Anticipated international environmental agreements
Açıkgöz, Ömer T.; Benchekroun, Hassan - 2016
Consider a situation in which countries anticipate an international environmental agreement (IEA) to be in effect sometime in the future. What is the impact of the future IEA on current emissions after its announcement? We show that the answer to this question is ambiguous. We examine four types...

Transboundary externalities and reciprocal taxes : a differential game approach
Mason, Charles F. - 2017
I investigate the interaction between a country that imports a commodity whose production contributes to a stock pollution, such as electricity, from a country that produces that commodity. If the transboundary externality is priced improperly, the application of a feed-in tariff or border tax...

Transboundary pollution and clean technologies
Benchekroun, Hassan; Ray Chaudhuri, Amrita - In: Resource and Energy Economics 36 (2014) 2, pp. 601-619
Within a non-cooperative transboundary pollution game, we investigate the impact of the adoption of a cleaner technology (i.e., a decrease in the emission to output ratio). We show that countries may respond by increasing their emissions resulting in an increase in the stock of pollution that...

A Self-enforcing International Environmental Agreement on Matching Rates: Can It Bring About an Efficient and Equitable Outcome?
Fujita, Toshiyuki - In: Strategic Behavior and the Environment 3 (2013) 4, pp. 329-345
We incorporate matching schemes into a model of transboundary environmental agreements and investigate their effectiveness using three-stage game models. In the first stage, each country decides whether to accede to the agreement. In the second stage, the signatories collectively choose a common...

Voluntary corporate climate initiatives and regulatory loom : batten down the hatches
Ilić, Dragan; Mollet, Janick Christian - 2015
The rationale of voluntary corporate initiatives is often explained with preparedness for future regulation. We test this hypothesis for the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) and the Climate Leaders (CL), two popular voluntary US environmental programs to curb carbon emission that were operating...

Unilateral climate policy, asymmetric backstop adoption, and carbon leakage in a two-region hotelling model
Van der Werf, Edwin - 2010
We study backstop adoption and carbon dioxide emission paths in a two-region model with unilateral climate policy and non-renewable resource consumption. The regions have an equal endowment of the internationally tradable resource and a backstop technology. We first study the case of a...

Consumption-based approaches in international climate policy : an analytical evaluation of the implications for cost-effectiveness, carbon leakage, and the international income dis...
Lininger, Christian - 2013
As an agreement on an international climate treaty appears out of sight in the short run, many countries rely on unilateral greenhouse gas abatement strategies. The reach of such unilateral policies can be extended beyond the borders of the abating country by a switch to a consumption-based...
