Adaptation and mitigation in global pollution problems : economic impacts of productivity, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity
Ebert, Udo; Welsch, Heinz - 2011

In our analysis we distinguish between cooperative and … behavior with respect to emission and adaptation choices. …

Optimal management of markets for bankable emission permits
Lintunen, Jussi; Kuusela, Olli-Pekka - 2015
We examine the optimal management of emission permit markets when banking but not borrowing of permits is allowed. The regulator maximizes expected social welfare through an optimal allocation rule in an infinite horizon setting. The policy is second-best as the emission cap is set before the...

Unilateral climate policies and green paradoxes : extraction costs matter
Kollenbach, Gilbert - 2014
Under which conditions unilateral tightening of climate policy causes a weak or strong green paradox or even decreases social welfare has recently been studied by Hoel (2011). Hoel assumes that the costs of extracting fossil fuel are linear in output. We extend his model by allowing for...

The politics of market linkage : linking domestic climate policies with international political economy
Green, Jessica F.; Sterner, Thomas; Wagner, Gernot - 2014
After twenty years of global negotiations, the world is still far from a comprehensive climate agreement. The "top-down" approach embodied by the Kyoto Protocol has all but stalled, chiefly due to disagreements over levels of ambition and objections to financial transfers. To avoid those...

Subsidizing human capital to overcome the green paradox : a demand-side approach
Steinkraus, Arne - 2016
This paper shifts the perspective of the recent green paradox literature towards the demand side. Based on a simple model, I show that a subsidy on input factors in a Cobb-Douglas production function may contribute substantially to postponing resource extraction into the future and, thereby, to...

Carbon pricing under binding political constraints
Jenkins, Jesse D.; Karplus, Valerie J. - Joint Institute for Strategic Energy Analysis - 2016
The economic prescription for climate change is clear: price carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gas emissions to internalize climate damages. In practice, a variety of political economy constraints prevent the introduction of a carbon price equal to the full social cost of emissions. This...

On the interrelation between carbon offsetting and other voluntary climate protection activities : theory and empirical evidencey
Lange, Andreas; Schwirplies, Claudia; Ziegler, Andreas - 2014
This paper provides theoretical and empirical insights on the extent to which the availability of carbon offsetting may substitute the individual use of other carbon-reducing measures. Theoretically, we demonstrate an ambiguous impact of offsetting on the use of other measures and derive...
