subsidised energy-efficient technologies. In the first essay, I report an experimental study in which the problem of untruthful reporting in environmental regulation regimes where a polluting firm self-reports its emissions is assessed. To enhance honest behaviour, an independent verifier verifies the report, and in addition, an official may randomly check the verified report. Most emissions trading schemes allow polluting firms to select and pay the verifier, which may lead to a conflict of interest that brings about competition among verifiers, and thus may promote untruthful reporting. I study the effects of different reward schemes on enhancing truthful reporting. The results show that rewarding verifiers is more cost effective than rewarding officials, as the latter leads to unnecessary inspections.The second essay is an extension of the preceding essay and allows for corruption. Given the high potential gains from untruthful reporting, both verifiers and officials might be corruptible. In this context, I explore how rotation affects the degree of untruthful reporting in a baseline of fixed matching and three rotation treatments. The results show that rotating both verifiers and officials leads to the most significant reductions in untruthful reporting, while rotating only officials has some significant effect and rotating only verifiers does not have any effect for the specific chosen parameters. In the third essay, I theoretically study the additionality of energy savings in a white certificate scheme. Additionality means that the energy savings are caused by actions beyond what would have occurred in the absence of the policy. I develop a model that explore the reasons for non-additional energy savings, and provide remedies to reduce the size of the non-additional energy savings.

▼ The objective of this study is to restrict the emission of greenhouse gasses by investigating if this objective would be reached by the implementation of a tax. Global warming is caused by the emission of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. In order to restrict global warming it is necessary for individuals and entities to act in a more environmentally friendly manner and to emit less greenhouse gasses. A further objective of this study is to investigate various measures that can be used as an incentive to restrict the emission of greenhouse gasses. This study found that the main emitters of greenhouse gasses are power stations, industries and the transport sector. This study will therefore focus on the reduction of greenhouse gasses in these areas. The way to identify methods used to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, is to investigate the techniques that first world countries use to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, to judge the level of success they achieved and to compare their methods to the definition of a “good tax”. It was found that “cap-and-trade” is a better model than carbon tax for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by power stations and industries. It was also found that a combination between a tax on fuel and a tax calculated on greenhouse gas emissions per kilometre for each individual vehicle will result in the greatest reduction in the emission of greenhouse gasses produced by the transportation sector. AFRIKAANS : Die doelwit van hierdie studie is om die vrystelling van groenhuis uitlaatgasse te beperk deur ondersoek in te stel of die doelwit bereik kan word deur die implementering van 'n belasting. Globale aardverwarming word veroorsaak deur 'n oormaat vrystelling van groenhuisgasse in die atmosfeer. Om globale aardverwarming te beperk, sal individue, sowel as entiteite, meer omgewingsvriendelik moet optree deur minder groenhuisgasse vry te stel. 'n Verdere doelwit van hierdie studie is om verskeie metodes, insluitende belasting, te ondersoek waardeur die vrystelling van groenhuisgasse verminder kan word. In die studie is vasgestel dat kragstasies, industrieë en vervoerstelsels die hoofvrystellers van groenhuisgasse is. Die fokus van die studie is dus gerig op die vermindering van groenhuisgasvrystelling spesifiek in hierdie areas. Die wyse om metodes, wat gebruik word om groenhuisgasvrystellings te verminder, te identifiseer, is om die tegnieke wat in eerste wêreldlande gebruik word te ondersoek, om die vlak van sukses wat daarmee bereik word, te bepaal en om daardie metodes teen die definisie van 'n “goeie belasting” te toets. Daar is gevind dat “uitlaatgas handel” 'n beter model is as koolstofdioksiedbelasting ten einde 'n vermindering van groenhuisgasvrystellings deur kragstasies en industrieë te bewerkstellig. Daar is ook gevind dat ‘n kombinasie van ‘n belasting op brandstof en ‘n belasting bereken op groenhuisgasvrystellings per kilometer van elke individuele voertuig die grootste vermindering in groenhuisgasvrystellings in die vervoerstelsel sal meebring.

