Should we be worried about the green paradox? Announcement effects of the acid rain program
Di Maria, Corrado; Lange, Ian; van der Werf, Edwin - 2012
This paper presents the first empirical test of the green paradox hypothesis, according to which well-intended but imperfectly implemented policies may lead to detrimental environmental outcomes due to supply side responses. We use the introduction of the Acid Rain Program in the U.S. as a case...

The Conservation versus Production Trade-off: Does Livestock Intensification Increase Deforestation? The Case of the Brazilian Amazon
Vale, Petterson Molina - 2015
More cattle, less deforestation? Land use intensification in the Amazon is an unexpected phenomenon. Theories of hollow frontier, speculative behaviour and boom-bust all share the prediction that livestock production will remain largely extensive. Yet between 1996 and 2006 productivity of cattle...

Regulating the Environmental Consequences of Preferences for Social Status within an Evolutionary Framework
Sartzetakis, Eftichios S.; Xepapadeas, Anastasios; … - 2015
Taking as given that we are consuming too much and that overconsumption leads to environmental degradation, the present paper examines the regulator's choices between informative advertisement and consumption taxation. We model overconsumption by considering individuals that care about social...

Empirical Analysis of National Income and So2 Emissions in Selected European Countries
Markandya, Anil; Pedroso, Suzette; Golub, Alexander - 2004
Data on GDP per capita and sulfur emissions for twelve European countries were analyzed to determine the relationship between emissions and income in these countries. As a whole, the relationship between sulfur emissions and per capita income is a fourth order polynomial and not a quadratic one...

Nonlinearity, Heterogeneity and Unobserved Effects in the CO2-income Relation for Advanced Countries
Mazzanti, Massimiliano; Musolesi, Antonio - 2013
We study long run carbon emissions-income relationships for advanced countries grouped in policy relevant groups: North America and Oceania, South Europe, North Europe. By relying on recent advances on Generalized Additive Mixed Models (GAMMs) and adopting interaction models, we handle...

Can Property Values Capture Changes in Environmental Health Risks? Evidence from a Stated Preference Study in Italy and the UK
Guignet, Dennis; Alberini, Anna - 2013
Hedonic property value models are often used to place a value on localized amenities and disamenities. In practice, however, results may be affected by (i) omitted variable bias and (ii) whether homebuyers and sellers are aware of, and respond to, the assumed environmental measure. In this paper...

Climate Engineering under Deep Uncertainty and Heterogeneity
Emmerling, Johannes; Manoussi, Vassiliki; Xepapadeas, … - 2016
Climate Engineering, and in particular Solar Radiation Management (SRM) has become a widely discussed climate policy option to study in recent years. However, its potentially strategic nature and unforeseen side effects provide major policy and scientific challenges. We study the role of the SRM...
