Kyoto and the carbon content of trade
Aichele, Rahel; Felbermayr, Gabriel - 2010
A unilateral tax on CO2 emissions may drive up indirect carbon imports from non-committed countries, leading to carbon leakage. Using a gravity model of carbon trade, we analyze the effect of the Kyoto Protocol on the carbon content of bilateral trade. We construct a novel data set of CO2...

Pollution-reducing infrastructure and urban environmental policy
Quaas, Martin F. - 2005
Based on a case study on Bombay, we argue that urban infrastructure, like the sewage system and the municipal waste collection, is an important instrument for urban environmental policy. We develop a spatial general equilibrium model of a monocentric city, where infrastructure serves as a public...

Managing the spatial externalities of renewable energy deployment : uniform vs. differentiated regulation
Geiger, Charlotte; Lehmann, Paul - 2021
With the expansion of renewable energy sources (RES) in countries all over the world, policy design to address the negative impacts of RES plants on their local and regional environment gains in importance. We analyse whether policy design should be spatially-differentiated or uniform when...

Climate policies with pollution externalities and learning spillovers
Lehmann, Paul - 2009
Economic theory suggests that with a pollution externality and learning spillovers related to renewable energy technologies, the optimal climate policy mix includes an emissions policy and an output subsidy to the learning industry. Instead of output subsidies, feed-in tariffs are often...
