Why finance ministers favor carbon taxes, even if they do not take climate change into account
Franks, Max; Edenhofer, Ottmar; Lessmann, Kai - 2015
Fiscal considerations may shift governmental priorities away from environmental concerns: Finance ministers face strong demand for public expenditures such as infrastructure investments but they are constrained by international tax competition. We develop a multi-region model of tax competition...

Buy coal, cap gas! : markets for fossil fuel deposits when fuel emission intensities differ
Vogt, Angelika; Hagen, Achim; Eisenack, Klaus - 2020
Climate policies can target either the demand or the supply of fossil fuels. While demandside policies have been analyzed in the literature and applied in policy-making, supply-side policies, e.g. deposit policies, are a promising option and a recent research focus. In this paper we study...

The role of standards in eco-innovation : lessons for policymakers
Vollebergh, Herman R. J.; Van der Werf, Edwin - 2013
This paper aims to help policy makers identify how standards can contribute to the effective and cost-efficient development and deployment of eco-innovations (innovations that result in a reduction of environmental impact). To that end we discuss what standards are, how the process of...

Land conversion pace under uncertainty and irreversibility : too fast or too slow?
Di Corato, Luca; Moretto, Michele; Vergalli, Sergio - 2011
In this paper stochastic dynamic programming is used to investigate land conversion decisions taken by a multitude of landholders under uncertainty about the value of environmental services and irreversible development. We study land conversion under competition on the market for agricultural...

The impact of climate change on agriculture : nonlinear effects and aggregation bias in Ricardian models of farm land values
Fezzi, Carlo; Bateman, Ian - 2013
Ricardian (hedonic) analyses of the impact of climate change on farmland values typically assume additively separable effects of temperature and precipitation. Model estimation is implemented on data aggregated across counties or large regions. We investigate the potential bias induced by such...
