This paper estimates the Marginal Abatement Cost Curve (MACC) of CO2 emissions in China based on a provincial panel for … optimal specification controlling for various covariates is identified econometrically. A scenario simulation of China’s 40 …-45 percent carbon intensity reduction based on our MACC is illustrated. Our simulation results show that China would incur a 559 …

In most countries, environmental regulation focuses on local pollution, which causes damages near the emission source … pollutants can either be substitutes or complements in production, implying that local pollution regulation may either intensify … or reduce global warming concerns. We exploit new data on US GHG emissions and variation in local pollution regulation …
