Adverse Selection as a Policy Instrument : Unraveling Climate Change

Cicala, Steve; Hémous, David; Olsen, Morten - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022

This paper applies principles of adverse selection to overcome obstacles that prevent the implementation of Pigouvian policies to internalize externalities. Focusing on negative externalities from production (such as pollution), we consider settings in which aggregate emissions are known, but...

Prices vs. Quantities : Environmental Regulation and Imperfect Competition

Mansur, Erin T. - 2007

In a market subject to environmental regulation, a firm's strategic behavior affects the production and emissions decisions of all firms. If firms are regulated by a Pigouvian tax, changing emissions will not affect the marginal cost of polluting. However, under a tradable permits system, the...

Industry Compensation and the Costs of Alternative Environmental Policy Instruments

Bovenberg, A. Lans - 2007

This paper explores how the costs of meeting given aggregate targets for pollution emissions change with the imposition of the requirement that key pollution-related industries be compensated for potential losses of profit from the pollution regulation. Using analytically and numerically solved...

A Tax on Output of the Polluting Industry is Not a Tax on Pollution : The Importance of Hitting the Target

Fullerton, Don - 1999

We explore the effects of environmental taxes that imprecisely target pollution. A review of actual policies indicates few (if any) examples of a true tax on pollution. More typically, environmental taxes target an input or output that is correlated with pollution. We construct a simple...

Environmental Tax Interactions When Pollution Affects Health or Productivity

Williams, Roberton C. - 2000

Numerous recent studies have indicated that interactions with a tax-distorted labor market increase the cost of pollution regulation. However, these studies have made restrictive assumptions regarding individual preferences and have ignored key links between pollution, human health, and labor...

Health Effects in a Model of Second-Best Environmental Taxation or Reconsidering "Reconsidering the Tax-Interaction Effect"

Williams, Roberton C. - 2000

The literature on environmental taxation in the presence of pre-existing distortionary taxes has shown that the interactions with pre-existing taxes tend to raise the cost of an environmental tax, and thus that the optimal environmental tax in that context is less than marginal environmental...

Green Tax Reform and Competitiveness

Koskela, Erkki - 1999

This paper develops a model of a small open economy that produces an export good with domestic labour and imported energy and is stuck in an unemployment situation resulting from an excessive fixed net-of-tax wage rate. We study a revenue-neutral green tax reform that substitutes energy for wage...
