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...

“Almost” Subsidy-free Spatial Pricing in a Multi-dimensional Setting

Savvateev, Alexei; Drèze, Jacques; Breton, Michel Le; … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2007

Consider a population of citizens uniformly spread over the entire plane, that faces a problem of locating public facilities to be used by its members. The cost of every facility is financed by its users, who also face an idiosyncratic private access cost to the facility. We assume that the...

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...

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...

The Distributional Impacts of Policies for the Control of Transport Externalities.An Applied General Equilibrium Model

Mayeres, Inge - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 1999

The paper uses an applied general equilibrium model, calibrated to the situation in Belgium in 1990, to evaluate the welfare effects of small policy changes in the presence of transport externalities. The model incorporates three types of externalities: congestion, which has a feedback effect on...

Endogenous Technology and Tradable Emission Quotas

Hoel, Michael; Golombek, Rolf - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2006

We study an international climate agreement that assigns emission quotas to each participating country. Unlike the simplest models in the literature, we assume that abatement costs are affected by R&D activities undertaken in all firms in all countries, i.e. abatement technologies are...
