Emissions Taxes and Abatement Regulation under Uncertainty
Christiansen, Vidar; Smith, Stephen - CESifo - 2013
We consider environmental regulation in a context where firms invest in abatement technology under conditions of uncertainty about subsequent abatement cost, but can subsequently adjust output in the light of true marginal abatement cost. Where an emission tax is the only available instrument,...

Environmental Tax Reform in a Federation with Rent-Induced Migration
Garon, Jean-Denis; Séguin, Charles - CESifo - 2015
We study the welfare effects of a revenue-neutral green tax reform in a federation. The reform consists of increasing a tax on a polluting input and reducing that on labor income. Households are fully mobile within the federation. Regions are unequally endowed with a nonrenewable natural...

Education, Unemployment and Migration
Eggert, Wolfgang; Krieger, Tim; Meier, Volker - CESifo - 2007

The Effectiveness of Taxation and Feed-in Tariffs
Antoniou, Fabio; Strausz, Roland - CESifo - 2014
We study (energy) markets with dirty incumbents and costly entry by clean producers. For intermediate entry costs, the market outcome exhibits inefficient production and inefficient entry. A policy mix of three popular regulatory instruments—taxation on polluters, feed-in tariffs for clean...
