The Timing of National Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions in the Presence of Other Environmental Policies

Dellink, Rob B.; Hofkes, Marjan W. - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2006

This paper shows in an empirical context that substantial cost reductions can be achieved in the implementation of Dutch national climate policy by (i) targeting the policy at the stock of greenhouse gases, thus allowing polluters flexibility in their timing of emission reductions; and (ii)...

Reconsidering The Impact of Environment on Long-Run Growth When Pollution Influences Health and Agents Have Finite-Lifetime

Pautrel, Xavier - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2006

Using an overlapping generation model à la Blanchard (1985) with human capital accumulation, this article demonstrates that the influence of environment on optimal growth in the long-run may be explained by the detrimental effect of pollution on life expectancy. It also shows that, in such a...

A Comparison Between Shale Gas in China and Unconventional Fuel Development in the United States: Health, Water and Environmental Risks

Farah, Paolo D.; Tremolada, Riccardo - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013

China is appraised to have the world's largest exploitable reserves of shale gas, although several legal, regulatory, environmental and investment-related issues will likely restrain its scope. China's capacity to successfully face these hurdles and produce commercial shale gas will have a...

Health-enhancing Activities and the Environment: How Competition for Resources Makes the Environmental Policy Beneficial

Pautrel, Xavier - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2009

pollution on health and the private decision of each working-age agent to improve her health are taken into account. Especially …, a tighter environmental tax is more likely to promote (rather than to harm) output-level and –growth when health is very … sensitive to pollution, the weight of health in preferences is high, the polluting capacity of the production technology is high …

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...

Are EU Environmental Policies Too Demanding for New Members States?

Pellegrini, Lorenzo; Gerlagh, Reyer - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2005

In 2004, ten new states entered the European Union. Relative to the pre-2004 member states, these accession states have lower environmental standards, and some worry that it will be too demanding for these new EU members to fully comply with European environmental provisions. In this paper, we...

Pollution Abatement in the Netherlands: A Dynamic Applied General Equilibrium Assessment

Dellink, Rob; Ierland, Ekko van - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2004

This paper deals with an assessment of the economic costs of environmental policies in the Netherlands, using a dynamic Applied General Equilibrium model with bottom-up information on abatement techniques. Empirical abatement cost curves are used to determine substitution possibilities between...

Environmental Policy and Capital Movements: The Role of Government Commitment

Marsiliani, Laura; Renström, Thomas I. - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2003

This paper explores the relationship between environmental protection and international capital movements, when tax policy is endogenous (through voting). A two-period general equilibrium model of a small open economy is specified to compare the effects of two different constitutions (commitment...

Key Environmental Innovations

Huber, Joseph - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2005

This paper is based on empirical research on a taxonomy of technological environmental innovations. It draws on a databank with over 500 examples of new technologies (materials, products, processes and practices) which come with benign environmental effects. The approaches applied to...
