Permit markets lead polluting firms to purchase abatement goods from an eco-industry, which is often concentrated. This paper studies the consequences of imperfect competition in an eco-industry on the equilibrium choices of the competitive polluting firms. It then characterizes the second best...

In this article we introduce a polluting eco-industry. Depending on the level of the damage, we find one of two optimal equilibria. If the damage is low, we generalize the usual results of the economic literature to the polluting eco-industry: the dirty firm partially abates their emissions,...

In this article, we consider firms competing in an imperfectly competitive international market. These firms are not all submitted to a pollution permit market. We show that a dominant firm being part of the pollution permit market can use it to obtain an advantage in the product market. This...

Protected areas are increasingly used as a tool to fight against deforestation. This paper presents new evidence on the spillover effects that occur in the decision to deforest and the creation of protected areas in local administrative entities in Brazilian Legal Amazon over the 2001-2011...

This article examines the exclusionary manipulation effects of a pollution permit market. The exclusion value of a pollution permit and the overbuying strategy are determined. Then, the consequences of the exclusionary manipulation on the permit price are given. We give some economic policy...

This paper investigates if pollution permit markets are harmful for employment within a Wage Setting-Price Setting (WS-PS) model. The employment level is determined according to several financing unemployment benefits: a wage tax or the revenue of the pollution permit auction. We first show that...

Cet article traite de l'exclusion par manipulation des marchés de permis d'émission. Dans un premier temps, nous déterminons la valeur de l'exclusion que le permis représente. Puis, nous définissons la stratégie de sur-achat des permis et évaluons son impact sur le prix du permis. Nous en...
