International carbon markets are frequently propagated as an efficient instrument for reducing CO2 emissions. We argue …, it may be more promising to negotiate agreements with non-tradable emissions caps. …

Economists tend to view a uniform emissions price as the most cost-effective approach to reducing greenhouse gas … emissions. This paper offers a different view, focusing on economies where society values the well-being of future generations …

tailored to the economic and emissions characteristics of New Zealand. Distinguishing features in the model include methane …-reducing technologies for livestock, bioheat from forestry residues, and explicit representation of output-based allocations of emissions …

popular belief, it is dirty (and not clean) innovations that should be excluded from patent protection to reduce emissions. In … the shortrun, removing patent protection on dirty technology increases emissions. However, the reduced markup on dirty … technology can induce clean innovation, reducing emissions in the long-run. We use a general equilibrium model to show both …

-emitting activities to non-abating regions. In this paper, we evaluate the potential for CO2 abatement and the emissions `leakage' effect … elasticity estimates suggest that around 30% of emissions reductions in industrialized countries would be compensated by an … increase of emissions in non-abating countries. …
