Would my driving pattern change if my neighbor were to buy an emission-free car?
Kverndokk, Snorre; Figenbaum, Erik; Hovi, Jon - 2019
Aiming to reduce the number of brown (polluting) cars on the road, several countries currently promote the purchase and use of green (emission-free) cars through financial and non-financial incentives. We study how such incentives affect consumers who continue to drive brown cars. Using a simple...

Managing Pollution Risk Through Emissions Trading
Ghosh, Gaurav S.; Shortle, James S. - 2012
We compare two tradable permit markets in their ability to meet a safety first environmental target at least cost when some polluters have stochastic, correlated, and non-measurable emissions. In both markets, the point source permit defines the allowable level of the observed (deterministic)...

The adoption of energy efficiency enhancing technologies
Verhoef, Erik T.; Nijkamp, Peter - 1997
This paper analyses the adoption of energy-efficiency enhancing technologies by heterogeneous firms. The fact that energy use does not only cause external environmental costs through pollution, but also directly affects the profitability of the firm and hence its behaviour on input and output...

Weitzman revisited : emission standards vs. taxes with uncertain control costs and market power of polluting firms
Heuson, Clemens (contributor) - 2008
It is well known that uncertainty concerning firms’ costs as well as market power of the latter have to be taken into account in order to design and choose environmental policy instruments in an optimal way. As a matter of fact, in most actual regulation settings the policy maker has to face...

Externalities in the urban economy
Verhoef, Erik T.; Nijkamp, Peter - 2003
This paper is concerned with the economics of urban externalities. We start by reviewing the literature on urban … externalities, and observe that although many interesting contributions have been made, there seems to be sufficient scope and need … pursued in future research on urban externalities. These include (1) the explicit consideration of mutual interactions between …

Environmental policy in a two sector growth model
Hettich, Frank; Svane, Minna Selene - 1998
This paper analyses policy measures within a two sector endogenously growing economy with pollution. Pollution is either generated by production or by the use of physical capital in production, and can be reduced by public abatement activities. In this generalized Uzawa Lucas model, the effects...
