This paper analyzes the role of sovereign green bonds (SGBs) and the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS) in financing India's net-zero transition by 2070. It reviews policy developments including the 2026 Union Budget allocations for CCUS a…

Bilal Çayır, Onur Yeni

This paper empirically examines how energy costs, environmental policy, and path dependency influence clean and dirty energy patenting across 17 European countries (2000–2020). Higher energy prices boost clean innovation, but dirty innovati…

This paper analyzes how China's emission trading scheme (ETS) reshapes decarbonization pathways in the power sector. It suggests the ETS accelerates the transition from coal to renewables, though carbon price volatility introduces investmen…

MAAROUF, Mariem, KHARISS, Mohamed

This paper analyzes the extent to which green taxation, especially carbon taxation, can serve as a lever for ecological transition in Morocco. Based on a theoretical approach and an overview of the Moroccan tax system, it recommends gradual…

This study develops a hybrid deep learning model (VMD-Attention-GRU) to forecast carbon price volatility in China's ETS, integrating a novel Innovation-Driven Policy Index from policy document analysis and a Green Investment Threshold. The …

Yue Lyu

Proposes a Threshold-regulated Policy Framework (TPF) using blockchain-AI fusion to resolve the building sector's 'Policy-Carbon Paradox.' Identifies two critical carbon price thresholds ($120/tCO2 and $200/tCO2) and demonstrates a blockcha…

This review explores the integration of Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) into carbon markets, covering voluntary, quasi-compliance, and compliance mechanisms. It finds that permanent CDR deployment requires compliance markets and targeted polic…

Perdana, Sigit, Vielle, Marc

This study analyzes the distributional impacts of the EU's second Emissions Trading System (ETS-2) on households across 1160 European regions. Using household survey data and economic modeling, it finds that a projected €100/ton CO2 price b…

This study assesses CBAM's impact on Pakistan's power sector using OSeMOSYS. It finds that domestic carbon pricing at EU ETS parity induces no shift in generation mix due to high marginal abatement costs. CBAM exposure grows from $35 millio…

Svabic, Dimitrije

This study analyzes how the EU ETS influenced electricity generation composition from 1990 to 2023 using a Difference-in-Differences framework. It examines baseline treatment effects and exploits heterogeneity in carbon intensity to show ho…

Duttilo, Pierdomenico, Lisi, Francesco

This paper investigates the carbon cost pass-through rate (CPTR) in the Italian electricity market under the EU ETS from 2016-2024. Using a regression model with autoregressive dynamics, it finds incomplete pass-through at around 30% nation…

Travis Wagher, Joshua Mitchell

This paper investigates the adoption of carbon pricing policies across U.S. states, using data from 2005-2020. It identifies factors that increase adoption likelihood, such as political landscape and interest groups, and finds overlap with …

Aydin, Asli, Acar, Sevil

This study analyzes the sectoral impacts of the EU ETS using panel data from 1995-2020. It finds that ETS coverage negatively affects value added and gross output but does not significantly reduce GHG emissions. Free allowances are insuffic…
