- 요약Jurisdictions have implemented a myriad of policies and programs to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and mitigate the impacts of climate change. Different policy instruments may be preferred by policymakers seeking to achieve multiple objectives in addition to reducing GHG emissions, such as addressing alternative market failures, incentivizing technological change, improving distributional equity, and ensuring political acceptability. The complex climate policy landscape we see today has evolved over decades, often through an ad hoc process of layering new policies onto the existing policy mix. In this dissertation, I explore how overlapping climate policy in California can lead to interactions and trade-offs across the policy objectives of emissions reduction, cost-effectiveness, innovation, and the distribution of policy costs.The first chapter demonstrates how the use of a low carbon fuel standard (LCFS) alongside a capand-trade program (CAT) can increase both costs and total emissions through incentivizing emissions leakage. I develop a computable general equilibrium model to estimate the magnitude of these effects in California and examine policy alternatives to improve outcomes.The second chapter empirically estimates innovation rates in biofuels in terms of both costreducing and carbon-reducing innovation and evaluates the extent to which policy support is justified by the social benefits generated. I find that stacked incentives between the federal and state levels in California exceed the observed benefits.The third chapter returns to the case of California's CAT and LCFS to assess the distribution of policy costs. I employ household-level data from the Consumer Expenditure Survey to assess how the policy cost burden is distributed across income and geographic groups. I find that policy costs tend to be regressive across income groups and higher for rural households. Using the LCFS in combination with the CAT tends to increase policy costs for the lowest income groups compared to using a CAT alone to achieve the same level of emissions reduction.Together, the findings from this research contribute to better understanding interactions between overlapping climate policies and highlight important trade-offs in the use of standards versus pricing instruments to reduce GHG emissions.
