On the Effectiveness of Feed-in Tariffs in the Development of Photovoltaic Solar
Dijkgraaf, Elbert; Dorp, Tom van; Maasland, Emiel - Tinbergen Instituut - 2014
Growing concern for climate change and rising scarcity of fossil fuels prompted governments to stimulate the development of renewables. This paper empirically tests whether feed-in tariff (FIT) policies have been effective in the development of photovoltaic solar (PV), explicitly taking into...

Spatial Dimensions of Environmental Policies for Trans-Boundary Externalities - A Spatial Price Equilibrium Approach
Verhoef, Erik T.; Nijkamp, Peter - Tinbergen Instituut - 1998
This paper presents a framework for analysing spatial aspects of environmental policies in the regulation of trans-boundary externalities. A spatial price equilibrium model for two regions is constructed, where interactions between these regions can occur via trade and transport, via mutual...

Environmental Tax Reform and Double Dividend
Patuelli, Roberto; Pels, Eric; Nijkamp, Peter - Tinbergen Instituut - 2002
In this paper we offer a meta-analysis approach to (simulation) studies on environmental tax reform (ETR). The underlying studies look both at environmental effects (e.g. reduction in CO2 emission) and economic effects (e.g. change in gross domestic product) following such a tax reform. The...

Preference Elicitation in Generalized Data Envelopment Analysis - In Search of a New Energy Balance in Japan
Suzuki, Soushi; Nijkamp, Peter; Rietveld, Piet - Tinbergen Instituut - 2013
The recent dramatic change in energy supply in Japan has prompted a search for a new energy …-environment-economic efficiency policy, in which a compromise has to be found between a sufficient supply of energy resources, the development of low … sustainable energy balance in these regions. The main challenge is now to design an efficient energy-environment-economic system …
