We investigate the impact of pollution by focusing on the interaction between location advantages and … activity tends to become less attractive with pollution, and thus less likely. Moreover, we provide a simple necessary and …

This paper empirically studies how emission pricing affects capital replacement and adoption of embodied environmental technology. A pricing policy encourages firms to accelerate retirement of old capital assets and replace them with newer more efficient assets, but this may crowd out...

Up to now a clear theoretical and methodological framework for economic-environmental analysis of environmentally damaging subsidies is lacking. Environmentally damaging subsidies are all kinds of direct and indirect subsidies aimed at achieving a certain (often non-environmental) goal that...

We propose the river pollution claims problem to distribute a pollution budget among agents located along a river. A … location of pollution along the river is an important concern in addition to fairness. We characterize the class of externality … propose two novel axioms that are motivated by the river pollution context and use them to characterize two priority rules. …

Using a general equilibrium model with heterogeneous waste, this paper studies optimal waste policy when households have to exert separation effort to produce near-homogeneous waste streams suitable for recycling. Our model explicitly allows for changes in the composition (quality) of waste...

We analyse optimal abatement and carbon pricing strategies under a variety of economic, temperature and damage risks. Economic growth, convex damages and temperature-dependent risks of climatic tipping points lead to higher growth rates, but gradual resolution of uncertainty lowers them. For...