▼ This dissertation consists of three studies analyzing the challenges of mechanism design in the context of environmental regulation. Each study focuses on the unanticipated outcomes that arise due to behavioral responses by agents subject to a particular policy instrument.In Chapter 1, I analyze the welfare consequences of post-allocation resale for a class of mechanisms that are commonly used to allocate goods. When initial allocations are inefficient, agents will often organize secondary markets to facilitate redistribution. If these agents are forward-looking, their actions to influence the primary allocation and participation in the secondary market will be interdependent. I study how interdependence affects predictions about strategic behavior and welfare in a model of the first-price all-pay auction with two bidders with asymmetric private-value distributions. Asymmetric value distributions commonly generate inefficient allocations, which motivates my analysis of resale. Resale occurs via a take-it-or- leave-it offer made by the auction winner - a best response, given the losing bidder's private value remains unknown. Adding a resale stage increases expected revenue in the auction stage, where opportunity for post-auction trade motivates the stronger bidder to bid less aggressively and the weaker bidder to bid more aggressively - each of which are forms of rent-seeking. Somewhat surprisingly, the mutual incentive to rent-seek causes the equilibrium bidding strategies and bid distributions to converge. These results suggest that models of strategic interactions that conclude in an inefficient allocation, when resale can produce a Pareto improvement, may provide less accurate predictions about equilibrium behavior than what has previously been believed. Moreover, models where the initial allocation mechanism relies on costly effort (e.g. lobbying) to allocate rents may understate the social cost of the initial allocation.In Chapter 2, my co-authors and I study the implications of alternative forms of cap-and-trade regulations on the California electricity market. Specific focus is given to the implementation of a downstream form of regulation known as the first- deliverer policy. Under this policy, importers (i.e. first-deliverers) of electricity into California are responsible for the emissions associated with the power plants from which the power originated, even if those plants are physically located outside of California. We find that, absent strict non-economic barriers to changing import patterns, such policies are extremely vulnerable to reshuffling of imported resources. The net impact implies that the first-deliverer policies will be only marginally more effective than a conventional source-based regulation.In Chapter 3, I evaluate the effectiveness of a regional environmental policy targeting local air pollution from the transportation sector. In the United States, air pollution from light-duty vehicles is controlled via new-vehicle emissions standards complemented by inspection and maintenance…

Die fokus van die studie is dus gerig op die vermindering van groenhuisgasvrystelling spesifiek in hierdie areas. Die wyse om metodes, wat gebruik word om groenhuisgasvrystellings te verminder, te identifiseer, is om die tegnieke wat in eerste wêreldlande gebruik word te ondersoek, om die vlak van sukses wat daarmee bereik word, te bepaal en om daardie metodes teen die definisie van 'n “goeie belasting” te toets. Daar is gevind dat “uitlaatgas handel” 'n beter model is as koolstofdioksiedbelasting ten einde 'n vermindering van groenhuisgasvrystellings deur kragstasies en industrieë te bewerkstellig. Daar is ook gevind dat ‘n kombinasie van ‘n belasting op brandstof en ‘n belasting bereken op groenhuisgasvrystellings per kilometer van elke individuele voertuig die grootste vermindering in groenhuisgasvrystellings in die vervoerstelsel sal meebring.

▼ It is widely recognized that climate change poses a serious challenge to the field of public health due to the changing frequency and severity of impacts faced by local communities, however, addressing climate change provides the opportunity to implement solutions that build healthy, equitable, and climate-resilient communities. The public health sector works closely with local governments and community partners to address health inequities of environmental change by developing and implementing policies and programs that prioritize health, and often these activities align with climate mitigation and adaptation measures. Local health departments (LHDs) are often at the front lines working with communities disproportionately affected by climate change, therefore the public health sector has a critical role to play in advancing and mobilizing support for health-based climate change strategies that improve health outcomes, address inequities, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. California’s strategy to reinvest cap-and-trade funds into climate change mitigation and adaptation activities, known as the California Climate Investments (CCI), offers a significant opportunity for the public health sector to integrate health consideration into local climate mitigation and adaptation efforts, however, there has been limited public health sector engagement at the local level. The work presented here evaluates the CCI through a public health practice lens to identify opportunities to increase LHD engagement in the CCI at the local level to ensure that climate action strategies integrate public health consideration and promote environmental health equity. The first section provides a critical review of the literature on climate change vulnerability assessment frameworks to examine the potential climate change-related health impacts within the context of Los Angeles County to inform climate change adaptation planning. The next sections focus on the CCI to identify opportunities to increase LHD engagement and integrate public health consideration in the implementation of CCI funded projects. First, selected CCI program guidelines and publicly available documents were coded and analyzed to examine the programmatic alignment between CCI program requirements and foundational LHD activities to identify opportunities for LHDs to engage and actively support partner organizations. Next, interviews were conducted with selected LHD personnel and key respondents to identify best practices of LHD engagement in urban greening and community forestry initiatives funded through the CCI. Document analysis and interviews demonstrated that there are opportunities for LHD engagement, however, barriers exist. Lack of information about LHD eligible to apply, limited requirements for LHD engagement, and insufficient awareness of LHDs about the CCI limit public health sector engagement at the local level. Recommendations to address these barriers include increasing outreach to LHDs, establishing a more robust role for LHDs, increasing the climate…

