Koen, Vincent; Herd, Richard; Wang, Xiao; Chalaux, Thomas - 2013

Optimal emission pricing in the presence of international spillovers : decomposing leakage and terms-of-trade motives
Böhringer, Christoph; Lange, Andreas; Rutherford, Thomas F. - 2012
Carbon leakage provides an efficiency argument for unilateral climate policy to differentiate emission prices in favor of emission-intensive and trade-exposed sectors. At the same time, differential emission pricing can be (mis-)used as a beggar-thy-neighbor policy to exploit terms of trade....

A dynamic rural-urban-natural environment interactive spatial model of Palangkaraya City in Indonesia
Miyata, Yuzuru; Shibusawa, Hiroyuki - 2014
Permana and Miyata (2009) showed a partial equilibrium urban economic model to explain the existence of illegal settlements in flood prone areas in Palangkaraya City in Central Kalimantan Province, introducing the expected damage rate on household asset. Applying this new idea, one can derive...

Taxing pollutuion : agglomeration and welfare consequences
Berliant, Marcus C.; Peng, Shin Kun; Wang, Ping - 2011
This paper demonstrates that a pollution tax with a fixed cost component may lead, by itself, to segregation between clean and dirty firms without heterogeneous preferences or increasing returns. We construct a simple model with two locations and two industries (clean and dirty) where pollution...

Climate Change Around the World
Krusell, Per; Smith, Anthony A. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022
The economic effects of climate change vary across both time and space. To study these effects, this paper builds a global economy-climate model featuring a high degree of geographic resolution. Carbon emissions from the use of energy in production increase the Earth's (average) temperature and...
