This would, all else … imperfectly implemented policies may lead to detrimental environmental outcomes due to supply side responses. We use the … introduction of the Acid Rain Program in the U.S. as a case study. The theory predicts that owners of coal deposits, expecting …

Optimal climate policy is studied. Coal, the abundant resource, contributes more CO2 per unit of energy than the … exhaustible resource, oil. We characterize the optimal sequencing oil and coal and departures from the Herfindahl rule …. 'Preference reversal' can take place. If coal is very dirty compared to oil, there is no simultaneous use. Else, the optimal …
