On Capturing Oil Rents with a National Excise Tax Revisited

Rubio, Santiago J. - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2004

In this paper the scope of Bergstrom’s (1982) results is studied. Moreover, his analysis is extended assuming that extraction cost is directly related to accumulated extractions. For the case of a competitive market it is found that the optimal policy is a constant tariff if extraction is...

Optimal Mechanisms for Heterogeneous Multi-cell Aquifers

Athanassoglou, Stergios; Sheriff, Glenn; Siegfried, Tobias - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011

Standard economic models of groundwater management impose restrictive assumptions regarding perfect transmissivity (i.e., the aquifer behaves as a bathtub), no external effects of groundwater stocks, observability of individual extraction rates, and/or homogenous agents. In this article, we...

“The Voracity Effect” and Climate Change: The Impact of Clean Technologies

Benchekroun, Hassan; Chaudhuri, Amrita Ray - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011

We show that a technological breakthrough that reduces CO2 emissions per output can exacerbate the climate change problem: countries may respond by raising their emissions resulting in an increase of the stock of pollution that may reduce welfare. Using parameter values based on empirical...

On the Optimal Taxation of Common-Pool Resources

Kossioris, Georgios; Plexousakis, Michael; Xepapadeas, … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2010

Recent research developments in common-pool resource models emphasize the importance of links with ecological systems and the presence of non-linearities, thresholds and multiple steady states. In a recent paper Kossioris et al. (2008) develop a methodology for deriving feedback Nash equilibria...

Renewable Resources, Pollution and Trade in a Small Open Economy

Rus, Horatiu A. - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2006

Industrial pollution can have damaging effects on resource-based productive sectors. International trade creates opportunities for overexploitation of the open-access renewable resources but also for separating the sectors spatially. The paper shows that, depending on the relative damage...
