Estimating Trade Elasticities : Demand Composition and the Trade Collapse of 2008-09
Bussière, Matthieu - 2011
This paper introduces a new methodology for the estimation of demand trade elasticities based on an import intensity-adjusted measure of aggregate demand, with the foundation of a stylized theoretical model. We compute the import intensity of demand components by using the OECD Input-Output...

Shock Elasticities and Impulse Responses
Borovička, Jaroslav - 2014
We construct shock elasticities that are pricing counterparts to impulse response functions. Recall that impulse response functions measure the importance of next-period shocks for future values of a time series. Shock elasticities measure the contributions to the price and to the expected...

Distributional Impacts in a Comprehensive Climate Policy Package
Metcalf, Gilbert E. - 2010
Many distributional analyses of carbon pricing focus on the uses-side incidence of carbon pricing. This is the differential burden resulting from heterogeneity in consumption across households. Once one allows for sources-side incidence (i.e. differential impacts of changes in real factor...

Analytical General Equilibrium Effects of Energy Policy on Output and Factor Prices
Fullerton, Don - 2010
Using an analytical general equilibrium model, we find closed form solutions for the effect of energy policy on factor prices and output prices. We calibrate the model to the US economy, and we consider a tax on carbon. By looking at expenditure and income patterns across household groups, we...

Uncertain Outcomes and Climate Change Policy
Pindyck, Robert S. - 2009
Focusing on tail effects, I incorporate distributions for temperature change and its economic impact in an analysis of climate change policy. I estimate the fraction of consumption w*(tau) that society would be willing to sacrifice to ensure that any increase in temperature at a future point is...

Regularization from Economic Constraints : A New Estimator for Marginal Emissions
Holland, Stephen P.; Mansur, Erin; Verdier, Valentin; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024
Environmental policy is increasingly concerned with measuring emissions resulting from local changes to electricity consumption. These marginal emissions are challenging to measure because electricity grids encompass multiple locations and the information available to identify the effect of each...

The Elasticity of Taxable Income : Evidence and Implications

We provide new estimates of this elasticity which address identification … income, and on variation in the elasticity of taxable income by income group. We find that the overall elasticity of taxable … income is approximately 0.4; the elasticity of real income, not including tax preferences, is much lower. We also estimate …
