Incidence and Environmental Effects of Distortionary Subsidies
Heutel, Garth - 2014
Government policies that are not intended to address environmental concerns can nonetheless distort prices and affect firms' emissions. We present an analytical general equilibrium model to study the effect of distortionary subsidies on factor prices and on environmental outcomes. We model an...

Evolution of Assessments of the Economics of Global Warming : Changes in the Dice Model, 1992 – 2017
Nordhaus, William D. - 2017
Many areas of the natural and social sciences involve complex systems that link together multiple sectors. Integrated assessment models (IAMs) are approaches that integrate knowledge from two or more domains into a single framework, and these are particularly important for climate change. One of...

Six Distributional Effects of Environmental Policy
Fullerton, Don - 2011
While prior literature has identified various effects of environmental policy, this note uses the example of a proposed carbon permit system to illustrate and discuss six different types of distributional effects: (1) higher prices of carbon-intensive products, (2) changes in relative returns to...

Optimal Environmental Taxation in the Presence of Other Taxes : General Equilibrium Analyses
Bovenberg, A. Lans - 2014
This paper examines the optimal setting of environmental taxes in economies where other, distortionary taxes are present. We employ analytical and numerical models to explore the degree to which, in a second best economy, optimal environmental tax rates differ from the rates implied by the...

Optimal Carbon Abatement in a Stochastic Equilibrium Model with Climate Change
Hambel, Christoph - 2015
This paper studies a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model involving climate change. Our frame- work allows for feedback effects on the temperature dynamics. We are able to match estimates of future temperature distributions provided in the fifth assessment report of the IPCC (2014). We...

The Cost-Effectiveness of Alternative Instruments for Environmental Protection in a Second-Best Setting
Goulder, Lawrence H.; Parry, Ian W. H.; Williams, … - 2021
This paper uses analytical and numerical general equilibrium models to study the costs of achieving pollution … technologies, and explore how costs change with the magnitude of pre-existing taxes and the extent of pollution abatement. We find … that the presence of distortionary taxes raises the costs of pollution abatement under each instrument relative to its …

Policies for Green Design
Fullerton, Don; Wu, Wenbo - 2022
We analyze alternative policies such as a disposal content fee, a subsidy for recyclable designs, unit pricing of household disposal, a deposit-refund system, and a manufacturer `take-back' requirement. In order to identify the problem being addressed, we build a simple general equilibrium model...

Efficiency Wages, Unemployment, and Environmental Policy
Heutel, Garth; Zhang, Xin - 2022
We study the incidence of pollution taxes and their impact on unemployment in an analytical general equilibrium … efficiency wage model. We find closed-form solutions for the effect of a pollution tax on unemployment, factor prices, and output …
