The Rise and Fall of Bioenergy

Hoel, Michael Olaf - 2018

If bioenergy has a less negative impact on the climate than fossil energy, it may be optimal to have a significant increase in the use of bioenergy over time. Due to the difference in the way the climate is affected by the two types of energy, the future time path of the use of bioenergy may be...

A Global Perspective on the Incidence of Monopoly Distortions

Ding, Siying; Lashkaripour, Ahmad; Lugovskyy, Volodymyr - 2024

We develop a method to measure the incidence of monopolistic markup distortions in the global economy. Using semi-parametric formulas, we measure how trade modifies the deadweight loss of markups through two channels: (1) trade-induced change in markup dispersion, and (2) international...
