This paper examines how income inequality can affect the polarization of heterogeneous party platforms on climate … distributional implications) and an income tax is combined with a model of a carbonintensive economy. For a higher inequality of pre … equilibrium can increase - even if the income tax is used to counteract the increase in income inequality. This result does not …

Environmental policy in an integrated world economy
Schulze, Günther G.; Ursprung, Heinrich W. - 1998
This paper critically assesses the literature on the relationship between economic integration and the environment. In particular, we investigate how trade liberalisation and capital market integration affect environmental policy and thus environmental quality. Conversely, we also study how...

Alternate solutions in mixing energy tax/subsidy and emission control policies
Heydari, Shahriar Shah; Vestergaard, Niels - 2015
In this article, we look at the combination of several market-based climate and energy policies and compare them with first best solution, i.e., a perfectly designed emission tax or emission cap level. It is shown that in the case an emission control policy is imperfect designed or implemented,...

Optimally differentiated carbon prices for unilateral climate policy
Boeters, Stefan - 2013
Economic thought on climate policy as an instance of environmental regulation is strongly influenced by the principle of a uniform carbon price. Economists acknowledge that this principle breaks down in a second-best world with other distortions, such as taxes and market power in domestic and...

Directed Technical Change and Climate Policy
Otto, Vincent M. - 2006
This paper studies the cost effectiveness of climate policy if there are technology externalities. For this purpose, we develop a forward-looking CGE model that captures empirical links between CO2 emissions associated with energy use, directed technical change and the economy. We find the...

Instrumentation Strategies and Instrument Mixes for Long Term Climate Policy
Huppes, Gjalt - 2015
The good intentions of COP21 are to be reached by novel climate policy instrumentation, beyond what has been developed till now. For the long term two fundamentally different strategies emerge, each leading to a set of instruments fit for the challenging task in principle. The first has a...

Tradable Emission Permits in a Federal System
Verbon, Harrie A. A.; Withagen, Cees - 2021
A system of tradable permits in the standard setting is effective in attaining the policy objective with regard to pollution reduction at the least cost. This outcome is challenged in case of a tradable permit system in a federal state with individual states having discretionary power regarding...

Optimal energy taxes and subsidies under a cost-effective unilateral climate policy : addressing carbon leakage
Kruse-Andersen, Peter Kjær; Sørensen, Peter Birch - 2019
We analyze how a country pursuing a unilateral climate policy may contribute to a reduction in global CO2 emissions in a cost-effective way. To do so its system of energy taxes and subsidies must account for leakage of emissions from the domestic to the foreign economy. We focus on leakage...
