Let tiebout pick up the tab : pricing out externalities with free mobility

Watanabe, Hiroki - 2016

Free mobility has not been thought of as an effective tool to correct over- or underproduction of externalities. In … this paper, we establish that foot voting can internalize the cost of negative externalities. Workers have to accept the … can effectively influence the equilibrium wage and rent to reflect the externalities by threatening to walk away if the …

Subsidising renewables but taxing storage? : second-best policies with imperfect carbon pricing

Helm, Carsten; Mier, Mathias - 2019

We consider an economy in which competitive firms use three technologies for electricity production: pollutive fossils, intermittent renewables like wind or solar, and storage. We determine optimal subsidies for renewables and storage capacities when carbon pricing is imperfect. This policy is...
