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 …

The Cost of Environmental Policy under Induced Technical Change
Smulders, Sjak; Maria, Corrado Di - CESifo - 2012
Conventional wisdom argues that environmental policy is less costly if environmental policy induces the development of cleaner technologies. In contrast to this argument, we show that the cost of environmental policy (a reduction in emissions) may be larger with induced technical change than...

Optimal Pest Control in Agriculture
Christiaans, Thomas; Eichner, Thomas; Pethig, Rüdiger - CESifo - 2005
Based on economic methodology we model an ecosystem with two species in predator-prey relationship: mice feed on grain and grain feeds on a resource. With optimizing behaviour of individual organisms a short-run ecosystem equilibrium is defined and characterized that depends on the farmer’s...

Can Poductive Government Spending be the Engine of Long-Run Growth When Labor Supply is Engogenous?
Park, Hyun; Philippopoulos, Apostolis - CESifo - 2002
We reexamine the properties of optimal fiscal policy and their implications for implementable capital accumulation. The setup is a standard endogenous growth model with public production services, augmented by elastic labor supply. We show that, when a benevolent government chooses a distorting...
