Competition among coalitions in a Cournot industry : a validation of the Porter Hypothesis

Lambertini, Luca; Pignataro, Giuseppe; Tampieri, Alessandro - 2015

We determine the emergence of the Porter Hypothesis in a large oligopoly setting where the industry-wide adoption of green technologies is endogenously determined as a result of competition among coalitions. We examine a setting where the initial technology is polluting, firms decide whether to...

On the interplay between resource extraction and polluting emissions in oligopoly

Lambertini, Luca - 2014

This paper offers an overview of the literature discussing oligopoly games in which polluti ng emissions are generated by the supply of goods requiring a natural resource as an input. An analytical summary of the main features of the interplay between pollution and resource extraction is then...

Optimal firms' mix in oligopoly with twofold environmental externality

Delbono, Flavio; Lambertini, Luca - 2014

We charaterise the socially optimal mix of firms in an oligopoly with both profit-seeking and labour-managed firms. The policy maker faces a twofold externality: (i) production entails the exploitation of a common pool natural resource and (ii) production/consumption pollutes the environment. We...

Green consumers, greenwashing and the misperception of environmental quality

Lambertini, Luca; Pignataro, Giuseppe; Tampieri, Alessandro - 2014

In this paper we analyse a setup where consumers are heterogeneous in the perception of environmental quality. The equilibrium is verified in a setting with horizontal and vertical (green) differentiation. Profits are increasing in the misperception of quality, while, the investment in green...

Hedonic vs environmental quality : which policy can help in lowering pollution emissions?

Mantovani, Andrea; Vergari, Cecilia - 2013

In this paper we compare two policy instruments that can be adopted to curb carbon emissions. The first is a conventional pollution tax. The second is an environmental campaign aiming to influence consumers to switch to a green good. We consider two different scenarios. When consumers are...

Vertical differentiation in a Cournot industry : the porter hypothesis and beyond

Lambertini, Luca; Tampieri, Alessandro - 2011

We modify the vertically differentiated duopoly model by André et al. (2009) replacing Bertrand with Cournot behaviour to show that firms may spontaneously adopt a green technology even in the complete absence of any form of regulation.

The effects of environmental taxes and quotas on the optimal timing of emission reductions under Choquet-Brownian uncertainty

Agliardi, Elettra; Sereno, Luigi - 2011

The effects of two environmental policy options for the reduction of pollution emissions, i.e. taxes and non-tradable quotas, are analyzed. In contrast to the prior literature this work endogenously takes into account the level of emissions before and after the adoption of the new environmental...
