More Gas, Less Cole, and Less CO2? Unilateral CO2 Reduction Policy with More than One Carbon Energy Source
Daubanes, Julien - 2017
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 analysis of carbon leakage, unilateral carbon-reduction policies with more than one carbon energy source may turn...

Climate Policies : A Burden or a Gain?
Bréchet, Thierry; Tulkens, Henry - 2021
That climate policies are costly is evident and therefore often creates major fears. But the alternative (no action) also has a cost. Mitigation costs and damages incurred depend on what the climate policies are; moreover, they are substitutes. This brings climate policies naturally in the realm...

Coaseian Biodiversity Conservation. Who Benefits?
Eichner, Thomas - 2017
We consider a world economy, in which the global public good 'biodiversity' is positively correlated with that share of …-to-pay for biodiversity conservation is positive in 'rich' developed countries (North), but very low in 'poor' developing … welfare when the North financially supports biodiversity conservation in the South – as stipulated in the Convention on …

A Micro-Level 'Consumer Approach' to Species Population Dynamics
Christiaans, Thomas; Eichner, Thomas; Pethig, Rudiger - 2021
In this paper we develop a micro ecosystem model whose basic entities are representative organisms which behave as if maximizing their net offspring under constraints. Net offspring is increasing in prey biomass intake, declining in the loss of own biomass to predators and Allee's Law applies....

Six Distributional Effects of Environmental Policy
Fullerton, Don - 2011
While prior literature has identified various effects of environmental policy, this note uses the example of a proposed carbon permit system to illustrate and discuss six different types of distributional effects: (1) higher prices of carbon-intensive products, (2) changes in relative returns to...

Why Does Environmental Policy in Representative Democracies Tend to Be Inadequate? A Preliminary Public Choice Analysis
Kollmann, Andrea - 2010
There is a widespread consensus among the most important players in developed countries (voters, politicians, producers, traditional and green interest groups and bureaucracies) that a shift towards an eco-social market economy is essential for sustainable growth. Nevertheless, market-based...

Global Warming and Extreme Events : Rethinking the Timing and Intensity of Environmental Policy
Chen, Yu-Fu - 2010
The possibility of low-probability extreme events has reignited the debate over the optimal intensity and timing of climate policy. In this paper we therefore contribute to the literature by assessing the implications of low-probability extreme events on environmental policy in a continuous-time...
