Sources of Comparative Advantage in Polluting Industries

Broner, Fernando - 2012

We study the determinants of comparative advantage in polluting industries. We combine data on environmental policy at the country level with data on pollution intensity at the industry level to show that countries with laxer environmental regulation have a comparative advantage in polluting...

Subsidizing Mass Adoption of Electric Vehicles : Quasi-Experimental Evidence from California

Muehlegger, Erich - 2018

Little is known about electric vehicle (EV) demand by low- and middle-income households. In this paper, we exploit a policy that provides exogenous variation in large EV subsidies targeted at the mass market in California. Using transaction-level data, we estimate three important policy...

Long-Run Environmental Accounting in the U.S. Economy

Muller, Nicholas Z. - 2022

This paper estimates an augmented measure of national output inclusive of environmental pollution damage in the United States economy over a 60-year period. The paper reports two primary findings. First, air pollution intensity declined precipitously from the 1950s to the modern era. Air...

Bringing Satellite-Based Air Quality Estimates Down to Earth

Fowlie, Meredith; Rubin, Edward; Walker, Reed - 2021

We use state-of-the-art, satellite-based PM2.5 estimates to assess the extent to which the EPA's existing, monitor-based measurements over- or under-estimate true exposure to PM2.5 pollution. Treating satellite-based estimates as truth implies a substantial number of "policy...

Distributional Impacts in a Comprehensive Climate Policy Package

Metcalf, Gilbert E. - 2010

This paper provides a simple analytic approach for measuring the burden of carbon pricing that does not require sophisticated and numerically intensive economic models but which is not limited to restrictive assumptions of forward shifting of carbon prices. We also show how to adjust for the...

How Does State-Level Carbon Pricing in the United States Affect Industrial Competitiveness?

Casey, Brendan; Gray, Wayne B.; Linn, Joshua; … - 2022

Pricing carbon emissions from a jurisdiction could harm the competitiveness of local firms, causing the leakage of emissions and economic activity to other regions. Past research concentrated on national carbon prices, but the impacts of subnational carbon prices could be more severe due to the...

Distributional Implications of Alternative U.S. Greenhouse Gas Control Measures

Rausch, Sebastian - 2013

We analyze the distributional and efficiency impacts of different allowance allocation schemes for a national cap and trade system using the USREP model, a new recursive dynamic computable general equilibrium model of the U.S. economy. We consider allocation schemes applied to a comprehensive...

Transition to Clean Technology

Acemoglu, Daron - 2015

We develop a microeconomic model of endogenous growth where clean and dirty technologies compete in production and innovation—in the sense that research can be directed to either clean or dirty technologies. If dirty technologies are more advanced to start with, the potential transition to...

An Empirical Assessment of Alternative Models of Risky Decision Making

Baker, Joanna R. - 2010

In this paper, we assess the degree to which four of the most commonly used models of risky decision making can explain the choices individuals make when faced with risky prospects. To make this assessment, we use experimental evidence for two random samples of young adults. Using a robust,...
