Who benefits from market-based environmental policies? To shed light on this question, we investigate the environmental and distributional consequences of regional cap-and-trade programs to mitigate sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from U.S. power plants. Using double and triple differences,...

Exploiting the implementation of the NOx Budget Trading Program (NBP), we show that a regional environmental regulation can have an unintended emission spillover effect from NBP-regulated power plants to manufacturing plants not regulated by the NBP via hikes in electricity prices. Our...

As reporting GHG emissions becomes mandatory in the financial sector, the methods by which emissions are calculated will grow in importance for their impact on the resulting metric. Progress is underway in both the public and private financial sectors to embed emissions accounting standards, but...

In light of increased economic integration and global warming, addressing critical issues such as the role of multilateral climate policies and the strategic interaction of countries in climate negotiations becomes paramount. We thus established for this paper an open economy environmental...

As climate change and the regulation of carbon dioxide emissions play an increasingly important role in the global policy debate, careful consideration of the local determinants driving emissions must be considered. The importance of local determinants in the transmission of carbon dioxide...
