Monitoring Job Search Effort with Hyperbolic Time Preferences and Non-Compliance: A Welfare Analysis
Cockx, Bart; Ghirelli, Corinna; Linden, Bruno Van der - CESifo - 2013
This paper develops a partial equilibrium job search model to study the behavioral and welfare implications of an Unemployment Insurance (UI) scheme in which job search requirements are imposed on UI recipients with hyperbolic preferences. We show that, if the search requirements are well...

Measuring Strategic Firm Interaction in Product-Quality Choices: The Case of Airline Flight Frequency
Brueckner, Jan K.; Luo, Dan - CESifo - 2013
This paper investigates strategic interaction among airlines in product-quality choices. Using an instrumental … variables approach, the paper estimates flight-frequency reaction functions, which relate an airline’s frequency on a route to … its own characteristics and to the frequencies of competing airlines. A positive reaction function slope is found in some …

Carve-Outs under Airline Antitrust Immunity
Brueckner, Jan K.; Proost, Stef - CESifo - 2009
This paper offers the first formal economic analysis of carve-outs under airline antitrust im- munity. Carve-outs are designed to limit the potential anticompetitive effects of cooperation by alliance partners in hub-to-hub markets, where they provide overlapping nonstop service. While the paper...

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 exceed some limit, the so-called global carbon...

The Role of Carbon Capture and Sequestration Policies for Climate Change Mitigation
Kalkuhl, Matthias - 2012
This paper takes the ‘policy failure' in establishing a global carbon price for efficient emissions reduction as a starting point and analyzes to what extent technology policies can be a reasonable second-best approach. From a supply-side perspective, carbon capture and storage (CCS) policies...

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...

Leakage, Welfare, and Cost-Effectiveness of Carbon Policy
Baylis, Kathy - 2013
We extend the model of Fullerton, Karney, and Baylis (2012 working paper) to explore cost-effectiveness of unilateral climate policy in the presence of leakage. We ignore the welfare gain from reducing greenhouse gas emissions and focus on the welfare cost of the emissions tax or permit scheme....
