Stoking the Fires? Co2 Emissions and Economic Growth
Holtz-Eakin, Douglas; Selden, Thomas M. - 2021
Over the past decade, concern over potential global warming has focused attention on the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, and there is an active debate concerning the desirability of reducing emissions. At the heart of this debate is the future path of both greenhouse gas...

Optimal Emission Pricing in the Presence of International Spillovers : Decomposing Leakage and Terms-of-Trade Motives
Boehringer, Christoph - 2010
Carbon control policies in OECD countries commonly differentiate emission prices in favor of energy-intensive industries. While leakage provides a efficiency argument for differential emission pricing, the latter may be a disguised beggar-thy-neighbor policy to exploit terms of trade. Using an...

Buy Coal? Deposit Markets Prevent Carbon Leakage
Harstad, Bård - 2013
If a coalition of countries implements climate policies, nonparticipants tend to consume more, pollute more, and invest too little in renewable energy sources. In response, the coalition's equilibrium policy distorts trade and is not time-consistent. This paper derives conditions for when...

Unilateral Measures and Emissions Mitigation
Chatterji, Shurojit - 2010
We discuss global climate mitigation that builds on existing unilateral measures to cut emissions. We document and discuss the rationale for such unilateral measures argue that such measures have the potential to generate positive spillover effects both within and across countries. In a simple...

The Social Cost of Carbon Revisited
Pindyck, Robert S. - 2016
An estimate of the social cost of carbon (SCC) is key to climate policy. But how should we estimate the SCC? A common approach is to use an integrated assessment model (IAM) to simulate time paths for the atmospheric CO2 concentration, its impact on global mean temperature, and the resulting...
