This study tackles a public finance issue on climate change: a carbon tax and government bonds to finance public spending for adaptation. This type of bond is known as ``green bonds" and presents remarkable growth in the global market. We construct an asset-pricing model in which climate change...

This article analyzes the consequences of environmental tax policies when the government imposes a constraint on stabilizing public debt. A public sector of pollution abatement is financed by taxation and by issuing public debt. Considering a simple overlapping-generations model, the tax reform...

Time-saving goods and services have become increasingly popular because they increase a household's disposable time, which could be allocated to other activities that consume energy and/or electricity. We develop a simple theoretical model and define the time rebound effect as the increased...

This paper examines the importance of induced technological change in considering the efficiency costs of environmental policy. In particular, in modeling an endogenous formation of energy-saving technology through a variety of intermediates, the paper studies the welfare effects of...

We construct a research and development (R&D) based endogenous growth model with exhaustible resources and investigate whether protection of intellectual property rights (IPR) can sustain perpetual growth. We show that relatively weak IPR protection is sufficient to sustain perpetual growth when...

We introduce a leverage-constrained financial intermediaries and market incompleteness into a three-period pure exchange economy with ex ante homogeneous households. Market incompleteness generates ex post heterogeneity in households' consumption and wealth distributions and arbitrage...

Using an asset pricing model of a multi-sector production economy with pandemic disasters, we explain the average stock price boom and significant cross-sectional variation of stock returns in the US and Japan during the COVID-19 pandemic recession. Two features of the pandemic, ambiguity and...
