The effect of pollution on worker productivity : evidence from call-center workers in China
Chang, Tom; Zivin, Joshua S. Graff; Gross, Tal; … - 2016
We investigate the effect of pollution on worker productivity in the service sector by focusing on two call centers in … China. Using precise measures of each worker's daily output linked to daily measures of pollution and meteorology, we find … that higher levels of air pollution decrease worker productivity by reducing the number of calls that workers complete each …

Clean and productive? : evidence from the German manufacturing industry
Böhringer, Christoph; Moslener, Ulf; Oberndorfer, Ulrich; … - 2008
We analyze the productivity effects of environmental (green) investment as well as of environmental expenditures and energy expenditures. For this purpose, we follow a production function approach where we account for these investment and expenditure categories as inputs. Based on a panel...

Optimal emission pricing in the presence of international spillovers : decomposing leakage and terms-of-trade motives
Böhringer, Christoph; Lange, Andreas; Rutherford, Thomas F. - 2012
Carbon leakage provides an efficiency argument for unilateral climate policy to differentiate emission prices in favor of emission-intensive and trade-exposed sectors. At the same time, differential emission pricing can be (mis-)used as a beggar-thy-neighbor policy to exploit terms of trade....

Alternative designs for tariffs on embodied carbon : a global cost-effectiveness analysis
Böhringer, Christoph (contributor) - 2012
In the absence of effective world-wide cooperation to curb global warming, import tariffs on embodied carbon have been proposed as a potential supplement to unilateral emissions pricing. We consider alternative designs for such tariffs, and analyze their effects on global welfare within a...

Unilateral climate policy and competitiveness : the implications of differential emission pricing
Böhringer, Christoph; Alexeeva-Talebi, Victoria - 2011
Unilateral emission reduction commitments raise concerns on international competitiveness and emission leakage that result in preferential regulatory treatment of domestic energy-intensive and trade-exposed industries. Our analysis illustrates the potential pitfalls of climate policy design...