▼ Climate change policy at the national and international level has met with significant resistance, and sub-national cap and trade programs in the United States are being implemented in their stead. However, these sub-national policies face significant inefficiencies because they must “imperfectly” map cap and trade programs onto a small subsector of a nationally connected economy. Policymakers cannot avoid the expense of extensive administrative resources upfront to battle such inefficiencies without sacrificing the program’s structural and environmental integrity once in operation. This is demonstrated in this paper through an analysis of policies to battle emissions leakage in the electricity sector, where increased electricity prices under the sub-national cap and trade program could cause increased use of dirtier, cheaper electricity generation outside of the cap. Emissions leakage is an unfortunate but important consequence of overlaying a cap and trade program on top of an extremely interconnected national electricity grid. The amount of resources expended to create policy that anticipates emissions leakage issues must be determined through a difficult and value-laden balancing of administrative efficiency and environmental integrity, and should be guided by precaution. This is especially true because the sub-national policymakers are creating climate change programs in the face of significant jurisdictional, efficiency, and technical hurdles. Two case studies are specifically highlighted in examining emissions leakage policies for sub-national programs: The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (“RGGI”) and California’s Proposed Regulation to Implement a California Cap and Trade Program. RGGI’s usage of a passive approach to emissions leakage policy is contrasted against California’s proactive, resource-intensive approach. The paper uses these case studies to help guide a sub-national policymaker’s decisionmaking process by highlighting the difficulties inherent for a sub-national program, the precaution requisite in balancing administrative resources against environmental integrity, and the possible consequences of a passive versus proactive approach to emission leakage.

▼ In recent decades, climate change has become one of the most crucial challenges for humanity. Climate change has a direct correlation with global warming, caused mainly by the green house gas emissions (GHG). The Environmental Protection Agency in the U.S. (EPA) attributes carbon dioxide to account for approximately 82% of the GHG emissions. Unfortunately, the energy sector is the main producer of carbon dioxide, with China and the U.S. as the highest emitters. Therefore, there is a strong (positive) correlation between energy production, global warming, and climate change. Stringent carbon emissions reduction targets have been established in order to reduce the impacts of GHG. Achieving these emissions reduction goals will require implementation of policies like as cap-and-trade and carbon taxes, together with transformation of the electricity grid into a smarter system with high green energy penetration. However, the consideration of policies solely in view of carbon emissions reduction may adversely impact other market outcomes such as electricity prices and consumption. In this dissertation, a two-layer mathematical-statistical framework is presented, that serves to develop carbon policies to reduce emissions level while minimizing the negative impacts on other market outcomes. The bottom layer of the two layer model comprises a bi-level optimization problem. The top layer comprises a statistical model and a Pareto analysis. Two related but different problems are studied under this methodology. The first problem looks into the design of cap-and-trade policies for deregulated electricity markets that satisfy the interest of different market constituents. Via the second problem, it is demonstrated how the framework can be used to obtain levels of carbon emissions reduction while minimizing the negative impact on electricity demand and maximizing green penetration from microgrids. In the aforementioned studies, forecasts for electricity prices and production cost are considered. This, this dissertation also presents anew forecast model that can be easily integrated in the two-layer framework. It is demonstrated in this dissertation that the proposed framework can be utilized by policy-makers, power companies, consumers, and market regulators in developing emissions policy decisions, bidding strategies, market regulations, and electricity dispatch strategies.

Ph.D. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2013.

