Stranded Nations? The Climate Policy Implications for Fossil Fuel-Rich Developing Countries
Developing countries rich in fossil-fuels face a unique challenge posed by climate change. They seek to extract fossil fuels at a time when the global community must reduce carbon emissions.…
Buy Coal or Kick-Start Green Innovation? Energy Policies in an Open Economy
This paper analyses two unilateral policies available to countries that want to rapidly curb carbon emissions in the global economy, but do not own any fossil fuel resources. If fossil fuel owners do…
Fuel subsidies and carbon emission: evidence from asymmetric modelling
TLDR
It is revealed that fuel subsidy removal inversely relates to Nigeria’s carbon emission in the short run and long run and the study recommends a complementary policy option that ensures additional financial savings to the government should be invested in public sector growth that can cushion the effect of relative income loss to the citizenry.
Why the Global Energy Transition Does Not Mean the End of the Petrostate
The world going low carbon is believed to put an end to petrostates, and to force incumbent oil pro‐ ducers to diversify their economies away from fossil fuels. This article challenges this…
