A stationary equilibrium model of green technology adoption with endogenous carbon price
Dammann, Felix; Ferrari, Giorgio - 2024
This paper proposes and analyzes a stationary equilibrium model for a competitive industry which endogenously determines the carbon price necessary to achieve a given emission target. In the model, firms are identified by their level of technology and make production, entry, and abatement...

Newell, Richard G.; Stavins, Robert N. - 2002
Policy makers and analysts are often faced with situations where it is unclear whether market-based instruments hold real promise of reducing costs, relative to conventional uniform standards. We develop analytic expressions that can be employed with modest amounts of information to estimate the...

The Timing of National Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions in the Presence of Other Environmental Policies
Dellink, Rob B.; Hofkes, Marjan W. - 2006
This paper shows in an empirical context that substantial cost reductions can be achieved in the implementation of Dutch national climate policy by (i) targeting the policy at the stock of greenhouse gases, thus allowing polluters flexibility in their timing of emission reductions; and (ii)...

Can nature promote development? The role of sustainable tourism for economic growth
Freytag, Andreas; Vietze, Christoph - 2010
We analyze whether biodiversity is enhancing the development process in developing countries (DCs) via increasing tourism receipts in a trade based endogenous growth framework. The underlying assumption is that a rich biodiversity - only if used sustainably - provides a comparative advantage in...
