Environmental research joint ventures and time-consistent emission tax
Ouchida, Yasunori; Goto, Daisaku - 2014
This paper presents an examination of the socially efficient formation of environmental R&D in Cournot duopoly in a setting where a regulator has no precommitment ability for an emission tax. The results reveal that if the environmental damage is slight, alternatively, given severe environmental...

The effects of expert selection, elicitation design, and R&D assumptions on experts' estimates of the future costs of photovoltaics
Verdlolini, Elena; Anadon, Laura Diaz; Lu, Jiaqi; … - 2015
Expert elicitations of future energy technology costs can improve energy policy design by explicitly characterizing uncertainty. However, the recent proliferation of expert elicitation studies raises questions about the reliability and comparability of the results. In this paper, we standardize...
