Climate Policy under Technology Spillovers

Golombek, Rolf; Hoel, Michael - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2003

Technological development is likely to play an important role in curbing growth in greenhouse gas emissions. It is therefore important to incorporate factors influencing technological change in climate policy analyses. This paper studies climate policy when there are technology spillovers...

Fixed Instruments to Cope with Stock Externalities An Experimental Evaluation

Giordana, Gastón; Willinger, Marc - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2007

We evaluate the effectiveness of non optimal and temporally inconsistent incentive policies for regulating the exploitation of a renewable common-pool resource. The corresponding game is an N-person discrete-time deterministic dynamic game of T periods fixed duration. Three policy instruments...

Biodiversity Conservation on Private Lands: Information Problems and Regulatory Choices

Lin, Tun; Goeschl, Timo - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2004

This survey paper examines various information insufficiencies in biodiversity conservation and their impact of regulatory choices. We surveyed the literature in the field and identified four major types of informational insufficiencies in making efficient biodiversity conservation decisions: 1)...

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...

Climate Agreements and Technology Policy

Hoel, Michael; Golombek, Rolf - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2004

We study climate policy when there are technology spillovers within and across countries, and the technology externalities within each country are corrected through a domestic subsidy of R&D investments. We compare the properties of international climate agreements when the inter-country...

The Effects of Environmental Regulation on Technology Diffusion: The Case of Chlorine Manufacturing

Snyder, Lori; Miller, Nolan; Stavins, Robert - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2003

We use a hazard model to estimate the effect of environmental regulation on the diffusion of membrane cell production technology in the chlorine manufacturing industry. We estimate the effect of regulation on both the adoption of the membrane technology at existing plants and on the exit of...

The Problem of the Commons: Still Unsettled after 100 Years

Stavins, Robert N. - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2010

The problem of the commons is more important to our lives and thus more central to economics than a century ago when … the commons. Within the realm of natural resources, there are special challenges associated with renewable resources …, which are frequently characterized by open access. An important example is the degradation of open-access fisheries …

Environmental Innovations, Local Networks and Internationalization

Cainelli, Giulio; Mazzanti, Massimiliano; Montresor, Sandro - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011

This paper investigates the drivers of the environmental innovations (EI) introduced by firms in local production systems (LPS). The role of firm network relationships, agglomeration economies and internationalization strategies is analysed for a sample of 555 firms in the Emilia-Romagna region,...

Local Communities in front of Big External Investors: An Opportunity or a Risk?

Antoci, Angelo; Russu, Paolo; Ticci, Elisa - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2010

In the current age of trade and financial openness, local economies in developing countries are becoming increasingly exposed to external investments. The objective of the proposed two-sector model with environmental externalities is to provide an insight into the interaction between external...

The Survival of the Conformist: Social Pressure and Renewable Resource Management

Tavoni, Alessandro; Schlüter, Maja; Levin, Simon - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2010

This paper examines the role of pro-social behavior as a mechanism for the establishment and maintenance of cooperation in resource use under variable social and environmental conditions. By coupling resource stock dynamics with social dynamics concerning compliance to a social norm prescribing...
