All environmental policies involve costs of implementation and management that are distinct from pollution sources’ abatement costs. In practice, regulators and sources usually share these administrative costs. We examine theoretically an optimal policy consisting of an emissions tax and the...

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...

We estimate the technical efficiency gains of introducing individual quotas (IQs) in fisheries. Our estimates are based on two samples of vessels, considering a potential self-selection bias and controlling for quality changes in landings induced by the IQ system. The results suggest that the...

Estudiamos el efecto de un subsidio a hogares que incentive el cambio a equipos de combustión de leña más eficientes y menos contaminantes. Se comparan, mediante simulaciones numéricas, diversos diseños de subsidio respecto del impacto sobre emisiones, costo y los indicadores de...
