The Kindergarten Rule of Sustainable Growth

Brock, William A. - 2003

The relationship between economic growth and the environment is not well understood: we have only limited understanding of the basic science involved and very limited data. Because of these difficulties it is especially important to develop a series of relatively simple theoretical models that...

Sustainable Growth and the Green Golden Rule

Beltratti, Andrea - 1993

We study a growth model with an environmental asset which is a source of utility and an input to consumption and production. The stock of this asset follows its own ecological dynamics, which are affected by economic activity. We study the implications of an approach to ranking sequences of...

Output and Attribute-Based Carbon Regulation Under Uncertainty

Kellogg, Ryan - 2019

Output-based carbon regulations--such as fuel economy standards and the rate-based standards in the Clean Power Plan--create well-known incentives to inefficiently increase output. Similar distortions are created by attribute-based regulations. This paper demonstrates that, despite these...

Do Environmental Markets Cause Environmental Injustice? Evidence from California’s Carbon Market

Hernandez-Cortes, Danae - 2020

growing distributional concern that market forces could increase the pollution exposure gap between disadvantaged and other … communities by spatially reallocating pollution. We estimate how this "environmental justice gap" changed following the 2013 … critiques. Embedding a pollution transport model within a program evaluation framework, we find that while the EJ gap was …

GHG Targets as Insurance Against Catastrophic Climate Damages

Weitzman, Martin L. - 2010

A critical issue in climate-change economics is the specification of the so-called "damages function" and its interaction with the unknown uncertainty of catastrophic outcomes. This paper asks how much we might be misled by our economic assessment of climate change when we employ a conventional...

Optimal Emission Pricing in the Presence of International Spillovers : Decomposing Leakage and Terms-of-Trade Motives

Böhringer, Christoph - 2010

Carbon control policies in OECD countries commonly differentiate emission prices in favor of energy-intensive industries. While leakage provides a efficiency argument for differential emission pricing, the latter may be a disguised beggar-thy-neighbor policy to exploit terms of trade. Using an...

Explaining the Price of Voluntary Carbon Offsets

Conte, Marc N. - 2009

This paper investigates factors that explain the large variability in the price of voluntary carbon offsets. We estimate hedonic price functions using a variety of provider- and project-level characteristics as explanatory variables. We find that providers located in Europe sell offsets at...
