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...

Will Skycrapers Save the Planet? Building Height Limits and Urban Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Borck, Rainald - 2021

This paper studies the effectiveness of building height limits as a policy to limit greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It shows that building height limits lead to urban sprawl and higher emissions from commuting. On the other hand, aggregate housing consumption may decrease which reduces emissions...

Driving Factors of Carbon Dioxide Emissions and the Impact from Kyoto Protocol

Grunewald, Nicole; Martínez-Zarzoso, Inmaculada - 2021

In the last two decades increasing attention has been paid to the relationship between environmental degradation and economic development. According to the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis this relationship may be described by an inverted-U curve. However, recent evidence rejects the...

Assessing the Effects of Climate Policy on Companies' Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Montoya, Ana Maria - 2017

We study the effect of climate policy on companies' greenhouse gas emissions using emissions data for the headquarters and subsidiaries of the world's biggest manufacturing, energy, and utility companies. Our results suggest that financial incentives and legal requirements to audit energy use...

Pareto Improving Climate Policies : Distributing the Benefits Across Generations and Regions

Hoel, Michael - 2015

Most studies show that the present generation has to take the burden and reduce consumption to mitigate future climate change. However, significant climate change is due to a market failure, and corrections of market failures give possibilities of Pareto improvements. In this paper, we study the...

Climate Policy and Development

Gersbach, Hans - 2015

We propose a development-compatible refunding system designed to mitigate climate change. Industrial countries pay an initial fee into a global fund. Each country chooses its national carbon tax. Part of the global fund is refunded to developing and industrial countries, in proportion to the...
