Games of Climate Change with International Trade
Kemfert, Claudia; Lise, Wietze; Tol, Richard - In: Environmental & Resource Economics 28 (2004) 2, pp. 209-232
We analyse games of greenhouse gas emission reduction in which the emissions and the emission reduction costs of one country depend on other countries' emission abatement. In an analytically tractable model, we show that international trade effects on costs and emissions can either increase or...

Fiscal limits on first-best climate policy: A CGE analysis for Europe
Tol, Richard; Verde, Stefano F - Department of Economics, School of Business, Management … - 2013
We use a standard computable general equilibrium model to explore the fiscal implications of stringent carbon dioxide emission reduction in Europe. Both the immediate targets (20-30% by 2020) and the medium-term targets (80-90% by 2050) for abatement can be met with a carbon tax that is modest...