This dissertation is comprised of three essays on energy and environmental economics. The first two essays of this dissertation examine sectoral energy consumption in the State of Hawaiʻi. My first essay focuses on the intermediate demand for energy consumption by economic sectors. I model Hawaiʻi's economy in a computable general equilibrium (CGE) framework and follow the footprint of efficiency improvement in the economy by looking at the energy flows in Hawaiʻi's economy. Assuming a "free" technological change becoming available to firms, this essay ranks the economic sectors with respect to their saving potential. While there are currently some energy efficiency rules and incentives in place, this essay provides insights to design alternative sector-specific energy efficiency policies that could help to achieve the State's goals. My results identify hotels, construction, accommodations, restaurants, and retail trade as the key sectors to be targeted for a successful sector-specific energy efficiency program. The above-mentioned sectors together comprise 56% of total potential reduction in energy use and GHG emissions in Hawaiʻi's economy. In the second essay, I turn my attention to final energy consumers, contributing toward the understanding of electricity and fuel use associated with residents and visitors of Hawaiʻi. Using an Input-Output model, I analyze the difference in total energy consumption – both direct purchases and indirect demand for energy through purchases of other goods and services – of residents and visitors. I run the same analysis using both 2007 and 1997 data set to compare the consumption pattern change over time. My results show that on a per-capita basis, residents tend to consume more electricity through spending on health services, real estate rentals, professional services, and trade, while top visitor electricity-intensive expenditures include hotel, restaurants, trade (shopping), and tourism services (museums, tours and travel agencies). The results for 1997 and 2007 show a remarkable difference between residents and visitors: while total demand for fuels and electricity increased by 18% and 33%, respectively, for residents, they both fell by 4% and 9%, respectively, for visitors. Adjusting for population change, per-capita results reveal the same pattern but different magnitudes. Therefore, I conclude that the tourism industry has improved efficiency in both fuel and electricity usages by decreasing energy intensity of their activities over the observed decade. During the observed 10-year period, energy-use visitor factor dropped for fuel from 3.5 to 2.5 (a 28% drop) and for electricity from 2.4 to 1.5 (a 38% drop). Finally, to assess the underlying driving forces influencing the observed changes in energy consumption in Hawaiʻi, I used a decomposition methodology to explain the changes in sectoral energy demand between 1997 and 2007 in terms of activity, structure, and intensity effects. The findings indicate that the activity effect…

▼ One of the most promising technologies for net atmospheric carbon removal is biomass pyrolysis. Biomass pyrolysis is the thermal decomposition of organic material in the absence of oxygen. It is generally endothermic but it results in high energy syngas, a liquid bio-oil and biochar, a carbonaceous material which when added to soil stimulates plant growth. Here, the economic potential of small-scale pyrolysis in the neo-tropical developing world is investigated using a net present value framework. Biomass costs are estimated using waste biomass, jaragua grass, short-rotation woody crops, and biomass from artificial wetland systems in Costa Rica. Costs are computed with and without consideration of the environmental services associated with the modeled systems. When environmental services are appropriately valued, the costs of biomass from artificial wetland systems becomes negative; that is, operators of artificial wetlands used for water services would be expected to pay for biomass harvesting. Using the computed biomass costs, pyrolysis system costs are computed for fast and slow pyrolysis and compared to gasification. Fast and slow pyrolysis systems break even at carbon credit prices exceeding 0-5 $/ton, but gasification systems do not break even under most realistic assumption sets. The emergetic costs of pyrolysis systems are also evaluated. Emergy is a measure of the energy and resources required to produce a product, and can be considered a theoretical alternative monetary or accounting system that allows for a more holistic valuation of goods and services than either an exchange (money) or value (exergy) system. The results indicate that the transformities (or emergetic efficiency) of pyrolysis production systems using waste biomass are similar or less than those of geochemical hydrocarbon production systems. Since geologic fossil fuel production is emergetically efficient, this result is promising and suggests that unlike other biomass based alternative energy systems (e.g. ethanol), pyrolysis may be ecologically beneficial when measured holistically. Pyrolysis is a carbon negative technology (i.e. it creates a long term carbon sink) which creates the potential for a cap and trade system in which there is differentiation between carbon neutral and carbon negative credits. The economics of such a system are discussed.

▼ Since 2006 California has been pursuing the most ambitious climate change policy in the United States, implementing a suite of greenhouse gas reduction measures ranging from automobile refrigerant disposal rules to clean energy standards for electric power utilities. The most significant of these measures is the creation of a cap‐and‐trade program. Through this program, regulators seek to create a knowable price‐signal to incentivize emissions reductions among polluters. Using a suite of ethnographic methods, this dissertation looks at the people, ideas, and institutions that have been mobilized in the creation of California’s cap‐and‐ trade program. Substantively, the dissertation engages with three key aspects of the program. First, the way that economic theory is deployed in the creation of the rules of exchange, and how that theory is made to take a compromised but still structuring role in light of the political pressures on regulators in writing the rules of exchange in financial representations of greenhouse gases. Second, the dissertation examines the diverse values, economic and non‐economic, in play during the creation of financial representations of greenhouse gases; and third, the environmental and social justice ramifications of structuring an emissions reduction program around the motivation of doing so at the lowest possible cost to polluters. Theoretically, this dissertation is informed by political ecology on the commodification of nature, commodity theory drawn from economic geography and political economy, and sociological theories of economic practice primarily originating from the social studies of finance. The conclusion of the dissertation is that the result of countless hours of work by regulators and their interlocutors is a suite of market‐like mechanisms that ultimately function more like the administrative tool that environmental markets’ early advocates envisioned rather than the full‐blown financialization of the atmosphere, though with potentially detrimental environmental impacts for vulnerable communities.

