Economic Implications of Alternative Allocation Schemes for Emission Allowances: A Theoretical and Applied Analysis

Böhringer, Christoph; Lange, Andreas - 2003

Political feasibility of emission trading systems may crucially depend on the free initial allocation of emission allowances to energy-intensive industries in order to ameliorate adverse production and employment effects. We investigate the potential trade-off between such compensation and...

Climate politics from Kyoto to Bonn: from little to nothing?!?

Böhringer, Christoph - 2001

We investigate how the U.S. withdrawal and the amendments of the Bonn climate policy conference in 2001 will change the economic and environmental impacts of the Kyoto Protocol in its original form. Based on simulations with a large-scale computable general equilibrium model, we find that U.S....

In Search of a Rationale for Differentiated Environmental Taxes

Rutherford, Thomas F.; Böhringer, Christoph - 2002

Environmental tax schemes in OECD countries often involve tax rates differentiated across industrial, commercial and household sectors. In this paper, we investigate four potentially important arguments for these deviations from uniform taxation: pre-existing tax distortions, domestic equity...
