Combining international cap-and-trade with national carbon taxes
Heindl, Peter; Wood, Peter J.; Jotzo, Frank - 2014
This paper examines the effects of combining an international cap-and-trade scheme with national carbon taxes. We consider a two-country stochastic partial equilibrium model with log-normally distributed uncertainty. The situation is analogous to the situation where European countries impose...

Böhringer, Christoph; Rutherford, Thomas F. - 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...

Boeters, Stefan (contributor); Feil, Michael (contributor) - 2008
Labour market reforms that are designed to stimulate labour supply at the lower end of the wage distribution can never be precisely restricted to affect only the target group. Spillovers to and feedback from other segments of the labour market are unavoidable and may counteract the direct...
