: hyperbolic discounting and short planning horizons. We show that, in contrast to the commonly accepted argument, in general … (except for the special case of logarithmic utility) a model with hyperbolic discounting is not observationally equivalent to … one with exponential discounting. We also show that our framework implies a hump-shaped saving rate dynamics that is …

We consider a simple dynamic model of environmental taxation that exhibits time inconsistency. There are two categories of firms, Believers, who take the tax announcements made by the Regulator to face value, and Non-Believers, who perfectly anticipate the Regulator's decisions, albeit at a...

We also identify the cases where hyperbolic discounting is observationally … equivalent to exponential discounting. In those cases, hyperbolic discounting does not affect the saving rate dynamics.

This paper explores the relationship between environmental protection and international capital movements, when tax policy is endogenous (through voting). A two-period general equilibrium model of a small open economy is specified to compare the effects of two different constitutions (commitment...

Ecosystem externalities arise when one use of an ecosystem affects its other uses through the production functions of the ecosystem.We use simulations from a size-spectrum ecosystem model to investigate the ecosystem externality created by fishing of multiple species. The model is based upon...
