De-fueling externalities : causal effects of fuel taxation and mediating mechanisms for delivering climate and health benefits
Basaglia, Pier; Behr, Sophie M.; Drupp, Moritz A. - 2023 - This version: July 2023
reductions in external damages are health benefits, highlighting the importance of accounting for co-pollution impacts of carbon … to reduce climate and health externalities. …

Public policies and long-run growth in a model with environmental degradation
Bonatti, Luigi; Lorenzetti, Lorenza Alexandra - 2022
We study how public policies affects an economy where production emits pollutants and investment in productive assets raises the economy’s overall productivity. We explore two hypotheses about how the accumulation of pollutants affects human well-being. Under the first one, there is no limit...

Regulating stock externalities
Gerlagh, Reyer; Heijmans, Roweno - 2018
We develop a dynamic regulation game for a stock externality under asymmetric information and future market uncertainty. Within this framework, regulation is characterized as the implementation of a welfare-maximization program conditional on informational constraints. We identify the most...

Vertical fiscal externalities and the environment
Böhringer, Christoph; Rivers, Nicholas; Yonezawa, Hidemichi - 2014
federation, we show that vertical fiscal externalities can be the major determinant of the welfare change following environmental … externalities - state governments can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by over 20 percent without any net cost to themselves. …

Asset pricing and the carbon beta of externalities
Edenhofer, Ottmar; Lessmann, Kai; Tahri, Ibrahim - 2021
Climate policy needs to set incentives for actors who face imperfect, distorted markets and large uncertainties about the costs and benefits of abatement. Investors price uncertain assets according to their expected return and risk (carbon beta). We study carbon pricing and financial incentives...

Would my driving pattern change if my neighbor were to buy an emission-free car?
Kverndokk, Snorre; Figenbaum, Erik; Hovi, Jon - 2019
Aiming to reduce the number of brown (polluting) cars on the road, several countries currently promote the purchase and use of green (emission-free) cars through financial and non-financial incentives. We study how such incentives affect consumers who continue to drive brown cars. Using a simple...

Smart cap
Karp, Larry S.; Traeger, Christian - 2021
We introduce a "smart" cap and trade system that eliminates the welfare costs of asymmetric information (“uncertainty”). This cap responds endogenously to technology or macroeconomic shocks, relying on the market price of certificates to aggregate information. It allows policy makers to...

Public transport and urban pollution
Borck, Rainald - 2017
The paper studies the effect of public transport policies on urban pollution. It uses a quantitative equilibrium model … with residential choice and mode choice. Pollution comes from commuting and residential energy use. The model parameters … transport coupled with increasing transit speed affects the equilibrium. In the baseline simulation, total pollution falls by 0 …

Optimal stabilization in an emission permits market
Gerlagh, Reyer; Wan, Roweno J.R.K - 2018
We develop a 2-period emission trading model for a stock pollutant with demand shocks resolving over time. We find precise conditions for efficiency of a stabilization mechanism where cumulative available permits decrease with excess supply in early periods. Our model describes the stabilization...
