A good opening : the key to make the most of unilateral climate action

Offsetting versus mitigation activities to reduce CO 2 emissions : a theoretical and empirical analysis for the US and Germany
Lange, Andreas; Ziegler, Andreas - 2012
This paper studies the voluntary provision of public goods that is partially driven by a desire to offset for individual polluting activities. We first extend existing theory and show that offsets allow a reduction in effective environmental pollution levels while not necessarily extending the...
