Fat Tails, Thin Tails, and Climate Change Policy
Pindyck, Robert S. - 2010
Climate policy is complicated by the considerable compounded uncertainties over the costs and benefits of abatement. We don't even know the probability distributions for future temperatures and impacts, making cost-benefit analysis based on expected values challenging to say the least. There are...

Noncooperative Equilibria in Regional Environmental Policies When Plant Locations are Endogenous
Markusen, James R.; Morey, Edward R.; Olewiler, Nancy - 2021
A two-region model is presented in which an imperfectly competitive firm produces a good with increasing returns at the plant level, and in which shipping costs exist between the two markets. Production of the good causes local pollution, and regional governments can levy pollution taxes or...

The Use of Group-Level Approaches to Environmental and Natural Resource Policy

Back to the Future of Green Powered Economies
Moreno Cruz, Juan Bernardo - 2014
The purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of power density [Watts/m2] into economics. By introducing an explicit spatial structure into a simple general equilibrium model we are able to show how the power density of available energy resources determines the extent of energy...
