Dynamics of China's regional development and pollution
Groot, Henri L. F. de; Withagen, Cees; Zhou, Minliang - 2001
covering the period 1982-1997. The types of pollution included in the studyare wastewater, waste gas and solid waste. We … consider the development of the sources ofpollution in a pooled cross-section analysis considering the pollution in absolute … emissions tends to decelerate, but accelerates again at high levels of GDP per capita.Water pollution decreases with per capita …

Optimal carbon tax with a dirty backstop oil, coal or renewables?
Ploeg, Frederick van der; Withagen, Cees - 2011
Optimal climate policy is studied. Coal, the abundant resource, contributes more CO2 per unit of energy than the exhaustible resource, oil. We characterize the optimal sequencing oil and coal and departures from the Herfindahl rule. “Preference reversal” can take place. If coal is very dirty...

Is there really a green paradox?
Ploeg, Frederick van der; Withagen, Cees - 2012 - Revised 21 June 2012
Optimal climate policy is studied in a Ramsey growth model with exhaustible oil reserves, an infinitelyelastic supply of renewables, stock-dependent oil extraction costs and convex climate damages. Weconcentrate on economies with an initial capital stock below that of the steady state of the...

Optimal Carbon Tax with a Dirty Backstop - Oil, Coal, or Renewables?
van der Ploeg, Rick; Withagen, Cees - 2021
Optimal climate policy is studied. Coal, the abundant resource, contributes more CO2 per unit of energy than the exhaustible resource, oil. We characterize the optimal sequencing oil and coal and departures from the Herfindahl rule. “Preference reversal” can take place. If coal is very dirty...

Is There Really a Green Paradox?
van der Ploeg, Rick; Withagen, Cees - 2021
The Green Paradox states that, in the absence of a tax on CO2 emissions, subsidizing a renewable backstop such as solar or wind energy brings forward the date at which fossil fuels become exhausted and consequently global warming is aggravated. We shed light on this issue by solving a model of...
