  • The abatement costs of companion policies were much higher than concurrent carbon prices.

    “The empirical evidence summarised in section 4, which mainly covers the first two trading periods of the EU ETS, clearly shows that: (a) emissions in the electricity sector were primarily abated by companion policies, rather than by carbon prices, and (b) that their abatement costs were much higher than concurrent carbon prices.”

  • Abrell et al. (2019) estimated implicit carbon prices for wind subsidies ranging from €105 to €276/tCO2 in Germany (2010-2015) and from €82 to €258/tCO2 in Spain (2014-2015).

    “For wind subsidies, estimated implicit carbon prices range from e 105 to e 276/tCO2 and from e 82 to e 258/tCO2 in Germany and Spain, respectively; for PV subsidies, they range from e 411 to e 972/tCO2 and from e 784 to e 1944/tCO2, in the same country order.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
