Material source and waste taxes in competitive equilibrium

Gerlagh, Reyer; Lorang, Etienne - 2024

We develop a framework for the representation of material flows in competitive equilibrium. Material balances track material flows, which adjust endogenously to economic transactions. We assume negative environmental effects of resource extraction and waste deposition and show that taxing...

Bolz, Simon J.; Naumann, Fabrice; Richter, Philipp M. - 2024

Expanding on a general equilibrium model of offshoring, we analyze the effects of a unilateral emissions tax increase on the environment, income, and inequality. Heterogeneous firms allocate labor across production tasks and emissions abatement, while only the most productive can benefit from...

Measures against carbon leakage : combining output-based allocation with consumption taxes

Böhringer, Christoph; Rosendahl, Knut Einar; … - 2024

Countries with ambitious climate targets are concerned about carbon leakage to countries with more lenient or no carbon pricing. A common policy measure against leakage is output-based allocation of emissions allowances, whose effectiveness could be further enhanced by consumption taxes levied...

Choosing between causal interpretations : an experimental study

Ambuehl, Sandro; Thysen, Heidi C. - 2024

Good decision-making requires understanding the causal impact of our actions. Often, we only have access to correlational data that could stem from multiple causal mechanisms with divergent implications for choice. Our experiments comprehensively characterize choice when subjects face...

Authoritarian leaders share conspiracy theories to attack opponents, promote in-group unity, shift blame, and undermine democratic institutions

Ren, Zhiying; Carton, Andrew M.; Dimant, Eugen; … - 2022
