Will skyscrapers save the planet?

Borck, Rainald - 2014 - Preliminary and incomplete

This paper studies the effectiveness of building height limits as a policy to limit greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It shows that building height limits lead to urban sprawl and higher emissions from commuting. On the other hand, aggregate housing consumption may decrease which reduces emissions...

Regional economic effects of differentiated climate action, carbon leakage, and anti-leakage measure

Kąsek, Leszek; Kiuila, Olga; Wójtowicz, Krzysztof; … - 2013

We analyze existing definitions of carbon leakage and propose a new rigorous one. This is then tested using computable general equilibrium analysis for unilateral carbon dioxide abatement programs in the European Union in 2020, adopted under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate...

Prices versus quantities with morally concerned consumers

Schmidt, Klaus M.; Herweg, Fabian - 2021

It is widely believed that an environmental tax (price regulation) and cap-and-trade (quantity regulation) are equally efficient in controlling pollution when there is no uncertainty. We show that this is not the case if some consumers (firms, local governments) are morally concerned about...
