Quasi-experimental methods in environmental economics : opportunities and challenges

Deschênes, Olivier; Meng, Kyle C. - 2018

This paper examines the application of quasi-experimental methods in environmental economics. We begin with two observations: i) standard quasi-experimental methods, first applied in other microeconomic fields, typically assume unit-level treatments that do not spill over across units; (ii)...

Optimal Soil Management and Environmental Policy

Lafforgue, Gilles; Oueslati, Walid - 2005

This paper studies the effects of environmental policy on the farmer's soil optimal management. We consider a dynamic economic model of soil erosion where the intensity use of inputs allows the farmer to control soil losses. Therefore, inputs use induces a pollution which is accentuated by the...

Coping with increasing tides: technological change, agglomeration dynamics and climate hazards in an agent-based evolutionary model

Taberna, Alessandro; Filatova, Tatiana; Roventini, Andrea; … - 2021

We then introduce five scenarios considering flood hazards characterized by … regions. If strong flood hazards hit frequently the Coastal region before agglomeration forces trigger high levels of …

Internationally coordinated emission permit policies : an option for withdrawers from the Kyoto protocol?

Bednar-Friedl, Birgit; Farmer, Karl - 2009

This paper investigates the welfare costs of unilateral versus internationally coordinated emission permit policies in a two-country overlapping generations model with producer carbon emissions. We show that, for a net foreign debtor country, the domestic welfare costs of a unilateral domestic...

Equity effects of energy affordability interventions

Farrell, Niall - 2023

This paper compares the distributional effects of price cap and lump sum transfer policies to aid the affordability of subsistence electricity consumption. A lump sum transfer is more progressive than a comparable price cap on all units of electricity. We identify conditions under which these...

Use Less, Pay More: Can Climate Policy Address the Unfortunate Event for Being Poor?

Bretschger, Lucas; Suphaphiphat, Nujin - 2012

The paper develops a two-region endogenous growth model with climate change affecting the countries' capital stocks negatively. We compare two different policies aimed at supporting less developed countries: climate mitigation by rich countries, which diminishes the increase in stock pollution...

Regime shifts and uncertainty in pollution control

de Zeeuw, Aart; Zemel, Amos - 2012

We develop a simple model of managing a system subject to pollution damage under risk of an abrupt and random jump in the damage coefficient. The model allows the full dynamic characterization of the optimal emission policies under uncertainty. The results, that imply prudent behavior due to...

Competitive trilateral lobbying for and against subsidizing green energy

Pethig, Rüdiger - 2011

A small open economy operates a carbon emission trading scheme and subsidizes green energy. Taking cap-and-trade as given, we seek to explain the subsidy as the outcome of a trilateral tug of war between the green energy industry, the black energy industry and consumers. With parametric...

Distributional constraints and efficiency in a tradable permit market

Hagem, Cathrine; Westskog, Hege - 2006

It is a well known result that taking distributional constraints into account when allocating tradable permits to different agents can lead to an imperfectly competitive permit market. Hence, the emission target is no longer met at least cost. In this paper we suggest an allocation rule for...
