This study uses a CGE model to assess K-ETS design options for Korea's 2030 NDC, focusing on higher auctioning and regulating indirect emissions. Raising auction share boosts GDP and welfare when revenue recycles via labor tax cuts, especia…

This study decouples the cost and equity assessment of decarbonisation from carbon pricing by developing scenarios independent of carbon pricing. It finds that while macroeconomic costs stem mainly from system transition, the distributional…

Yoshida O.

This paper examines Japan's emissions trading scheme approaches in relation to the international climate change regime. It analyzes how domestic carbon pricing design interacts with global frameworks, highlighting tensions and alignments. D…

This paper examines Uzbekistan's strategic shift from Kyoto Protocol top-down structures to the Paris Agreement's bottom-up framework. It positions Article 6 mechanisms, notably the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) with Japan, as key tools f…

Le H.

A firm-level empirical study examining how carbon pricing affects corporate GHG emissions in East Asia. It contributes micro-level evidence on whether carbon pricing drives emission reductions and how it shapes firm behavior. Findings are r…

Xiao Y.

This study uses a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model to assess how carbon pricing affects Japan's transport sector. It quantifies economy-wide and sectoral impacts on emissions, costs, and resource allocation, offering direct eviden…

Yang X.

This study empirically assesses how the Saitama Emissions Trading Scheme—Japan's first regional ETS—affected facility-level energy consumption and economic performance. Using facility-level data, it tests whether a subnational carbon pricin…

This study assesses India's readiness for its new regulatory carbon market, targeting net-zero by 2070. It reviews prior frameworks (PAT, RECs), institutional and monitoring roles, and compares EU and China market structures to identify opp…

Liu X.

This paper examines the role of carbon pricing in achieving Japan's net-zero targets, analyzing policy design and challenges, and offering recommendations.

This study explores the potential of using the J-Credit scheme to certify methane emission reductions from extended mid-summer drainage in paddy fields, combined with ICT-based monitoring and management. It suggests a pathway for carbon cre…

Hu J.L.

This study empirically examines the effect of internal carbon pricing (ICP) on carbon emission efficiency using Japanese company data. It suggests that firms adopting ICP tend to improve emission efficiency compared to non-adopters, providi…

Tomohiro Kuwae

This study introduces the concept of 'trust inflation' in carbon credit markets, where eligibility rules are interpreted as assurance of credit integrity beyond what evidence and governance support. This can substitute for independent asses…

Besstremyannaya G.

This paper analyzes the impact of carbon tax and research subsidies on Japan's economic growth. It highlights the importance of well-designed policies, suggesting that appropriate subsidies can mitigate the negative effects of carbon taxati…

Yada K

This study quantitatively examines the economic and distributional impacts of converting Japan's fossil fuel taxes into a pure upstream carbon tax, focusing on household consumption by income decile and region. Under a high-rate carbon tax …

This paper quantitatively analyzes the marginal CO2 abatement cost and reduction potential for electric power companies. It estimates emission reduction curves based on data and identifies cost-effective measures. Provides insights for deca…

Cao L.

This study surveys Japanese citizens' willingness to pay for a carbon tax, providing insights into public acceptance and policy design. The findings inform carbon pricing feasibility.

Kobayashi H.

This paper analyzes the role of carbon pricing in Japan's GX (Green Transformation) and renewable energy deployment, with comparisons to the United States. It likely offers policy insights and practical implications.

Satoshi Honma

This study analyzes the impact of carbon pricing policies on emissions reduction in Japan. It highlights effectiveness and challenges, offering insights for future carbon pricing design.

Yasuo Takao

This paper examines Tokyo's Cap-and-Trade System (TCTS), the world's first mandatory urban carbon market, analyzing its institutional effectiveness and governance implications over 15 years. The TCTS achieved significant emissions reduction…
