City Size, Pollution and Emission Policies

Pflüger, Michael - 2020

modelling of pollution and pollution abatement. We derive two key insights. First, if the national government implements a … permit system (equivalently, pollution taxes) that allow for emissions as in the first-best, cities chosen by local …-best emission policy and extensions to city asymmetries, a fiscal externality, local pollution, generalized commuting costs and …

Inequality and the Environment : The Economics of a Two-Headed Hydra

Drupp, Moritz A.; Kornek, Ulrike; Meya, Jasper; Sager, Lutz - 2021

consider interactions with the other. We synthesize theoretical mechanisms that underpin inequality-environment interlinkages … appraisal. We argue that it is crucial to consider inequality-environment interlinkages even if one’s primarily concern is one …

Green Governments

Potrafke, Niklas; Wuthrich, Kaspar - 2021

We examine how Green governments influence macroeconomic, education, and environmental outcomes. We exploit that the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan gave rise to an unanticipated change in government in the German state Baden-Wuerttemberg in 2011. Using the synthetic control method, we find...

Economic Growth and Pollutant Emissions : New Panel Evidence from the Union for the Mediterranean Countries

Ben Abdeljelil, Mouna; Rault, Christophe; Belaïd, Fateh - 2023

This paper investigates the existence of an environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) and its robustness for 28 countries of the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) over the recent period. Our methodology relies on four recent estimation methods for non-stationary panel data and includes four pollutants...

EU ETS and the New Green Paradox

Rosendahl, Knut Einar - 2019

With the new rules of the EU ETS, involving cancellation of allowances, cumulative emissions are no longer fixed but depending on the market outcome. Perino (2018) showed that additional abatement effort can reduce cumulative emissions if it occurs within a few years. This article shows that...

Effects of Carbon Pricing and Other Climate Policies on CO 2 Emissions

Kohlscheen, Emanuel; Moessner, Richhild; Takats, Elod - 2021

We provide ex-post empirical analysis of the effects of climate policies on carbon dioxide emissions at the aggregate national level. Our results are based on a comprehensive database of 121 countries. As climate policies we examine carbon taxes and emissions trading systems (ETS), as well as...

Unilateral Co2 Reduction Policy with More than One Carbon Energy Source

Daubanes, Julien; Schubert, Katheline; Henriet, Fanny - 2021

We examine an open economy’s strategy to reduce its carbon emissions by replacing its consumption of coal—very carbon intensive—with gas—less so. Unlike the standard theoretical approach to carbon leakage, we show that unilateral CO2 reduction policies generate a higher leakage rate in...

Carbon Policy and the Emissions Implications of Electric Vehicles

Gillingham, Kenneth; Ovaere, Marten; Weber, Stephanie - 2021

Will a carbon tax improve the welfare consequences of policies to promote electric vehicles? This paper examines when a complementarity could exist between carbon pricing and high electric vehicle adoption. We analyze electricity generation in recent years to show that in several regions, carbon...

Will the Centralisation of Carbon Pricing Revenue in the EU Lead to Laxer Climate Policy?

Fuest, Clemens; Meier, Volker - 2021

We analyse the economic impact of using carbon pricing revenue to fund the EU budget. Such a reform would redistribute from countries with above average carbon intensive production to less carbon intensive countries. Once the reform is implemented, the low carbon countries will prefer a lower...

The Political Consequences of Green Policies : Evidence from Italy

Colantone, Italo; Di Lonardo, Livio; Margalit, Yotam; … - 2022

For many governments enacting green policies is a priority, but these often entail substantial and uneven costs on citizens. How does the introduction of green policies affect voting? We study this question in the context of a major ban on polluting cars introduced in Milan. The policy was...
