The Rebound Effects from Industrial Energy Efficiency Improvements
In energy policy, energy efficiency constitutes a central element in reducing domestic and, specifically, industrial en-ergy use. Unfortunately, the effectiveness of energy efficiency improvements in achieving its targets is known to be limited by rebound ...
EPFL2022Price-based regulation of oligopolistic markets under discrete choice models of demand
Michel Bierlaire, Virginie Janine Camille Lurkin, Stefano Bortolomiol
We propose a framework to find optimal price-based policies to regulate markets characterized by oligopolistic competition and in which consumers make a discrete choice among a finite set of alternatives. The framework accommodates general discrete choice ...

Michel Bierlaire, Virginie Janine Camille Lurkin, Stefano Bortolomiol
We propose a framework to find optimal price-based policies to regulate markets characterized by oligopolistic competition and in which consumers make a discrete choice among a finite set of alternatives. With this framework, we can include general discret ...
EPFL2021Green taxes in a post-Paris world: are millions of nays inevitable?
Philippe Thalmann, Andrea Baranzini
Turning greenhouse gas emissions pledges into domestic policies is the next challenge for governments. We address the question of the acceptability of cost-effective climate policy in a real-voting setting. First, we analyze voting behavior in a large ball ...

2012Linking the Swiss Emissions Trading System with the EU ETS: Economic Effects of Regulatory Design Alternatives
The Swiss government intends to link the Swiss Emissions Trading System to the EU ETS after 2012. Employing GENESwIS, a dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of the Swiss economy, we investigate the macroeconomic and sectoral effects of a post ...
2012Impact of biofuels production on land-use change and greenhouse gas emissions
This research assesses the effect of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission constraints imposed in biofuel importing countries on the export potential of biofuel producing countries. Several countries are promoting the introduction of biofuels on their energy matri ...
EPFL2012Thermo-chemical H2 production: Thermo-economic modeling and process integration
François Maréchal, Laurence Tock
Within the global challenge of climate change and energy security, hydrogen is considered as a promising decarbonized energy vector to be used in electricity production and transportation. In this paper, the thermo-chemical production of hydrogen by natura ...
2011Trade Policy: Home Market Effect vs Terms of Trade Externality
We study trade policy in a two-sector Krugman-type trade model with home market effects. We allow for three different instruments: tariffs, export taxes and production subsidies. For each instrument, we consider unilateral trade policy without retaliation. ...
