The Historical Impact of Coal on Cities
Clay, Karen; Lewis, Joshua A.; Severnini, Edson R. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023
pollution disamenities across space and over time. The paper ends with a discussion of opportunities for future work on coal and …Historically coal has offered both benefits and costs to urban areas. Benefits include coal's role in fueling industry … and thus employment. The primary costs are air pollution and its impact on human health. This paper starts by using a …

Optimal Emission Pricing in the Presence of International Spillovers : Decomposing Leakage and Terms-of-Trade Motives
Böhringer, 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...

Stoking the Fires? Co2 Emissions and Economic Growth
Holtz-Eakin, Douglas - 1992
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...

Pollution Trends and US Environmental Policy : Lessons from the Last Half Century
Shapiro, Joseph S. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2021
This article proposes and evaluates four hypotheses about US pollution and environmental policy over the last half … century. First, air and water pollution have declined substantially, although greenhouse gas emissions have not. Second …, environmental policy explains a large share of these trends. Third, much of the regulation of air and drinking water pollution has …

Buy coal? Deposit markets prevent carbon leakage
Harstad, Bård - 2010
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...

Global Climate Policy Architecture and Political Feasibility : Specific Formulas and Emission Targets to Attain 460 ppm CO2 Concentrations
Bosetti, Valentina - 2009
In pursuit of more aggressive environmental goals, we now advance the dates at which some countries are asked to begin cutting below BAU, within our framework. We also tinker with the values for the parameters in the formulas. The resulting target paths for emissions are run through the WITCH...

Unilateral Measures and Emissions Mitigation
Chatterji, Shurojit - 2009
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...

An Elaborated Global Climate Policy Architecture : Specific Formulas and Emission Targets for All Countries in All Decades
Frankel, Jeffrey A. - 2009
This paper analyzes a detailed plan to set quantitative national limits on emissions of greenhouse gases, following along the lines of the Kyoto Protocol. It is designed to fill in the most serious gaps: the absence of targets extending as far as 2100, the absence of participation by the United...
