Malapportionment, Gasoline Taxes, and Climate Change
Broz, J. Lawrence - 2010

Decarbonization and Electrification in the Long Run
Holland, Stephen P.; Mansur, Erin; Yates, Andrew J. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022
Decarbonization and electrification will require a transformed electricity grid. Our long-run model of entry and exit … of generation and storage capacity captures crucial aspects of the electricity industry such as time-varying demand for … electricity, intermittency of renewables, and intertemporal optimization of storage. We derive several theoretical possibilities …

Lans Bovenberg, A.; Goulder, Lawrence H. - In: Handbook of public economics : volume 3, (pp. 1471-1545). 2002
This chapter examines government policy alternatives for protecting the environment. We compare environmentally motivated taxes and various non-tax environmental policy instruments in terms of their efficiency and distributional impacts. Much of the analysis is performed in a second-best setting...

On green growth with sustainable capital
Basu, Parantap; Jamasb, Tooraj - 2020
We develop an endogenous growth model to address a long standing question whether sustainable green growth is feasible by re-allocating resource use between green (natural) and man-made (carbon intensive) capital. Although the model is general we relate it to the UKís green growth policy...

Hassler, J.; Krusell, P.; Smith, A.A. - In: Handbook of macroeconomics : volume 2, v. 2A-2B SET, (pp. 1893-2008). 2016
We discuss climate change and resource scarcity from the perspective of macroeconomic modeling and quantitative evaluation. Our focus is on climate change: we build a very simple “integrated assessment model,” ie, a model that integrates the global economy and the climate in a unified...
