This paper appraises Germany's greenhouse gas mitigation quota (THG-Quote) as a tradable performance standard for decarbonizing the transport sector, discussing the economic efficiency and design challenges of this policy instrument.

de Saillan C.

This paper analyzes the U.S. court decision upholding EPA's regulation of greenhouse gas emissions. It examines the legal basis and scope of administrative climate regulation, highlighting a landmark case that shaped U.S. climate policy.

Tianyi Cheng

This study examines how pre-existing data-intensive conditions influence the PM2.5 reduction outcomes of China's low-carbon city pilot policy. It highlights the role of baseline data conditions in driving heterogeneous policy effects, offer…

Lei Wang, Xiaohan Zhao

This study evaluates China's Low-Carbon City Pilot Policy (LCCPP) using a multi-period difference-in-differences model covering 276 Chinese cities from 2007 to 2023. The results show that LCCPP significantly improves urban carbon productivi…
