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...

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...

Clean and Dirty International Technology Diffusion

Bosetti, Valentina; Verdolini, Elena - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013

This paper investigates the role of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) protection and Environmental Policies (EPs) on clean (renewable) and dirty (fossil-based) technology diffusion from top-innovators. IPR protection and EPs are extensively debated policy tools, as IPR protection addresses...

Optimal Emission Tax with Endogenous Location Choice of Duopolistic Firms

Ikefuji, Masako; Itaya, Jun-ichi; Okamura, Makoto - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2010

This paper explores optimal environmental tax policy under which duopoly firms strategically choose the location of their plants in a simple three-stage game. We examine how the relationship between the optimal emission tax and the choice of location of duopoly firms affects the welfare of the...
