Alcohol, violence and injury-induced mortality : evidence from a modern-day prohibition

Barron, Kai; Parry, Charles D.H.; Bradshaw, Debbie; … - 2022

This paper evaluates the impact of a sudden and unexpected nation-wide alcohol sales ban in South Africa. We find that this policy causally reduced injury-induced mortality in the country by at least 14% during the five weeks of the ban. We argue that this estimate constitutes a lower bound on...

WSBs are found to influence the health behaviour of those not directly affected by the reform, such as never smokers. Our … findings are consistent with a model of joint formation of health behaviours, and suggest the need to account for a wider set …

Calculating tragedy : assessing the costs of terrorism

Frey, Bruno S. (contributor); Lüchinger, Simon (contributor) - 2004

The trends and consequences of terrorist activities are often captured by counting the number of incidents and casualties. More recently, the effects of terrorist acts on various aspects of the economy have been analyzed. These costs are surveyed and put in perspective. As economic consequences...

Carbon dioxide as a risky asset

Bauer, Adam Michael; Proistosescu, Cristian; Wagner, Gernot - 2023

We develop a financial-economic model for carbon pricing with an explicit representation of decision making under risk and uncertainty that is consistent with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's sixth assessment report. We find that this approach provides economic support for the...

Robustness of a simple rule for the social cost of carbon

Rezai, Armon; Ploeg, Frederick van der - 2014

The optimal social cost of carbon is in general equilibrium proportional to GDP if utility is logarithmic, production is Cobb-Douglas, depreciation in 100% every period, climate damages as fraction of production decline exponentially with the stock of atmospheric carbon, and fossil fuel...

Faustmann and the climate

Hoel, Michael; Holtsmark, Bjart; Holtsmark, Katinka - 2012

This paper presents an adjusted Faustmann Rule for optimal harvest of a forest in the presence of a social cost of carbon emissions. A contribution of the paper is to do this within theoretical and numerical frameworks that take account of the dynamics and interactions of the forest's multiple...

Leakage, welfare, and cost-effectiveness of carbon policy

Baylis, Kathy; Fullerton, Don; Karney, Dan - 2013

We extend the model of Fullerton, Karney, and Baylis (2012 working paper) to explore cost-effectiveness of unilateral climate policy in the presence of leakage. We ignore the welfare gain from reducing greenhouse gas emissions and focus on the welfare cost of the emissions tax or permit scheme....
