We explore the cost-effectiveness of economic incentives to induce changes in wood consumption in urban areas. We consider the case of Temuco and Padre Las Casas in southern Chile. Three incentives schemes are considered: subsidy to the demand of dry wood

We study the effect of a household subsidy to induce the adoption of more efficient and less polluting wood combustion technologies. We compare, through numerical simulations, several subsidy designs with respect to the impact on aggregate emissions, costs, and cost-effectiveness indicators. Two...

We study through framed field economic experiment the effects of exogenous changes in abundance levels of a renewable natural resource on compliance individual decisions of users operating under a common property regime and a system of Territorial use rights in fisheries (TURF) considering...

We study the cost effectiveness property of different control strategies for improving environmental quality. Our prospective analysis considers the application of Transferable Emissions Permit System (TEPS), Transferable Ambient Permit System (TAPS) and Standards (Std) applied on fix sources in...

Estudiamos la propiedad de costo-efectividad de un sistema de permisos de emisión transferibles (SPET) frente un sistema de estándares de emisión. Nuestro análisis agrega a los costos de abatimiento, los costos de fiscalización para inducir cumplimiento. Consideramos, además, escenarios de...

How many instruments should be used to address a particular environmental problem? That is the question this article addresses. According to the "Tinbergen rule," one instrument per target is needed. The existence of any non-environmental market failures affecting the environmental problem at...