▼ Chapter 1: A Monte Carlo Approach ❧ The use of auctions to distribute tradeable property rights to firms in already heavily concentrated markets may further exacerbate the problems of market power that exist within those markets. This chapter provides a model of a two-stage emissions market modeled after a contemporary regional permit trading market in the United States, the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, Inc. (RGGI). It then introduces Oligopsony 1.0, a C# software package constructed in the .NET environment that simulates uniform-price auctions using stochastic Monte Carlo simulation for modeling market power in tradeable property rights auctions. Monte Carlo methods add a probabilistic element to standard auction theoretic equilibria. The results of these simulations indicate that there can be significant non-linearities between profit and market power as exercised through strategic demand reduction. This analysis finds the optimum point of strategic demand reduction that enables the firm to exploit these non-linearities, and it determines the probability distributions of these optima using kernel density analysis. ❧ Chapter 2: An Experimental Approach ❧ How will emerging auction-based emissions markets function within the context of today’s deregulated auction-based electricity markets? This chapter provides an experimental analysis of a joint energy-emissions market. The impact of market power and collusion among dominant firms is evaluated to determine the extent to which an auction-based tradeable permit market influences performance in an adjacent electricity market. The experimental treatment design controls for a variety of real-world institutional features, including variable demand, permit banking, inter-temporal (multi-round) dynamics, a tightening cap, and resale. Results suggest that the exercise of market power significantly increases electricity auction clearing prices, without significantly increasing emissions auction clearing prices, and in some cases, even significantly suppresses them. The institution of auction-based carbon markets in the already-concentrated energy sector can further strengthen the market position of dominant firms who can leverage energy-emissions market linkages to their operational advantage. ❧ Chapter 3: Regulatory Mechanisms and Policy Approaches ❧ Contemporary deregulated electricity markets are defined by a complex array of multi-settlement markets, with additional market-based mechanisms designed, to a large extent, to limit the exercise of market power by dominant firms. On top of the already complex nature of these markets, policymakers are also adding market-based mechanisms to curtail greenhouse gases. Key linkages exist between electricity and emissions markets that may be utilized by dominant firms. This chapter provides an analysis of three specific policy mechanisms that are utilized in contemporary markets to effectively reduce the incentive of dominant firms to exercise market power. These include convergence bidding, consignment auctions and multilevel… Advisors/Committee Members: Mazmanian, Daniel A. (Committee Chair), Rose, Adam Z.

▼ This thesis studies market demand and supply in the voluntary forest carbon markets. The first section focuses on demand and provides an overview about the market mechanisms, buyer’s reasons to buy credits, and current demand in the markets. Supply will be studied with supply-chain approach. Supply-chain is a system moving a product or service from supplier to customer. The supply-chain section is divided into three parts. The first part finds out whether or not forests have the ability to sequester carbon and what kind of forest projects there has been. It also introduces the processes in which forest carbon credits are issued. The second part focuses on certification and verification schemes. Third part presents market places and the actors involved in carbon credit trading. Carbon markets will be evaluated on foreign and domestic basis. The aim of this thesis is to find out how well the voluntary carbon markets meet the conditions of perfect competition. The theory is based on the theory of competitive market structure and the price mechanism, where demand equals supply at the equilibrium price and quantity. The equilibrium should be found automatically within a perfectly competitive market when buyers and sellers interact. The empirical part of the study examines carbon credit issuance, project processes, certification and markets. The research questions are: 1. Do markets have infinite buyers and sellers? 2. Are products homogenous? 3. Do consumers and producers have perfect knowledge of price, utility, quality and production methods? 4. Is it easy to enter or exit the markets? The thesis is based on literature. Standards, marketplaces, and projects that were selected to the study were chosen according to the popularity based on market volume or forest-related characters. The research approach is qualitative. The collected data was analysed using content analysis. Economics and market theory form the theoretical basis of the analysis. Classification of the data is based on the theoretical framework. According to the theories a loose framework was formed to allow data reduction. Framework divides demand and supply-chain into separate parts. Research question number one is examined using a demand section. Research questions numbers 2-4 are examined using supply-chain sections. The study resulted in a conclusion that voluntary forest markets do not meet the conditions of perfect competition. Voluntary forest carbon markets are not perfectly competitive. Instead markets are uncompetitive where commodities are heterogeneous. There is only limited amount of forest projects and forestry based credits. Unit price is set to match the cost, in which case it is not determined by the market. Price-setting is possible because it is possible to differentiate projects. Imperfect competition in the market remains for mobility obstacles between markets have been set. Credit certified under certain standard, are not generally acceptable to another standard. The study results support the findings of studies…

