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.

Is There any Scope for Corporatism in Stabilization Policies?
Bartolomeo, Giovanni Di; Acocella, Nicola; Pauwels, Wilfried - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2004
This paper studies corporatism as the outcome of bargaining between the government and a representative labor union. When negotiations between these two parties only relate to macroeconomic stabilization, we show that corporatism can never be beneficial to both parties. As corporatist policies...

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...

Climate Change Adaptation, Development, and International Financial Support: Lessons from EU Pre-Accession and Solidarity Funds
Przyluski, Valentin; Hallegatte, Stéphane - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2010
Funding adaptation requires adequate governance and there are different ways to organise and channel the funds to where it is most efficient and most necessary. This paper investigates this issue and studies the practical implementation of a development under conditionality, namely...

Bio-Ecological Diversity vs. Socio-Economic Diversity: A Comparison of Existing Measures
Maignan, Carole; Ottaviano, Gianmarco; Pinelli, Dino; … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2003
This paper aims to enrich the standard toolbox for measuring diversity in economics. In so doing, we compare the indicators of diversity used by economists with those used by biologists and ecologists. Ecologists and biologists are concerned about biodiversity: the diversity of organisms that...
