The Economic Impact of the South-North Water Transfer Project in China: A Computable General Equilibrium Analysis

Berrittella, Maria; Rehdanz, Katrin; Tol, Richard S.J. - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2006

Water resources are unevenly spread in China. Especially the basins of the Yellow, Hui and Hai rivers in the North are rather dry. To increase the supply of water in these basins, the South-to-North Water Transfer project (SNWT) was launched. Using a computable general equilibrium model this...

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...
