Multiple pollutants, uncovered sectors, and suboptimal environmental policies
Fullerton, Don; Karney, Dan - 2014
In our analytical general equilibrium model where two polluting inputs can be substitutes or complements in production, we study the effects of a tax on one pollutant in two cases: one where both pollutants face taxes and the second where the other pollutant is subject to a permit policy. In...

Unilateral CO2 reduction policy with more than one carbon energy source
Daubanes, Julien Xavier; Henriet, Fanny; Schubert, Katheline - 2020
We examine an open economy's strategy to reduce its carbon emissions by replacing its consumption of coal - very carbon intensive - with gas - less so. Unlike the standard theoretical approach to carbon leakage, we show that unilateral CO2 reduction policies generate a higher leakage rate in the...

Carbon tariffs : an analysis of the trade, welfare and emission effects
Larch, Mario; Wanner, Joschka - 2014
Carbon tariffs are one prominently discussed environmental policy. The proponents stress the carbon tariffs' ability to mitigate the potential negative effect of environmental-friendly production on competitiveness, to avoid carbon leakage and to reduce world carbon emissions. We analyze the...

Pollution and city size : can cities be too small?
Borck, Rainald; Tabuchi, Takatoshi - 2016
We study the optimal and equilibrium size of cities in a city system model with environmental pollution. Pollution is …, if pollution is local or per capita pollution increases with population, we find that equilibrium cities are too large …. When pollution is global and per capita pollution declines with city size, however, equilibrium cities may be too small …

Effects of carbon pricing and other climate policies on CO2 emissions
Kohlscheen, Emanuel; Moessner, Richhild; Takáts, Előd - 2021
We provide ex-post empirical analysis of the effects of climate policies on carbon dioxide emissions at the aggregate national level. Our results are based on a comprehensive database of 121 countries. As climate policies we examine carbon taxes and emissions trading systems (ETS), as well as...

Using output-based allocations to manage volatility and leakage in pollution markets
Meunier, Guy; Montero, Juan-Pablo; Ponssard, Jean-Pierre - 2017
Output-based allocations (OBAs) are typically used in emission trading schemes to mitigate leakage in sectors at risk. Recent work has shown they may also help to stabilize prices in markets subject to supply and demand shocks. We extend previous work to simultaneously include both leakage and...

More gas, less coal, and less CO2? : unilateral CO2 reduction policy with more than one carbon energy source
Daubanes, Julien X.; Henriet, Fanny; Schubert, Katheline - 2017
We examine an open economy's strategy to reduce its carbon emissions by replacing its consumption of coal - very carbon intensive - with gas - less so. Unlike the standard analysis of carbon leakage, unilateral carbon-reduction policies with more than one carbon energy source may turn...

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...
