The Demand for Global and Local Environmental Protection - Experimental Evidence from Climate Change Mitigation in Beijing

Löschel, Andreas - 2018

In this study, the real demand for global and local environmental protection in Beijing, China, is elicited and investigated. Participants from Beijing were offered the opportunity to contribute to voluntary climate change mitigation by purchasing permits from two Chinese CO2 emissions trading...

A Model to Evaluate Vehicle Emission Incentive Policies in Japan

Fullerton, Don - 2014

Using three years of data from the 47 prefectures of Japan, we estimate behavior of households who simultaneously make discrete decisions about vehicle ownership and continuous decisions about driving distance. We use the estimated parameters to calculate elasticities and to simulate the effects...

How Large are Road Traffic Externalities in the City? The Highway Tunneling in Maastricht, the Netherlands

Tijm, Joep - 2018

Infrastructure projects are increasingly aiming to improve liveability, in particular in urban areas. We analyse a specific case in which an existing highway in an urban area was moved underground in order to improve intercity traffic flows and to reduce traffic externalities. As travel times...

What Drives the Global Land Rush?

Arezki, Rabah - 2013

This paper studies the determinants of foreign land acquisition for large-scale agriculture. To do so, gravity models are estimated using data on bilateral investment relationships, together with newly constructed indicators of agro-ecological suitability in areas with low population density as...

Optimal Pollution Control in a Mixed Oligopoly with Research Spillovers

Haruna, Shoji - 2018

We study optimal pollution abatement under a mixed oligopoly game when firms engage in emissions-reducing R&D that is imperfectly appropriable. The regulator uses a tax to curb emissions. Results show that in a mixed oligopoly, the public firm has positive emissions reduction in equilibrium;...

Regime Shifts and Uncertainty in Pollution Control

de Zeeuw, Aart; Zemel, Amos - 2021

We develop a simple model of managing a system subject to pollution damage under risk of an abrupt and random jump in the damage coefficient. The model allows the full dynamic characterization of the optimal emission policies under uncertainty. The results, that imply prudent behavior due to...

Determinants of Pollution Abatement and Control Expenditure in Romania : A Multilevel Analysis

Caporale, Guglielmo Maria; Rault, Christophe; Sova, Robert - 2021

The transition process in Central and Eastern Europe was associated with growing environmental awareness. This paper analyses the determinants of Pollution Abatement and Control Expenditure (PACE) at plant level in the case of Romania using survey data and a Multilevel Regression Model (MRM)....

Optimal Monitoring to Implement Clean Technologies when Pollution is Random

Macho-Stadler, Ines; Pérez-Castrillo, David - 2021

We analyze a model where firms chose a production technology which, together with some random event, determines the final emission level. We consider the coexistence of two alternative technologies: a "clean" technology, and a "dirty" technology. The environmental regulation is based on taxes...

Effects of Stricter Environmental Regulations on Resource Development

Lange, Ian - 2018

This analysis seeks to understand whether changes in oil regulation brought about by the shale revolution have restricted the pace of drilling and production. This hypothesis is tested using data on North Dakota and Montana both before and after North Dakota increased the level of bonding...

Role of Production Networks in Sustaining and Rebalancing Asia's Growth

Thorbecke, Willem - 2012

economic growth in East Asia. Developed Asia produces technology-intensive intermediate goods and capital goods and ships them …, the ability of the rest of the world to absorb Asia's exports has decreased. Export production in some Asian countries has … production networks in Asia. It then discusses how developing Asian countries could leverage production networks to facilitate …
