be able to expropriate innovations in new abatement technology ex post. This suggests that incentives for environmental R …&D may be lower than the incentives for market goods R&D. This in turn may be used as an argument for environmental R …&D getting more public support than other R&D. In this paper we systematically compare the incentives for environmental R&D with …

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...

Optimal Environmental Policy with Network Effects : Will Pigovian Taxation Lead to Excess Inertia?

Greaker, Mads - 2014

We study a dynamic model with two competing durable goods; one dirty, the other clean. Due to network effects a consumer who adopts the dirty good today will increase the incentive future consumers have to adopt the dirty good. Thus, a consumer who chooses the dirty good, in a sense causes more...

What is the Best Environmental Policy? Taxes, Permits and Rules under Economic and Environmental Uncertainty

Angelopoulos, Konstantinos; Economides, George; … - 2021

We study the importance of uncertainty and public finance to the welfare ranking of three environmental policy instruments: pollution taxes, pollution permits and Kyoto-like numerical rules for emissions. The setup is the basic stochastic neoclassical growth model augmented with the assumptions...

Self-Financing Environmental Mechanisms

Breitscheidel, Jörg; Gersbach, Hans - 2021

We explore the design of self-financing tax/subsidy mechanisms to solve hold-up problems in environmental regulation. Under Cournot competition, announcing the subsidy rate seems to be preferable to announcing the tax rate. Moreover, for constant marginal damage the hold-up problem can always be...

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...

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...

The Role of Fiscal Instruments in Environmental Policy

Kosonen, Katri - 2009

Environmental protection is one of Europe's key values. The EU has set clear policy objectives to achieve its environmental goals. The EU has favoured market-based instruments, among which fiscal instruments to tackle the climate change problem. This paper takes a policy-making perspective and...

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...
