Population Under a Cap on Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Bohn, Henning - 2013
A cap on greenhouse gas emissions makes total emissions a fixed common-property resource. Population increases under a cap are therefore self-limiting: a population increase raises labor and reduces emissions per unit of labor, which lowers incomes and fertility. Because a marginal birth under a...

Carbon pricing, border adjustment and climate clubs : an assessment with EMuSe
Ernst, Anne; Hinterlang, Natascha; Mahle, Alexander; … - 2022
In a dynamic, three-region environmental multi-sector general equilibrium model (called EMuSe), we find that carbon pricing generates a recession initially as production costs rise. Benefits from lower emissions damage materialize only in the medium to long run. A border adjustment mechanism...

Monitoring and Enforcement of Climate Policy
Sigman, Hilary - 2010
This chapter applies recent research on environmental enforcement to a potential U.S. program to control greenhouse gases, especially through emission trading. Climate policies present the novel problem of integrating emissions reductions that are relatively easy to monitor (such as carbon...

Carbon Emissions Scenarios in Europe Based on an Endogenous Growth Model
Ciesielski, Anna - 2014
Carbon dioxide emissions are a major force driving climate change. We construct scenarios of CO2 emissions from fossil energy until 2100 in Europe. Major innovations are first that economic growth is based on an endogenous economic growth model and second that we calibrate our model to...

Corrective Policy and Goodhart's Law : The Case of Carbon Emissions from Automobiles
Reynaert, Mathias - 2016
Firms sometimes comply with externality-correcting policies by gaming the measure that determines policy. We show theoretically that such gaming can benefit consumers, even when it induces them to make mistakes, because gaming leads to lower prices by reducing costs. We use our insights to...

Trade and the Greenhouse Gas Emissions from International Freight Transport
Cristea, Anca D. - 2011
We collect extensive data on worldwide trade by transportation mode and use this to provide detailed comparisons of the greenhouse gas emissions associated with output versus international transportation of traded goods. International transport is responsible for 33 percent of world-wide...
