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 from residential energy use. A numerical model is used to show that …

A cap on greenhouse gas emissions makes total emissions a fixed common-property resource. Population increases under a … cap are therefore self-limiting: a population increase raises labor and reduces emissions per unit of labor, which lowers …

restore competitiveness, avoid carbon leakage, and reduce world carbon emissions. We analyze the effects of carbon tariffs on … massively shifted from these countries to industrialized countries and world carbon emissions decrease by 0.83 percent, with a … trade, welfare, and carbon emissions in a structural gravity model. We find that the introduction of carbon tariffs reduces …

Carbon dioxide emissions are a major force driving climate change. We construct scenarios of CO2 emissions from fossil …

From the perspective of a net foreign debtor country that has withdrawn … international policy coordination unless the world economy becomes dynamically inefficient …

The European Union fulfills its emissions reductions commitments by means of an emissions trading scheme covering some … part of each member state's economy and by national emissions control in the rest of their economies. The member states … also levy energy/emissions taxes overlapping with the trading scheme. Restricting our focus on cost-effective policies …
