The effects of alternative carbon mitigation policies on Japanese industries

An Evaluation of Japanese Environmental Regulations

“…However, input-output models (IO models) are used to analyze the short-term burden of such policies (Sugino et al 2013;Watanabe 2009;Shimoda and Watanabe 2006;Fujikawa 2002). However, input-output models (IO models) are used to analyze the short-term burden of such policies (Sugino et al 2013;Watanabe 2009;Shimoda and Watanabe 2006;Fujikawa 2002).…”

The energy price equivalence of carbon taxes and emissions trading—Theory and evidence

“…The actually situations of implementing carbon taxes and emissions trading in different countries have been introduced and analyzed by Sugino et al [22], Pollitt et al [23], Jotzo and Löschel [24], Crossland et al [25], Liu and Lu [13], WorldBank [26]. For instance, UK has participated in EU Emission Trading Scheme (ETS) since 2005 while a carbon price floor (CPF) to tax on fossil fuels used for power generation with US$ 15.75 per ton of CO 2 emission was introduced in 2013.…”

Electricity-savings pressure and electricity-savings potential among China’s inter-provincial manufacturing sectors

“…The distorted low price of electricity will gain a long-term rise, which will make electricity-savings mandatory in industrial sectors. Additionally, the increasing electricity price has not only brought different kinds of operating cost pressures to manufacturing sectors [3], but also has become a driving force to reduce direct and indirect electricity costs embodied in input factors as well as electricity demand through upgrading technology. However, the provincial resource endowments and industrial structures in China have their differences.…”
