S'appuyant sur l'expérience norvégienne en matière de véhicules décarbonés, les auteurs analysent le plan hydrogène lancé par Nicolas Hulot quand il était ministre de la transition écologique et solidaire et dressent plusieurs recommandations.

In this paper we model the EU-ETS in presence of the Market Stability Reserve (MSR) as it is defined by that decision and investigate the impact that such a measure has in terms of permits price, output production and banking strategies. Our main finding is that the MSR succeeds in increasing the permits' price...

This working paper analyzes the impact of indirect network effects in the deployment of zero emission vehicles in a static partial equilibrium model.

We introduce a theoretical framework for the analysis of competition between a traditional and a renewable generator in a spot electricity market where the electricity from renewable sources is always the first to be dispatched.

La Chaire Energie et Prospérité a organisé son troisième workshop sur la mobilité durable les 9 et 10 novembre 2017. Retrouvez dans cet article un résumé des interventions (en anglais) ainsi que toutes les présentations réalisées pendant le workshop.

Output-based allocations (OBAs) are typically used in emission trading schemes to mitigate leakage in sectors at risk. Recent work has shown they may also help to stabilize prices in markets subject to supply and demand shocks. We extend previous work to simultaneously include both leakage and volatility.

The paper studies pollution permit markets in which a fraction of permits are allocated to firms based on their output. Output-based allocations, which are receiving increasing attention in the design of carbon markets around the world are shown to be optimal under demand and supply volatility despite the output distortions they may create. 

Réalisé avec Jean-Pierre Ponssard, le Cahier de l'ILB est consacré à la mobilité durable. Il  aborde des sujets aussi divers que l'impact des restriction de conduite sur la pollution urbaine, l'intérêt du véhicules à hydrogène ou l'importance des régulations pour développer l'innovation en matière de mobilité.

Social pressure can help overcome the free rider problem associated with public good provision. In the social norms literature concerned with the private provision of public goods there seems to be an implicit belief that it is best to have all agents adhere to the ‘good’ social norm. We challenge this view and study...

Published in Energy Policy - Vol 104 - May 2017. We study the importance in terms of CO2 emissions the extra amount of energy necessary to cover losses. With this purpose we use Spanish market and system data with hourly frequency from 2011 to 2013. Our results show that indeed electricity losses significantly...
