In Search of a Rationale for Differentiated Environmental Taxes
Rutherford, Thomas F.; Böhringer, Christoph - 2002
Environmental tax schemes in OECD countries often involve tax rates differentiated across industrial, commercial and household sectors. In this paper, we investigate four potentially important arguments for these deviations from uniform taxation: pre-existing tax distortions, domestic equity...

EU enlargement and immigration
Kraus, Margit; Schwager, Robert - 2000
This paper assesses the consequences of EU enlargement for East West migration. In the theoretical part, we identify … several factors in addition to the reduction of moving costs by which EU membership influences migration. Specifically, EU … increased current migration. Additionally, casual evidence from the 1980s EU South enlargement is examined. Since then no …

Income redistribution and self-selection of immigrants
Corneo, Giacomo G.; Neidhöfer, Guido - 2019
We analyze the effects of governmental redistribution of income on migration patterns,using an Italian administrative … level covariates, migration costs, and when testing for stochastic dominance of the skill distributions of migrants and … stayers. Policy simulations are run in order to gauge the magnitude of these migration effects. Based on estimated …

Welfare effects of property taxation
Löffler, Max; Siegloch, Sebastian - 2021
We analyze the welfare implications of property taxation. Using a sufficient statistics approach, we show that the tax incidence depends on how housing prices, labor and other types of incomes as well as public services respond to property tax changes. Empirically, we exploit the German...

Integrating Bottom-Up into Top-Down: A Mixed Complementarity Approach
Böhringer, Christoph; Rutherford, Thomas F. - 2005
We motivate the formulation of market equilibria as a mixed complementarity problem (MCP) in order to bridge the gap between bottom-up energy system models and top-down general equilibrium models for energy policy analysis. Our objective is primarily pedagogic. We first lay out that the MCP...

Combining Top-Down and Bottom-up in Energy Policy Analysis: A Decomposition Approach
Rutherford, Thomas F.; Böhringer, Christoph - 2006
The formulation of market equilibrium problems as mixed complementarity problems (MCP) permits integration of bottom-up programming models of the energy system into top-down general equilibrium models of the overall economy. Despite the coherence and logical appeal of the integrated MCP...

Decomposing the cost of Kyoto: a global CGE analysis of multilateral policy impacts
Böhringer, Christoph; Rutherford, Thomas F. - 2000
We decompose the economic implications of the Kyoto Protocol at the cross-country level, splitting the total economic impact for each region into contributions from its own emission abatement policy and those from other regions. Our analysis which is based on a large-scale computable general...
