The Price of Biodiesel RINs and Economic Fundamentals

Irwin, Scott H. - 2018

The D4 RIN is the tradable compliance certificate for the biomass-based diesel mandate in the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). Understanding the price dynamics of the D4 RIN is important for understanding the RFS because its price sets a ceiling on the ethanol RIN (D6) and because some observers...

Estimating the Spatial Amplification of Damage Caused by Degradation in the Amazon

Araujo, Rafael; Assunção, Juliano J.; Hirota, Marina; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023

The Amazon rainforests have been undergoing unprecedented levels of human-induced disturbances. In addition to local impacts, such changes are likely to cascade following the eastern-western atmospheric flow generated by trade winds. We propose a model of spatial and temporal interactions...

Clean Growth

Arkolakis, Costas; Walsh, Conor - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023

We provide a spatial theory of clean growth to assess the global impact of the rise of renewable energy. We model the … spatial implications of clean growth. We find that the world's power system is likely to be dominated by renewables by 2040 in …

Going the Extra Mile : Farm Subsidies and Spatial Convergence in Agricultural Input Adoption

Kumar, Naresh; Kapoor, Rolly; Aggarwal, Shilpa; Jeong, … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023

Many countries subsidize agricultural inputs but require farmers to travel to retailers to access inputs, just as for normal purchases. What effect do travel costs have on subsidy take-up and input usage, particularly for remote farmers? We analyze Malawi's Farm Input Subsidy Program (FISP), and...

Climate Change Economics over Time and Space

Desmet, Klaus; Rossi-Hansberg, Esteban - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024

With average temperature ranging from -20°C at the North Pole to 30°C at the Equator and with global warming expected to reach 1.4°C to 4.5°C by the year 2100, it is clear that climate change will have vastly different effects across the globe. Given the abundance of land in northern...

The Seamless World : A Spatial Model of International Specialization

Krugman, Paul - 1995

This paper is an effort to do international trade theory without mentioning countries. Nearly all models of the international economy assume that trade takes place between nations or regions which are themselves dimensionless points. We develop a model in which economic space is instead assumed...

Regional Adjustment to Trade Liberalization

Hanson, Gordon H. - 1994

In this paper, I study the effect of economic integration with the United States on state-industry employment growth in … liberalization has strong effects on industry location. Consistent with the transport-costs hypothesis, post-trade employment growth … mixed. Employment growth is higher where agglomeration in upstream and downstream industries is higher, but not where the …

Fluctuations, Instability, and Agglomeration

Krugman, Paul - 1994

Recent models in economic geography suggest that there may be very large numbers of equilibrium spatial structures. Simulations suggest, however, that the structures that emerge are surprisingly orderly, and often seem approximately to follow simple rules about the spacing of urban sites. This...

A Dynamic Spatial Model

Krugman, Paul - 1992

Any interesting model of economic geography must involve a tension between "centripetal" forces that tend to produce agglomerations and "centrifugal" forces that tend to pull them apart. This paper explores one such model, and shows that the model links together a number of themes in the...
