Using Taxes to Meet an Emission Target
Harris, Robert I. - 2020
A sizeable number of papers beginning with Roberts and Spence (1976) have studied the use of price floors and ceilings (or "collars") to manage prices in tradable permit markets. In contrast, economists have only recently begun examining polices to manage quantities under a pollution tax....

Can a Unilateral Carbon Tax Reduce Emissions Elsewhere?
Elliott, Joshua - 2013
Most CGE models do not allow for negative leakage. In this paper, we use a full CGE model with many countries and many goods to measure effects in a way that allows for negative leakage. We vary elasticities of substitution and confirm the analytical model's prediction that negative leakage...

Will the Paris Accord Accelerate Climate Change?
Kotlikoff, Laurence J. - 2016
Finally we question the standard use of infinitely-lived, single-agent models, which assume, unrealistically, intergenerational altruism in determining optimal abatement policy. Their prescriptions can differ, potentially dramatically, from those needed to correct the negative climate...

Belts and Suspenders : Interactions Among Climate Policy Regulations
Levinson, Arik - 2010
With few exceptions, economic analyses of "cap-and-trade" permit trading mechanisms for climate change mitigation have been based on first-best scenarios without pre-existing distortions or regulations. The reason is obvious: interactions between permit trading and other regulations will be...

On a World Climate Assembly and the Social Cost of Carbon
Weitzman, Martin - 2016
This paper postulates the conceptually useful allegory of a futuristic "World Climate Assembly" (WCA) that votes for a … emitter's single-peaked most-preferred world price of carbon emissions to the world "Social Cost of Carbon" (SCC). The second … and third propositions relate the WCA-voted world price of carbon to the world SCC. I argue that the WCA-voted price and …

How a Minimum Carbon Price Commitment Might Help to Internalize the Global Warming Externality
Weitzman, Martin L. - 2016
It is difficult to resolve the global warming free-rider externality problem by negotiating many different quantity targets. By contrast, negotiating a single internationally-binding minimum carbon price (the proceeds from which are domestically retained) counters self-interest by incentivizing...
