Deviations in Kilometres Travelled: The Impact of Different Mobility Futures on Energy Use and Climate

Longden, Thomas - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2012

The importance of a focus on mobility and the kilometres travelled using light duty vehicles is reflected in the persistence of strong demand for personal mobility and emissions that tend to be linked with population and economic growth. Simulation results using the WITCH model show that changes...

Can a Small Nation Gain from Introducing a Carbon Tax Early?

Lund, Diderik - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1994

Carbon dioxide emissions may cause global warming. But own emissions have negligible effects for a small nation, which may thus regard carbon taxes as distortionary. Such taxes may have other effects, however. When research and development (R&D) has positive external effects, carbon taxes may...

Policy Instruments and Incentives for Environmental R&D:A Market-Driven Approach

Albrecht, Johan - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 1999

Environmental policy instruments have an impact on the incentives to invest in environmental R&D and this link should deserve careful consideration when introducing new instruments. Some authors argue that environmental taxes and tradable permits have rather comparable impacts on environmental...

Linking Environmental and Innovation Policy

Gerlagh, Reyer; Kverndokk, Snorre; Rosendah, Knut Einar - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2008

This paper addresses the timing and interdependence between innovation and environmental policy in a model of research … and development (R&D). On a first-best path the environmental tax is set at the Pigouvian level, independent of innovation …. However, with finite patent lifetime, optimal innovation policy depends on the stage of the environmental problem. In the …

International R&D Rivalry and Industrial Strategy without Government Commitment

Leahy, Dermot; Neary, J Peter - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1995

We examine optimal industrial and trade policies in a series of dynamic oligopoly games in which a home and a foreign firm compete in R&D and output. Alternative assumptions about the timing of moves and the ability of agents to commit intertemporally are considered. We show that the home export...

Productivity Growth and the Structure of the Business Cycle

Saint-Paul, Gilles - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1992

Over recent years `opportunity cost' (OC) models of growth have been constructed which suggest that firms take advantage of the possibility of intertemporal subsitution in order to engage in productivity-improving activities during recessions. This paper tests whether this argument is correct,...