▼ Every country should have a moral responsibility to sanction its residents in a bid to curb the effects of global warming. South Africa has a unique economic and social set-up which has to be considered in crafting a policy and legislation or designing an environmental tax regime. The objective of this study was to analyse the current incentives for environmental taxes as contained in the Income Tax Act and provide recommendations on proposed changes to the existing incentives. In addition, it compares and establishes what South Africa can learn and adapt from Malaysia and Denmark, two countries who have successfully implemented environmental taxes and renewable energy incentives. It also explores the arguments for and against carbon tax (tax mechanism system) in South Africa on the energy intensive sector. The study continues to consider what the prospects are of achieving this purpose and the possible adverse impact it may have on the operating profits of energy-intensive companies. Carbon tax may result in a substantial elimination of tax contributions, a massive reduction in exports and major retrenchment and job losses, given the ever rising electricity tariff. There is much debate as to whether a cap-and-trade system would be preferable to a tax mechanism system, therefore the pros and cons of both systems are addressed and both systems’ sustainable positive and negative impacts are compared. This study explored the shortcomings of South Africa’s environmental tax laws by comparing them to the environmental tax regimes and the different incentives and tax rebates offered by Malaysia and Denmark to reduce emissions. The study firstly concluded that positive encouragement through incentivising green behaviour is preferable to a punitive tax mechanism given the fact that South Africa is still growing its economy. Therefore the introduction of a carbon tax would significantly reduce company profits, may result in unemployment and a substantial reduction in exports especially if it is not gradually introduced at a minimum charge given South Africa’s volatile labour and trade union nature. Secondly, if South Africa eventually decides to introduce carbon tax, it should emulate the Danish system that is taxing the industrial emission of carbon and earmark that income for industrial subsides and investment in greener sources of energy.

La traite des esclaves à Madagascar a provoqué de changements importants tout au long du XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles, aussi bien sur le plan politique, qu’économique et social. Les Néerlandais et les Français, présents à la colonie du Cap et aux Mascareignes étaient des acteurs de taille dans ces interactions commerciales complexes et symboliques. Des transformations sont perceptibles dès les premiers contacts, non seulement au sein des grands royaumes sakalava et betsimisaraka mais également jusqu’aux régions les plus recluses. Pourtant, les relations commerciales se complexifient dans la longue durée. En effet, une certaine continuité est identifiable sur toute la période étudiée. Le commerce maritime qui jouait un rôle primordial dans ces développements, concernait riz, bétail et captifs échangés contre piastres, armes à feu et toiles. Il a bouleversé la balance des pouvoirs et l’économie de la Grande Île. Le volume de la traite, calculé à partir de centaines d’expéditions néerlandaise et française, était déjà très substantiel avant le milieu du XVIIIe siècle.

The slave trade on Madagascar provoked important changes in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, both politically, economically and socially. The Dutch and the French, present on Cape Colony and the Mascarene Islands, were important players in these commercial, but complex and symbolic, interactions. The transformations are detectable from the first contact onwards, not only in the great kingdoms of Sakalava and Betsimisaraka but also in the most secluded areas. However, commercial relations complexified in the longue durée. Indeed, a certain continuity is identifiable during this entire period. The maritime commerce, which played a primary role in these developments, concerned rice, cattle and slaves bartered for Spanish dollars, firearms and textiles. The slave trade disturbed the balance of powers and the economy of the Big Island. The volume of the trade, calculated from hundreds expeditions done by the Dutch and the French, was already very substantial before the middle of the eighteenth century.
