The Demands for Environmental Regulation and for Trade in the Presence of Private Mitigation
Hotte, Louis; Winer, Stanley L. - CESifo - 2008
We study the nature of individual demands for environmental regulation and for trade openness in the general … afford private mitigation of the adverse consequences of pollution is a central feature of the analysis. Private mitigation … leads to an endogenous, unequal distribution of the health-related consequences of pollution across income groups in a …

Toward a Sustainable Transport Development in Asia and the Pacific
Bhattacharyay, Biswa N. - 2013
Despite remarkable growth during the last decade, Asia and the Pacific still faces extensive basic infrastructure needs. Furthermore, to cope up with the reduced export demand from advanced economies arising out of the ongoing financial crisis, the region needs to enhance its connectivity...

Fuel Efficiency Improvements - Feedback Mechanisms and Distributional Effects in the Oil Market
Aune, Finn Roar - 2015
We study the interactions between fuel efficiency improvements in the transport sector and the oil market, where the efficiency improvements are policy-induced in certain regions of the world. We are especially interested in feedback mechanisms of fuel efficiency such as the rebound effect,...

Should We Give Up After Solyndra? Optimal Technology R&D Portfolios Under Uncertainty
Webster, Mort - 2015
Global climate change and other environmental challenges require the development of new energy technologies with lower emissions. In the near-term, R&D investments, either by government or the private sector, can bring down the costs of these lower emission technologies. However, the results of...

The Choice of Environmental Policy Instruments : Energy Efficiency and Redistribution
Haupt, Alexander; Stadejek, Magdalena - 2021
We analyse optimal environmental policies in a market that is vertically differentiated in terms of the energy efficiency of products. Considering energy taxes, subsidies to firms for investment in more eco-friendly products, and product standards, we are particularly interested in how...

Not so Myopic Consumers - Evidence on Capitalization of Energy Technologies in a Housing Market
Harjunen, Oskari; Liski, Matti - CESifo - 2014
Policies affecting the cost of energy use provide correct incentives for technology choices only if there is a market reward for energy efficiency. We provide clean evidence for market efficiency by considering how heating technologies capitalize into house values using detailed Finnish register...

The Energy Efficiency Rebound Effect in General Equilibrium
Böhringer, Christoph - 2018
We develop a stylized general equilibrium model to decompose the rebound effect of energy efficiency improvements into its partial and general equilibrium components. In our theoretical analysis, we identify key drivers of the general equilibrium rebound effect, including a composition channel,...

Efficient Management of Insecure Fossil Fuel Imports Through Taxing (!) Domestic Green Energy?
Eichner, Thomas - 2013
A small open economy produces a consumer good, green and black energy, and imports fossil fuel at an uncertain price. Unregulated competitive markets are shown to be inefficient. The implied market failures are due to the agents' attitudes toward risk, to risk shifting and the uniform price for...
