Prices versus quantities with morally concerned consumers

Schmidt, Klaus M.; Herweg, Fabian - 2021

It is widely believed that an environmental tax (price regulation) and cap-and-trade (quantity regulation) are equally efficient in controlling pollution when there is no uncertainty. We show that this is not the case if some consumers (firms, local governments) are morally concerned about...

Climate Minsky Moments and endogenous financial crises

Kaldorf, Matthias; Rottner, Matthias - 2024

Does a shift to ambitious climate policy increase financial fragility? In this paper, we develop a quantitative macroeconomic model with carbon taxes and endogenous financial crises to study such "Climate Minsky Moments". By reducing asset returns, an accelerated transition to net zero exerts...

Cost-efficient pathways to decarbonizing Portland cement production

Glenk, Gunther; Kelnhofer, Anton; Meier, Rebecca; … - 2023

Accounting for nearly 8% of global annual carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, the cement industry is considered difficult to decarbonize. While a sizeable number of abatement levers for Portland cement production are technologically ready for deployment, many are still viewed as prohibitively...

How effective is carbon pricing? : a machine learning approach to policy evaluation

Abrell, Jan; Kosch, Mirjam; Rausch, Sebastian - 2021

While carbon taxes are generally seen as a rational policy response to climate change, knowledge about their performance from an expost perspective is still limited. This paper analyzes the emissions and cost impacts of the UK CPS, a carbon tax levied on all fossil-fired power plants. To...

Between- and within-country distributional impacts from harmonizing carbon prices in the EU

Fredriksson, Gustav; Landis, Florian; Rausch, Sebastian - 2021

This paper examines the distributional impacts from (i) harmonizing prices for carbon dioxide emissions across sectors and EU countries and (ii) using alternative rules for carbon revenue distribution. We develop a numerical multi-country multi-sector general equilibrium model of the EU-27...

Static Costs vs. Dynamic Benefits of a Minimum Quality Standard under Cournot Competition

Napel, Stefan; Oldehaver, Gunnar - 2007

Imposing a minimum quality standard (MQS) is conventionally regarded as harmful if firms compete in quantities. This, however, ignores dynamic effects. We show that an MQS can hinder collusion, resulting in dynamic welfare gains that reduce and may even outweigh the usual static losses. Verdicts...

Entry regulation and entrepreneurship : empirical evidence from a German natural experiment

Rostam-Afschar, Davud - 2010

The amendment to the German Trade and Crafts Code in 2004 offers a natural experiment to asses the causal effects of this reform on the probabilities of being self-employed and transition into and out of self-employment, using cross-sections (2002-2006) of German microcensus data. This study...
