Environmental Regulation and Competitiveness: Empirical Evidence on the Porter Hypothesis from European Manufacturing Sectors
Rubashkina, Yana; Galeotti, Marzio; Verdolini, Elena - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2014
environmental regulation on innovation and on productivity generally in separate analyses and mostly focusing on the USA. The few … existing studies focusing on Europe investigate the effect of environmental regulation either on green innovation or on … performance indicators such as exports. We instead look at overall innovation and productivity impact that are the most relevant …

Crossing the River by Feeling the Stones: The Case of Carbon Trading in China
Zhang, ZhongXiang - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2015
Putting a price on carbon is considered a crucial step for China’s endeavor of harnessing the market forces to reduce its energy consumption and carbon emissions. Indeed, aligned with China’s grand experiment with low-carbon provinces and low-carbon cities in six provinces and thirty-six...

Optimal Soil Management and Environmental Policy
Lafforgue, Gilles; Oueslati, Walid - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2005
This paper studies the effects of environmental policy on the farmer’s soil optimal management. We consider a dynamic economic model of soil erosion where the intensity use of inputs allows the farmer to control soil losses. Therefore, inputs use induces a pollution which is accentuated by the...

Impacts of Border Carbon Adjustments on China’s Sectoral Emissions: Simulations with a Dynamic Computable General Equilibrium Model
Bao, Qin; Tang, Ling; Zhang, ZhongXiang; Qiao, Han; … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011
Carbon-based border tax adjustments (BTAs) have recently been proposed by some OECD countries to level the carbon playing field and target major emerging economies. This paper applies a multi-sector dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) model to estimate the impacts of the BTAs...

A Simple Formula for the Social Cost of Carbon
Bijgaart, Inge van den; Gerlagh, Reyer; Korsten, Luuk; … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013
The social cost of carbon (SCC), commonly referred to as the carbon price, is the monetized damage from emitting one unit of CO2 to the atmosphere. The SCC is typically obtained from large-scale computational Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) that consolidate interdisciplinary climate research...

Investments in Quality, Collective Reputation and Information Acquisition
Fontini, Fulvio; Millock, Katrin; Moretto, Michele - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013
In many cases consumers cannot observe firms’ investment in quality or safety, but have only beliefs on the average quality of the industry. In addition, the outcome of the collective investment game of the firms may be stochastic since firms cannot control perfectly the technology or external...
