A Public Finance Perspective on Climate Policy: Six Interactions That May Enhance Welfare
Siegmeier, Jan; Mattauch, Linus; Franks, Max; Klenert, David - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2015
Climate change economics mostly neglects sizeable interactions of carbon pricing with other fiscal policy instruments. Conversely, public finance typically overlooks the effects of future decarbonization efforts when devising instruments for the major goals of fiscal policy. We argue that such a...

Tinbergen and Theil Meet Nash: Controllability in Policy Games
Bartolomeo, Giovanni Di; Acocella, Nicola - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2005
This paper generalizes the classical theory of economic policy to a static LQ-strategic context between n players. We show how this generalized version of controllability can profitably be used to deal with policy ineffectiveness issues and Nash equilibrium existence.

Dynamic Controllability with Overlapping targets: A Generalization of the Tinbergen-Nash Theory of Economic Policy
Bartolomeo, Giovanni Di; Acocella, Nicola; Hallett, … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2005
We generalize some recent results developed in static policy games with multiple players, to a dynamic context. We find that the classical theory of economic policy can be usefully applied to a strategic context of difference games: if one player satisfies the Golden Rule, then either all other...
