Environmental regulation and international trade
Mulatu, Abay; Florax, Raymond J. G. M.; Withagen, Cees - 2004
We empirically investigate the responsiveness of international trade to the stringency of environmental regulation. Stringent environmental regulation may impair the export competitiveness of ‘dirty’ domestic industries, and as a result, ‘pollution havens’ emerge in countries where...

Environmental regulation and competitiveness
Mulatu, Abay; Florax, Raymond J. G. M.; Withagen, Cees - 2001
The potential relationship between domestic environmental regulation and internationalcompetitiveness has evoked various speculations. The common neoclassical train of thought is thatstrict environmental regulation is detrimental to the competitiveness of industry, and that itinduces phenomena...

Limit pricing, climate policies, and imperfect substitution
Meijden, Gerard van der; Withagen, Cees - 2016
The effects of climate policies are often studied under the assumption of perfectly competitive markets for fossil fuels. In this paper, we allow for monopolistic fossil fuel supply. We show that, if fossil and renewable energy sources are perfect substitutes, a phase will exist during which the...

Vulnerability in a stochastic dynamic model
Elbers, Chris; Gunning, Jan Willem - 2003 - Rev.
Most measures of vulnerability are a-theoretic and essentially static. In this paper we use a stochastic Ramsey model to find a household's optimal welfare and we measure vulnerability as the shortfall from the welfare attained if the household consumed permanently at the poverty line. The...

Measurement error in education and growth regressions
Portela, Miguel; Alessie, Rob; Teulings, Coen N. - 2005
The perpetual inventory method used for the construction of education data per country leads to systematic measurement … error. This paper analyses the effect of this measurement error on GDP regressions. There is a systematic difference in the … the measurement error. The standard attenuation bias suggests that using these corrected data would lead to a higher …
