Gathering support for green tax reform : evidence from German household surveys
Ploeg, Frederick van der; Rezai, Armon; Tovar, Miguel - 2021
Green tax reform is unpopular because, typically, the poor are hurt most by the higher prices of carbon-intensive commodities. If revenues from a carbon tax are recycled, it may be feasible to gain popular support for green tax reform. To investigate this, we estimate an EASI demand system from...

Technical efficiency and CO2 reduction potentials : an analysis of the German electricity generating sector
Seifert, Stefan; Cullmann, Astrid; Hirschhausen, … - 2014
In this paper, we analyze the technical efficiency of CO2 reduction potentials of German power and heat plants, using a non-parametric sequential Data Envelopment Analysis. We apply a metafrontier framework to evaluate plant-level efficiencies in the transformation of inputs into desirable...

Modeling and explaining the dynamics of European Union allowance prices at high-frequency
Conrad, Christian; Rittler, Daniel; Rotfuß, Waldemar - 2010
In this paper we model the adjustment process of European Union Allowance (EUA) prices to the releases of announcements at high-frequency controlling for intraday periodicity, volatility clustering and volatility persistence. We find that the high-frequency EUA price dynamics are very well...

Quantifying distortions from pollution in a R&D endogenous growth model
Sequeira, Tiago Neves; Ferreira-Lopes, Alexandra - In: Estudios de economía 41 (2014) 1, pp. 149-159
In this note we study the distortions in an endogenous growth model developed by Grimaud and Tournemaine (2007), where new pieces of knowledge are produced in a R&D sector and used to reduce pollution emissions. Using this model along with a realistic calibration, we conclude that the economy...

Identification and estimation of the environmental Kuznets curve : pairwise differencing to deal with nonlinearity and nonstationarity
Sen, Suphi; Melenberg, Bertrand; Vollebergh, Herman R. J. - 2016
We propose an estimation strategy that accounts for two major problems raised in the empirical literature testing for the prevalence of the inverted U-shaped relation between environmental degradation and economic activity, namely the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis. First, we use...

Do stringent environmental policies deter FDI? : M&A versus Greenfield
Bialek, Sylwia; Weichenrieder, Alfons J. - 2015
This study examines how environmental stringency affects the location decision of foreign direct investments. We analyze a firm-level data set on German outbound FDI and innovate on previous studies by controlling for the mode of entry and applying the mixed-logit analysis. The results show that...

Estimating the Marginal Willingness to Pay Function Without Instrumental Variables
Bishop, Kelly C. - 2017
The hedonic model of Rosen (1974) has become a workhorse for valuing the characteristics of differentiated products despite a number of well-documented econometric problems, including a source of endogeneity that has proven difficult to overcome. Here we outline a simple, likelihood-based...
