The purpose of this paper is to extend the dynamic resource allocation problem by including stock externalities like accumulated CO2 and SO2 emissions as well as flow externalities like waste of energy or pollutants which can be abated (SO2). The objective is to examine how the evolution of...

This study explores how energy tax influences energy R&D investments, which further affect economic welfare, carbon emissions, and climate change under various emission abatement policies. Energy tax, as a market-based instrument, aims to adjust the energy R&D investments to the optimal level....

This paper presents the first investigation of the effects of optimal energy taxation in an urban spatial setting. Rather than exploring the effects of a carbon tax, our approach is to derive the supplements to existing taxes that are needed to support the social optimum. We then analyze the...

We propose a global greenhouse gas (GHG) tax and a universal compensation. The tax penalizes every unit of GHG emission equally and its revenue is distributed to all world residents equally. This system is fair and hence can mobilize most countries to join in. It will motivate all countries to...
