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...

On International Equity Weights and National Decision Making on Climate Change

Anthoff, David; Tol, Richard S. J. - 2021

Estimates of the marginal damage costs of carbon dioxide emissions require the aggregation of monetised impacts of climate change over people with different incomes and in different jurisdictions. Implicitly or explicitly, such estimates assume a social welfare function and hence a particular...

'Cultural Persistence' of Health Capital : Evidence from European Migrants

Costa-Font, Joan - 2017

We examine the persistence of the association between subjective health assessments of both first and second-generation migrants with that of their country of origin. To mitigate potential selection bias, we use European data containing records from 30 countries, including over 90 countries of...

Cooperative and Non-Cooperative Equilibrium Consumption Taxes in the Presence of Cross-Border Pollution

Michael, Michael S. - 2013

We consider a two small open economies model with cross-border pollution that is generated from consumption. Within this framework we examine i) the non-cooperative equilibrium consumption taxes and compare them to when pollution is only local, ii) the cooperative equilibrium consumption taxes...

Unilateral Climate Policy, Asymmetric Backstop Adoption, and Carbon Leakage in a Two-Region Hotelling Model

van der Werf, Edwin - 2015

We study backstop adoption and carbon dioxide emission paths in a two-region model with unilateral climate policy and … that the abating region has an inverse N-shaped emission path, with growing emissions in the period for which the ceiling …

Emission Permits and Public Pollution Abatement : Can Decentralized Environmental Policies Be Efficient?

Tsakiris, Nikos - 2015

-regionally tradable emission permits. We analyze the non-cooperative (decentralized) and cooperative (centralized) equilibrium level of … emission permits and we examine when and how cross-border pollution and the type of capital mobility affect these equilibrium …

The Carbon-Budget Approach to Climate Stabilization : Cost-Effective Subglobal Versus Global Action

Eichner, Thomas - 2010

Scientific expertise suggests that mitigating extreme world-wide climate change damages requires avoiding increases in … the world mean temperature exceeding 2° Celsius. To achieve the two degree target, the cumulated global emissions must not … joint emission trading scheme in the first period (only). In sharp contrast, subglobal cost-effective regulation may require …

Can a Unilateral Carbon Tax Reduce Emissions Elsewhere?

Elliott, Joshua - 2013

One country that tries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions may fear that other countries get a competitive advantage and increase emissions (“leakage”). Estimates from computable general equilibrium (CGE) models such as Elliott et al (2010a,b) indicate that 15% to 25% of abatement might be...

Supply Side Climate Policy and the Green Paradox

Hoel, Michael - 2013

The focus of the green paradox literature has been either on demand-side climate policies or on effects of technological changes. The present paper addresses the question of whether there also might be some kind of green paradox related to supply-side policies, i.e. policies that per-manently...
